Guild Wars 2

As the title say’s lets make these items such as armours and weapons salvagable again instead of throwing away potential mats..

and yes, I remember the Karma farmers at the beginning but in all honesty, the runes from these armours and weapons arent worth much on the TP so would be pointless to exploit (not that you can Karma farm any more)

The reason I’m making this suggestion is like others, I’m having to throw away amours that I no longer use as they were taking up bank space shrug

You can toss them into the mystic forge and salvage the results.

true, still a waste tho, 3 bits + stone for 1 item

My understanding is that Arena.net doesn’t want karma to be something you can essentially “trade” for gold, hence why items you get for karma can’t be salvaged.

It’s the same reason why gear you buy with Badges of Honor can’t be salvaged.

I feel so bad for people that use these. It’s a shame they stealth punish someone who uses this part of the game. “stealth” because it’s not obvious when they purchase it that they will regret it later. I can just imagine some poor player that puts superior sigil of generosity on a wvw weapon, and then they may want different stats, but are SOL. You’d think they would want to encourage people to use these special items. Guess they were a mistake.

Yea I just deleted around 15 karma items with expensive runes and sigils on it… I logged off and cried for a minute but don’t tell anyone

I find it funny that they are so virtuous with making it so you can’t salvage karma items so as to not allow karma to be turned into gold, then they turn around and tell you to buy gems with real money to get more gold every time you open the trading post.

It’s not virtuous, it’s actually mercenary, in the literal sense of the word. They are protecting the live economy by preventing the merger of unlimited gold sources. Look at the Snowflake scandal! One small mistake made a huge difference within the economy.
