Guild Wars 2

Diminishing returns: If you do things too repetitive your rewards will drop a lot. This also means karma. You can avoid DR by not being repetitive. If you notice you are caught by DR you best can go to as different map and do events there for atleast 60-90 minutes.

The exact mechanism is unknown, this cause it is an anti botter mechanism and Anet doesnt want the botters to find a way around.

You hit Diminishing Returns (DR) which is Guild Wars 2 anti farming code.

Know one knows how long it takes to start it but once it starts that character needs to leave that map and do something else for a while to reset it. You can return to the first map after you have done other things elsewhere. ANet doesn’t give out the details as botters would use this information to avoid it.

I knew about DR, didn’t know if affect events like that too. I only recently started farming events because of the karma nerf (wasted mine on orrian boxes ).
I found out switching a toon also works. Thanks

Edit: wow, i don’t get karma in dungeons too? I just sis my usual rounds and got 0 karma in all of them according to wiki im supposed to get 1880. What’s going on?

They recently took karma rewards from dungeons.
