It's encouraging people to buy bots. Cost of shards on AH are to high. It takes at least 1k any element shards to craft for a day. Having a skill on a timer that lets you gather 3 shards instead of one every five minutes sucks. Why don't you make it 25 shards instead of 3? GATHERING SHARDS IS BOOOOORRRRRINNNNG. It takes me three gd days to get enough shards to craft for one day! Shards from leves, retainers, questing or anything else is not enough.

And housing is to expensive. I was told it would depreciate daily but I'm not seeing it.
