Guild Wars 2

I’d like to have an offical response on why karma DR is effected by the amount of boosts you have on yourself. After the DR relaxing i still find it impossible to use karma booster / banner and guild karma boost together. Hitting DR so fast.

Why the DR is effected by boosts? Shouldn’t the base 375 effect DR but not the boosts?

Also when you get karma nerf since they all work with percentages the boosts get worse as you hit DR. It is pretty stupid if you ask me. I wonder if i’m missing anything here.

Any offical response is much apprectiated. (Otherwise please put a warning to karma booster you sell on gem store because people could pay 1.5 gold for that and boom DR and feel really down.)

ah ty for this post, same concern as myself. Originally I looked at the items from the shop and felt that the karma and magic find boost were probably the 2 times i’ll keep buying because the char slots and stuff once you open them once you’re done. But then I realized w/ magic find boosts = boom I get item DRed due to full MF set + boost. I’m not sure about the karma booster because I used mine when relog was still effective. But yea what’s the point in getting them now ;/

Yes i also do not see any point in them..especially because you hit DR before they run out which leads into making a decision: Do you want to do other stuff while DR goes off or want to log out to another char (as someone that dislikes having alts meaning i have to log out and do other stuff instead of playing.) so your booster time doesnt run out while waiting.

I am just curious if i am missing a valid point, i don’t want to believe they actually did it this way to punish people use influence/gold to get boosts.

Yep, I stopped purchasing consumables from the Black Lion when the DR system was added.

Hey, more money for me I am fine with that. If Arenanet ever wants to make consumables worthwhile again I will continue to buy them. But as it stands now, they won’t be getting any more of my money.

They should totally make incoming from boosts get seperated from normal loot/karma you get. UNLESS! of course i am missing something in this system. After all they may know something we dont and is the reason they do it this way.

That is why i wanted an offical response… it really bothers me a lot.

Almost as if they are in direct opposition.

Wonder if we’ll see a DR reducer for sale soon?
