I admit, I’ve been to the Temple of Balthazar when it worked, and I have been able to purchase shards. The problem is that the prerequisite event chains often have the members halt for no reason and there is no way to reset the event chain to start over. In particular on our server (Dragonbrand) right now the southern contingent is stuck doing nothing and there’s absolutely nothing you can do to get them to start moving again. It seems like one of the prereq events is always broken in one fashion or another.
The problem with buying them from the fractal vendor is that we already have enough karma to do the completion – the primary issue is you can’t ever open the temple because it’s almost always bugged. add it to a second temple or fix the quest lines that let you open it. It’s ridiculous the way it is right now.
Considering that it’s ultra rare AT BEST to get the vendor open, even when we CAN get enough people there AND the event chains aren’t bugged, it would be fantastic if we had more than 1 vendor to purchase obsidian shards from. I cannot agree with this suggestion enough.
