Okay, so… yeah over the summer, my husband and I got slapped across the face with the removal of Karma Boosters.

For my husband and I, who put those Boosters in the Enchanted Booster, while others got to keep their single use karma Boosters and had not converted them into Enchanted Boosters to conserve space, my husband and I got… screwed.

I had addressed this on the forums before with no avail.

NOW… ya took away my Laurel MF Boosters that I would buy regularly with my Laurels for when I go Farming in SWs. You replaced it with those Item Booster, which by the way, has a CRAPPY timer on it (Thanks alot snort)

By doing this you jacked me of 30% of my MF that I would have been buffed with almost round-the-clock when farming SWs.

I would accept this better if I knew why it was done. Granted, I don’t go combing every website out there, like say Dulfy, or whatever, to find out why it may have been done, but for what little research I did do on on this move, I came up empty-handed.

Anet is changing things, we all know this, but the changes would be better received if you told us WHY you were doing it. To me, I haven’t seen a reason given from Anet on why they took that item away, an item that I used avidly to increase my MF. It is almost as if Anet, you’re getting bored, oh! well, let’s just take this item out of the game, it’ll give us something to do.

sighs

(Unless once again, the reason was given and I… once again, missed it.)

I use to be a Ritualist and a Paragon in my former life…

I don’t disagree with you on the karma booster; that was just lame of them to do. But the Item Boosters might only last for half an hour, but it gives you 20% more MF than the old booster did. Plus, you get 2 boosters for one laurel. I don’t see why that’s so bad.

There was a rather large thread about this that has drifted several pages away. I’m dumbfounded that they didn’t handle this better. If you kept your Karma Boosters they weren’t removed but because they altered the Enchanted Booster to include the new XP booster, they chose then to also remove Karma because you couldn’t get the stand alone ones anymore. Would have been better to introduce a new Enchanted Booster without the Karma and with the new XP booster while keeping the older one as well and maybe provide a trade in option at the some vendor that converted the booster for 10s.

But 20/20 hindsight.

Edit: Found it on page 8.
