Can we just remove shards from the game?

I think the system with shards is fine. The biggest problem is the marketboard itself. I couldn't count how many times I had to buy 1k shards at a time. They need to change the whole idea of an open market where you can actually see what people are selling to a closed. Have the buyer be able request how much of an item they want at a preset price(determined by the demand of the product). This would solve 3 issues: Undercutting asshats, give a clear picture on what is in demand to avoid flooding of the market, and make it easier overall on the buyer to obtain the items instead of buying stacks of 1000 when you only need 100 lol. I might of gone a little of topic, but I think the root cause is this.

If you need so few shards that buying 1000 is unrealistic for you, you don't craft enough for the shard imbalance to really affect you. It's not unrealistic for me to go through 3,000 shards in one day. That kind of volume in such a short time frame requires that either your entire static help you with shard farming or you buy from obvious RMT bots like "Rghltnwlket" who only sells in stacks of 2500.
