Guild Wars 2

As topic, the previous patches have been pretty clear on that you don’t want us to convert karma to gold at any rate, but currently there really is nothing valuable to spend karma on out there. Sure, there are some exotic sets you could get in orr (theoretically speaking) but if you’re decked out in exotics there is absolutely nothing else you could spend it on, besides crafting a legendary maybe, but with the other prequesites in mind, that way is not for everyone.
I would surely like to see the available selection of exotic pieces for karma being extended to other types (berserker etc.), or maybe some gem shop items made available through karma or something.

Oh, and it should really be account wide btw. There really is no reason why it shouldn’t be, it’s not like the equipment you can purchase for karma wasn’t available cheaper at the tp for most of the time anyway.

Yeah, I too have accumulated well over 500.000 Karma since getting my Legendary and it’s just sitting there.

I always liked the idea of Karma being a universal currency for buying almost anything. T6 Mats, Rare items etc. should all be purchasable for Karma.

If we could buy a rare item for about 6000 Karma and T6 Mats for like 1000 per Mat it would do a lot of balance out the economy and make it less susceptible to market manipulators.

It would also mean that playing the game in a natural way would also be a viable way to farm anything.

This would indeed be what players would love. But I suspect not the purseholders at Anet

Wile this is a great idea.This will never happen cause it would take the need out for the gem store.

I don’t think so, cause you don’t need to grind fractals for Karma and you can’t buy it in the shop.
