Can we just remove shards from the game?

[EvianEverdeen]

In 1.0 crafters used to make shards and crystals, lvl 16 alchemy recipes if i recall correctly. made botting of them obsolete. I think alchemists (or some other crafting class) could break clusters into crystals and shards too. The should be an ability given to lvl 50 crafters to break clusters, DoL won't be completely screwed.

So you can bot-gather, but you can't bot-craft? Make sense...
