Gathering shards mind numbing

[kidalutz]

Some solutions I thought of would be :
- to increase the amount of shards gathered by servants depending on their level (like a really big increase, static 60 shards per hour is not enough),
- to increase the amount of shards harvested from shard plants,
- to decrease the amount of shards needed for crafting (at least for mats),
- to offer an automatic way (just like quick synthesis, but for gathering),
- to offer an official "gathering bot", instead of pushing to use a third party program bot

Unless you want to encourage bots from third party programs...

Uh yes to everything but the last two. Last two would get abused hard and are frankly the equivalent of getting something for nothing not even token effort.
