I just got it from a raid in chest in vog a few days ago. Then the next day the update got annouced. I would feel cheated out of a shard, but then I got another vex.
Nice! Took me ages to get it maxed to 300 and now starting all over again and probably only 20% there urgh! Looking forward to seeing it hit atheon when it's maxed though (I don't have the expansion lol)
