Be honest with the community and tell us the real reason you are getting rid of shards and not Glimmer is because shards don't have a functional limit. Nobody is really going to hit the shard limit without exploits, but players are regularly smashing their heads into the 5 foot ceiling of the 250k Glimmer cap.
If you wanted to help the community, Glimmer would get the axe, but you don't.
You want to control the community and the "economy". I put economy in quotes because players cannot sell nor trade with each other, so the only economy is the one between the player and the game.
Does Glimmer go to the Postmaster when you hit the cap? No, you're just SoL.
So you keep the currency that has a pissant sized cap that will force players to quickly spend it before they hit the cap because they're anxiety will tell them they are wasting all the extra Glimmer once they hit the cap. This means extra trips to the tower and more opportunities for players to run past the Eververse store front where they might spend actual money.
It is genuinely funny that you guys think this is clever, but the community has already figured out that everything you do is in service to the Eververse store. You're not fooling anyone.
Guess I'll spend all my shards on Raid Banners and take a picture of it. Maybe I'll get Art of the Week or whatever the hell.
