Anyone else think the Shard Shop is a rip-off?

I would like to see a guild trading or donation for shards. Having to trade 20 shards to get 2 is a little bit outrageous.

    I dont think its that bad in terms of getting vader shards. But to get grevious shards its stupid over priced. To get 5 for him its almost 1200 shard currency, but for other characters its 8 shards for that price. I mean whats better 8 Vader shards or 5 Gen. Grevious shards

    Shard trading in a guild would lead to abuse through alt account farming.

    Glad we got it. Used to be a time when extra shards just went to nowhere. Now you can get something for them. :)

    Agree. Just blow em on grievous. Have a five and a half star grievous without even really farming him.

    Someone show me anything in this game that isn't a "ripoff".

    Remember to compare it to other games with better graphics, strategy, content, balance, ect.

    I'll be waiting.

    I swap my shards for raid gear and I think it's great. I wish you'd get a little more but at least now I have another place to get raid gear

    If it's so bad to you why do you play?

    I don't, I haven't played since early summer and before mods. I just troll forums because it's fun. And you still haven't showed me something in this game that isn't a ripoff

    The forums. As you have chosen to experience yourself, the entertainment is free and the drama is priceless and non-stop. It's like sitting home during a workday with a tub of moose tracks ice cream and watching telenovelas when all you speak is a few spanish phrases here and there.

    The OP have a point. Yes, having a Shard Shop is better than nothing, but Grievous is freaking expensive and I would like tohave a better use/profit from my shards. Maybe if the shard exchange rate was a little bit better and we could have a better range of characters, even at random chance, in Shard Shop...

    the shard shop is a rip-off, no doubt

    but meh, it is not the most rip-off part of the game, not even close

    what about the guild currency shop, 16,500 guild currency for 50 furnance pieces (and bring your own blowdryers), when the furnance sells for just 1,400 crystals?

    or the gear packs, giving you all unneeded purples?

    or character packs? dropping way more f2p heroes than p2p ones?

    shard shop exists because when you get 20+ lumi shards, it gets converted to sth useful, instead of sticking out like a sore thumb : D

    When you don't pay real money, nothing in the game is a "ripoff"
