Guild Wars 2

Now, we’ve had plenty of threads complaining about outmanned being useless…
What I would like to talk about is it not working and it being removed when you get downed…
First of all, you’re outmanned and most of the times you WILL get downed or even killed, nothing to do about it. Unless you’re a scaredy cat who runs away all the time. But every good WvW’r knows that if you’re scared you will fail most of the time so we are bound to definitely get downed and killed when we are outmanned!
So stop giving incentives for people to have the chicken behaviour! Them being afraid of repair costs is enough already!
Please let us keep the buffed as useless as it is, I like my extra karma!

Now onto the second part: Outmanned buff is NOT working, atleast the karma part isn’t. I haven’t checked the Experience part, and it’s pretty impossible to check magic find.
BUT it is NOT working!
How did I come to this conclusion ? Well I went and killed dollies.
On my main guild I have +15% karma buff running and these were my findings:
1) In my guild and in our own bl where we weren’t outmanned: Reward said 85 karma but I actually got 98 (85 * 1.15 = 97.75 but they round it up to 98)
2) In my guild and in an outmanned BL, WITH the outmanned buff active: Reward said 85 karma but I actually got 98
3) In outmanned BL, in a different guild where no buff was active: Reward said 85 and I DID get 85
4) In our not-outmanned bl: Reward said 85 and I got 85.

Conclusion ? You do NOT get the +33% karma the outmanned buff promises you! There’s literally no reward to being outmanned!

As mentioned I did not check the experience part. Maybe someone else could do it ?

Well, if that’s true, we WvWvW players are being “played”.

Yes, I would like the outmanned buff to atleast work so I can have SOMETHING to look forward too since we’re pretty much outmanned most of the time.
