Guild Wars 2

Hi, I would just like to ask and check if, making simple stew herbs from cooking using materials bought with karma then selling it for 10silver a stack, is considered an exploit/bug or not?
The exchange rate is around 5k karma to one gold which seems reasonable to me. However I would like confirmation before I do this. Thanks.

As a general note, 5k karma is likely more valuable than 1 gold. Considerably more valuable. Not sure what level you’ve reached, but 1 gold is not a lot whereas 5k karma is, in terms of time it would take, on average, to earn both. A lot of end-game things want karma.

I just want an answer from Anet, I have no use for karma atm, and could really used the gold. (fyi I’m 80 and have been 80 for a long time, karma is useless to me)
