Guild Wars 2

What do you think guys?

Personally i got the feeling that Karma is a pretty useless currency at the moment.

My suggestion would be to make Siege Blueprints and keep upgrades more dependent on Karma and less on money. Anything else?

Couldn’t agree more.
It’s not appealing to me the fact that WvW is expensive. You expend a lot more money than you earn from it.
By using karma (which you get from the WvW events) things would get better.

We do need something to spend our karma on was the exotics but now what do we have to buy if your goal isnt a legendary

Good chance ascended armor will be purchasable with karma, probably over 200k per piece I would think.

Kharma is worthless right not, aside from crafting a legendary at some point or purchasing the Orr sets.

Worthless otherwise.

A perfect sink for kharma would be an “Armor skin closet” of sorts. Once you acquire a skin (after equipping it), seemlessly and without the player knowing that skin gets saved in a “closet” where you can go to, spend kharma to take a copy of that skin out and use it to transmog your gear.

Pretty much after you gear, it’s done for usefulness really.

I really hope that u can purchase Ascended gear with Karma in the very near future…starting to piss me off that i still cant run the best equip in WvW without farming lameass dungeons..

What’s wrong with Invader’s gear? It seems pretty good to me.

I had about 200,000 karma. Wasn’t going to waste it on the horrible looking legendary bows so I ended up spending it on other bows JUST to get the skin/look. Other then that I found it useless. It might be nice for those that don’t or didn’t level a crafting profession that can make armour or weapons.

This is a really good idea. Have you posted it in the Suggestions forum?

I have both my 80s with at least partial sets of exotic karma armor. You don’t get to select the stats the way you do with gold-bought gear, but it’s a good supplement to dungeon gear and can come with expensive runes.

The trouble is you keep earning karma after you’ve fully equipped your characters. Not that it’s a trouble (thankfully it doesn’t take up all your bank space the way tokens do), but there’s only so many harvesting tools you can use. I’d love for an option to get cultural or other attractive skins with karma.

Making karma useful can be done in many ways. I would suggest also adding a skin tab in your bank (upgradable as with the normal bank) and allow all the karma hearts the ability to sell you just the skins for the items they sell. I know there are many skins (looks) I really liked but the stats of the items didn’t appeal to me and as such I lost track of them. This skin bank could also be account wide so as to allow all your character to transpose your look. Adding basic transmute stone ability (1 time) to these skins would make them desirable after which they could be transmuted normally.

I would also suggest adding a plethora of new recipes to the karma venders (maybe even a recipe for the item(s) or skins they sell).
