Karma Cost on Sub-80 Vendors Currently Too High
The karma amounts (pre-nerf) were about right.
They rendered the armor useless in my eyes.
I completely agree with this. Unless I stand in one spot grinding the same event hundreds of times over, there is no way to get that kind of karma. I really felt they were in a good spot during release.
When I hit 35, I was able to just squeeze by and get my culture armor as well as both of my culture weapons. They served me well, but I am level 60 now.. I cant even come close to affording a single weapon.
On top of this, they dont let you do anything with culture weapons either. I cant sell them, or break them down. Seems a bit off putting.
Who is really going to spend 35k Karma for something that will be outleveled later that day?
I was at work the day after I read on reddit they raised Karma costs. I was lvl 41(?) at the time and was looking forward to going home and spending some Karma on a new weap. Needless to say, I have never purchased anything w/ Karma. The costs are INSANE if you consider that weapon will be obsolete in a few days.
Shame too, b/c I really wanted one.
Oh well. C’est La Vie!
Wait, so tier 2 cultural weapons cost 35k karma now? That’s insane! As of level 62 I’ve gained maybe 14k karma total, and I’ve barely spent any of that at heart vendors simply because I gain it so slowly that I don’t want to cash out prior to level 80 for gear that will be quickly outdated and rarely has anything other than a generic skin. To me, that says that they now expect even tier 2 cultural equipment to simply be skins to earn at end game, which seems absurd if its not even level 80 gear. What’s the point?
