My idea was more for an alternate way for some folks to get shards Thunndar.
Aquiring shards via an alternate method should not be "easy" or "fast".
My idea handled both of those by limiting how many a player could get per day and imposing a monetary requirement so they would need to farm mobs to get it. Players who can and are getting 14 a day would not use such an alternate method, or if they did, they would already have every possible shard item by this time anyway, so it wouldn't help them now.
