Due to the increase in shard prices and the fact that gathering them takes forever, I think we should be able to decompose/break down crystals and clusters. Maybe crystals could break down to 5-10 shards and clusters to 20? Just a suggestion. Being that most RMTs/bots don't make it to high enough levels to gather these, it may be a way to help curb their activity.

This is just a suggestion because gathering shards is dreadfully slow when you're using up to 15-20 for one item.
