Can we just remove shards from the game?

[Odd]

You realice that the higher crafter recepies will eventually require crystal and cluster to make?

As a master of the hand, yes I realize this. Do you realize that even as someone with all DoH at 50, I still make things of all levels, constantly? If I want to make a stack of level 43 ingots/cloth/leather/whatever, I need 500 of the respective shard. Also, anything that uses crystals and clusters usually isn't crafted in massive quantities, so you don't need a ton of them. I've never bought those from the markets before. As a master of the land, my only issue is with gathering shards. Not crystals. Not Clusters.
