    Ya but it would reward getting gathering up, right now just for shard farming you need lvl 1 miner or botanist, and that's it. If you could more effectively get shards by mining higher level crystals, not only could you get some xp at the right level ranges (and its around the time you'll need some) you'd save tons of time. If a Crystal broke down into 8 or 10 shards, gathering classes could easily get enough shards to keep the crafts going for a much more reasonable effort. As it is you need to spend 30-45 minutes getting 500 - 1k shards every now and then (for some crafts, WVR is murder on shards while CRP is much more forgiving). If you could cut that down to 15 minutes for that many shards, it wouldn't feel so bad.

    Except that crystals aren't available at 100% of the nodes.
