Guild Wars 2

As a returning player after a year of absence this nerf is so annoying it is not even funny. By the time i stopped playing i was almost done with my first legendary, which i completed without a problem after returning but only because it was mostly done anyways (the only thing missing were the dungeon marks.)

As i have mostly no interest in PvE, even after trying to get into it after i returned, i decided to work on a second legendary which i would wear (first one was sold).

So, i was able to make 100k+ karma a day without much hassle in time of plinx+etc. but now, even if i play all day the most i got was 40k-50k and i really played all day for that (mostly wvw because it seems the fastest way to get karma if you got a good group and a competent commander).

Yes, i know you can run fractals without end but i am no fan of PvE/dungeons and as i have no guild, “trying to” run pugs drives me insane.

Try finding pugs which are good and have no requirements (experienced, 5k AP, yadda yadda).
Karma from daily and monthly is a joke and not even worth doing except for the laures which i can spend on 3 Obsi shards for 3.

I tried doing the living world stuff for karma but in the end it isn´t worth the time for the karma i got. I know you can trade belongings for obsi shards but after testing for a weak wvw is still more reliable and faster in terms of aquiring karma/getting shards.

I am nowhere near being done with getting the 250 obsi’s and i currently have no intention to keep on playing for that until karma gets boosted again (which it will eventually, i hope) as getting the obsi’s and the karma for the mystic clovers, which could be done (if determined) in about a week before the nerf but now takes probably more than a month.

It is infuriating that i see people in overflow spamming their 6 Legendarys like its no biggie because they maxed out karma before the nerf hit and as a new or returning player you simply put, got screwed.

People complained that they had nothing to spent their vast amounts of karma on and arenanet screws things up by punishing the players which not already got their karma maxed out.

So yeah, screw this iam out again until it gets changed back one day.
