Guild Wars 2

Karma is available in every other aspect of the game except pvp. I believe they should add karma. PvP matches are a type of event, so it’s only fair they be rewarded as such. I’m not asking for a lot, maybe around 300-350 for a win, and 100 for a loss. This would put it on par with PvE/WvW events. This wouldn’t vastly effect the game economy, and it would be beneficial to the players.

The main sink for Karma, though, is Obsidian Shards - and we can get a whole bunch of those (along with the Mystic Clovers that they’re used for) from the reward tracks.

I was wondering how we’d get Karma when the announcement was made that all items needed for legendaries would be available within PvP - I’m quite happy with the Obsidian Shards instead of Karma (though we still get a tiny amound of the purple triangle stuff from dailies, monthlies and the occasional champ bag).

The only things I might want to buy with Karma that aren’t Obsidian Shards are skins (and getting to the merchants that sell them will probably generate enough for what you want) and PvE-only items (like Fire Elemental Powder) that you’re proooobably doing PvE events for anyway.

While karma to shards is one of the main reasons for it. There are others reasons for karma; gearing and profit. If they got rid of the shards in PvP, and replaced it with karma. This would give the player the choice to spend it on shards or how they please.

I would love Karma in PvP. Sure we get Obsidian Shards, but there are other uses for Karma as well. One thing that was taken out from this Patch was being able to buy Bag Slots with some type of PvP Currency, since Glory was removed.

This may sound silly, but initially, I decided to spend most of my time in HotM because I wanted the 18 and 20 slot bags.
I missed out on buying the Tomes (kitten it) but at least those are obtainable if I’m consistent.
Bags would be great.

You can buy the bags though :/ its like 12 gold for a 18 slot bag,.
Which is about 40 wins in soloque @25silver each.

In the old rank system it would take you about a month of games to get to R30 and from then on Bags were pretty much free.

Support the economy! #Buybags

I’ve actually made the claim that you get no karma in pvp other then daily/monthly but You actually get a chance at some karma per Champion bag.
So it’s feasible to obtain karma through pvp , just really ineffective.
(Perhaps larger karma rewards are in order, maybe as a reward from the Rarer Boxes?)
