Recap: On August 20, 2013 A new patch bringing us Clockwork Chaos was released. Besides giving us the new chapter of the Living Story, there were other changes.... the one that caused the biggest furor was increasing the base amount of Karma by 50% in the consumable Karma items, BUT removing karma modifiers which could increase the amount of Karma by 95% (plus account bonuses) which was 45+% more than the new amount which could no longer be modified.
The GW2 community expressed outrage and it was refreshing for a game dev team to acknowledge a mistake and then implement a way for players to have a choice within hours of the mistake...
SO hoard consumable Karma at your own risk! Urge your guild to manufacture +15 Karma modifiers and make it an evening event so all members can use.....

This is totally our fault, we dropped the ball on this plain and simple. We planned to have this messaged ahead of time to be fair to everyone, communication broke down between those who knew it was supposed to be messaged, and those who were supposed to message it and it simply didn’t happen.
As game director this is ultimately my fault first and foremost, and I’m sorry for those who potentially lost some karma as a result. It is our policy to message these kind of changes ahead of time with lots of warning, I’ll do everything possible to make sure this doesn’t happen in the future.
I’d recommend not using your karma consumables yet, give us a day or two to try and see what options we have available to help mitigate the issue.

Hi everybody,
Today we made adjustments to karma where the amount of karma granted from consumable karma items was increased and karma boosts no longer affected the amount of karma gained from consumable items.
We intended to message this change ahead of time to be fair to everyone, however this did not happen, and we apologize for not giving you advance notice.
The lack of advance warning resulted in some people losing out on karma that they would have otherwise gained by using boosts with the karma they’d saved up.
We will be temporarily rolling back the karma change in a hotfix to allow people the opportunity to turn in their karma with any buffs they intended to use. This temporary rollback will be in effect until the game update on September 3.
Please note, while this temporary rollback is in effect: the in-game text for the karma consumables booster found on the Gem Store will incorrectly state that it does not affect karma gained from consumable items.
We will also be reimbursing the people who used their karma during the period when the initial change was in effect with as close to the correct amount of karma as possible.
We’re really sorry about the frustration this caused and we will make every effort in the future to make you aware of changes like this ahead of time.
