For reasons I cannot understand, Arenanet failed to publish in their latest patch notes that players are now unable to reset the reduced-karma-rewards code by logging in and logging out. Because Arenanet has yet to comment on this code, including who it is intended to penalize and why, we can only speculate.
Whatever their reasoning, the bottom-line is I need well over 700,000 more karma to acquire a legendary weapon. I’ve already dumped $30 into the Gem store in karma boosters out of a planned $80. Tonight I hit the karma cap approximately 40 minutes into my booster with no way to reset it that I am aware of besides to stop running events for an undetermined amount of time. Some people say it can be up to 30 minutes.
What is going on? Who is this code meant for and why are the most tenacious, dedicated players being punished? Why are we being punished for trying harder than anyone else? I just feel… betrayed, and I know I’m not the only one. Posts are popping up all over the forums and on Reddit of dedicated players who just feel like they’ve been smacked in the face for committing to the most daunting task in the game. I know it sounds dramatic, but I love this game. I’ve made it a big part of my life, I’ve dumped hundreds of hours and extra money into it. Why can’t we even get a comment on this?
Please.
