Is the purpose of blade shards solely to exchange for supply boxes, or is it intended to trade-in for something else later?
Is the “mysterious merchant” still in the plan of future release?

I’m a scholar, thus I don’t take stance.

I’m not sure a bunch of greens was worth hanging on to stacks of the crap.

The blades are for the back piece and extra bits can be traded off. It feels like the devs have been second guessing themselves about what they should be used for. If the merchants had appeared right after end of season 1 it would have been quite reasonable. Sure, a single shard is only worth a copper or two, but it’s nice to not just be deleting it. Having them clutter up my inventory for 2 months to get about 4 silver per stack wasn’t worth it though.

The bladed backpieces remain the cheapest way to get ascended stats of your choice for a back item (unless you run fractals frequently, in which case you have other options). I doubt ANet is going to offer other uses any time soon.
