So they used to be their own type, which allowed them to stack with old and new boosters which was cool, but then they nerfed that….

Which would have been okay because they made it 2 hours for 1 laurel… I thought it was a great deal for our time limited resource… but maybe a bit much… so a nerf might have been in order, however now I look instead of getting 2x 1 hour boosters for our 1 laurel, we now get 30 minutes… which is a 75% nerf…

So now not only do they not stack, but they are 75% less time for our laurels… with exp more necessary than ever why the distinct and horrendous overnerf? Does anyone know did they even explain it? I never saw anything in the patch notes talking about it which means they most likely ninja nerfed it…

I mean ultimately we can still get exp boosters… but 30 minutes for laurels… which we get like 40 of a month… is pretty harsh… especially when they are the ONLY way to get ascended amulets…

Add your complaints to ours where we complained about them going into our inventories and removing the karma boost option, and see what it gets you.

A big fat nothing is what it will get you. ANet is not going to answer and you’ll get people telling you that because it’s not a problem to them then it’s not a problem to you.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Oh, I was just wondering if there was a distinct reason they ninja nerfed them again… it didn’t quite make any sense…

As much sense as the ninja nerf to karma boosters. Not in the patch notes and they altered boosters we already had in our inventory without warning or compensation. At least you hadn’t bought the Laurel boosters yet, or I hope not.

It makes perfect sense. Reduce over all exp gained via boosters to prolong content. Content in this case being masteries.

Of course we’re being extremely forgiving with the use of the word content here because they don’t actually add very much to the game (so far).

I suppose that could be a reason o.o… it still seems a bit unnecessary… I mean… few people bought them before, then people would buy them, now people won’t again… Its almost like there are two teams at Anet, one that is like santa claus to the players.. giving buffs and good value trades to vendors and players all over tyria, and then theres the wicked witch of the nerf, who swings in behind them and takes it all away, making previously existing things less valuable, or completely useless…

I suppose Anet figures players will finally start using boosters to max out their XP for mastery lines. It’s a laurel sink or a gold/gem sink (when purchased via gem store) which is a win/win for Anet.
