So, as we all noticed by now, the most recent update features Shards in the regular Shipments section. Obviously at a steep Crystals cost.
Simultaneously my drop rates farming those exact same Shards have dropped from 2-3 per day through 6 missions to 0, zero, nada.
Coincidence, bug, or am I just seeing ghosts here?

Odd, as it was a big complaint by many that the drops were too low as it was. So they made it worse.
The lesson here is, EA needs to lower prices...
If they don't lower prices, both...
Additionally, if you go to reddit of SWGOH, the devs there already indicated specifically that there are no plans to change drop rates of shards as of now.
5 put of 6!! What the world I guess some of us are just lucky
They just added a way to purchase shards with crystals, I got unlucky with shard farming today, this can not be a coincidence.
Seems like a fallacy to me. Although on a note to buying shards. As for cost, 80x50 to unlock a typical 4* = 4000 crystals = around £20. Which seems about in line with the bundles they have on sale for new players given that you have more options, and considering you can still farm them from other means in the meantime.
I don't see them as all that bad, you don't really have to grab them but the option is there to throw an extra £1 at them to speed it up.
And thanks for the responses everyone, I'll let you know when I get my first shard from the hard modes since the update.
May the RNG be with you all, for it is strong in this one!
Still not that amazing if I see other people getting EIGHTY (!!!) percent, just wow.
I've noticed this pattern on both hard battles and cantina.
it's a little worse than the past 2-3 days, but starting on monday this week, i've had less shards drop than usual. it's not a large sample size so i can't really make any conclusions yet
My ally points (+20) are accumulated only when I run through new missions or when I farm for gear.
I'd agree with that. Currently farming to 4* Luke. Got to 25 shards very quickly. Currently at 29 and the shards since 25 have taken forever.
So, spend your crystals wisely...(or don't lol)
1 refill to get 1 white material
One 2 star and one 1 star from the 20 latest Chronium packs bought.
This game started off great but the fun factor is quickly diminishing. Hoping my luck will "turn around" but not holding my breath.
I know the developers has to make money and has to have the right balance not letting too much drop but why continue spending money when nothing drops? Or continue playing for that matter?
I'll cut down on spending and if shards continue dropping at a rate of 1 or less per refil I'm done all together.
