Couldn't handle the trueth about Soul Shards?

The recent revelation that Soul Shard can be created from Combat Test Dummies in major cities only serves to reveal the absurdity that the whole Soul Shard system has become. At this point the only thing that Soul Shards represent is a waisted bag spot (along with ammo for hunters).

Now I know that they have said that they might work on "improvements" to the Soul Shard system in the future but, isn't the ultimate and most expedient improvement the dissolution of the failed Soul Shard mechanic?

Shards aren't going anywhere. They are part of the warlock class. Campaigning to have them removed is like asking for shamans to lose totems or warriors to lose stances.

We do have a plan to make shards much more interesting. It was too ambitious to be able to fit into 3.1.
