Guild Wars 2

As I understand it, with the most recent update, spirit shards are to serve as the currency that skill points formally served as far as currency for vendors. All sources that formally gave skill points now either give hero points or spirit shards. This means that all sources that formally gave skill point scrolls now should give spirit shards, right? Well I just finished an entire PvP track, from 0-100%, which normally would yield at LEAST 15 skill point scrolls (this is figuring EXTREMELY low). I did not get a single spirit shard outside of the three awarded for the daily completion.

Is this working as intended, or a known bug? Thanks.

I’ve noticed the same thing in other areas. I’ve opened enough champ bags I should have picked up around 12-15 scrolls, but only got a single shard.

Either the drop rate was drastically reduced or it’s bugged, not sure which at this point.

I opened 104 bandit coin purses on Sunday…think it was Sunday. Last weekend anyway. Got 18 shards total. Which, does seem a bit low. Like Scribe, not sure if that’s intended or a bug at this time. I would not be surprised if they reduced the frequency of these drops though.

I don’t do a lot of the content outside of WvW or sPvP so I don’t really know too much about the drop rates outside of that. However, for MY experience, it was a 100% reduction in drop rates. While that’s highly unlikely to be the actual rate, it wouldn’t surprise me if for whatever reason the sPvP drop rate is only 10% of what it used to be. This is extremely frustrating, especially for me, as I am trying to build a legendary and this has dramatically increased the time necessary to build. Would love to get a red to confirm/deny that this is a bug.
