Guild Wars 2

I and many others have thousands of blade shards and hundreds of blue prints. The average player can create many back backs.

Before when cores were dropping they were dropping at a rate disproportionate to blade shards. Why let us create so many back pieces but then make it so you can only color a couple if you are lucky.

This stage in the game players have numerous level 80 characters and plenty of money and other materials. It seems not very well though out on your part ANET that even if you left drop rates pre bugged when they were dropping that the drop rate was anywhere close to proportional.

blade shards should have been tradeable. At least then I could give them to people who haven’t had a chance to play LA.

I think the idea is that the coloured blades are rare.
