Alright, so...Shards. These legendary cards some players crave to gain so insistently. The cards which make players spend long hours on Arena, farming. Gaining particular shards sometimes seems to take like... forever. I just have got the idea. What if you were able to gain the shard you want [at special spin, of course] at particular kind of Arena only? For example:
Bronze Arena: Shard of Gratitude [This is the easiest one to win in my personal opinion]
Silver Arena: Shard of Void
Gold Arena: Shard of Serendipity
Platinum Arena: Shard of Readiness/Sacriface [These can be pain in ass when it comes to farm for them, cannot they?]

Of course, it would decrease win ration few shards which are easy ones to win, but increase win ratio of other ones.
What do you think about this idea :)?
Vote and speak up your personal opinions and ideas, Elementals :D~!

It's a good idea but it would unbalance the pvp a bit too much. For example right now I have one SoSac and am hoping to get another soon, yet I only have three shards. It took me a good few days of grinding to even get these three cards and I would have no hope of grinding platinum until I have a much MUCH bigger upped pool so I would not be able to have that SoSac, or any at all under your regime until I was much higher, giving more advanced players a HUGE advantage over me for being able to play certain decks. Admittedly they have a big advantage over me already as I won't be able to pull all the decks they have out, but at least I can actually POTENTIALLY pull it out, unlike with your idea which would stop me for playing certain decks.

Hm...what about just changing win chance of the shard at various Arena kinds? For example at Bronze you'd have 10% of winning chance of SoSac, but 70% of winning Sog for example [only when comes to winning shards]. At Platinum: 60% of SoR, 20% of SoV? [These are just examples.]

sorry i don't speek good english but i try  ;)
it's not a god idea for me
1. more shard are komming with next update (12 element-12 shard)
2. a special spin in platinum is more difficult als 1 in bronze (especialy for newbie)
maybe create 2 different special spin 1 for weapon 1 for shard and if you get a special spin you have the choice witch spin you will make

That's a far more plausible idea but I still think having it random is better.

@ siri; shards are MUCH harder to get and so everyone would choose that. Nice idea though.

Hmm...this suggestion would also mean that certain Shards won from Platinum and Gold League would be won only upgraded, making it significantly more difficult to get them unupped. 

Also, while this does increase the chances of winning a particular Shard, it increases the chances of winning non-Shard rares from spins currently to the point that you're about 1/3 as likely to win a Shard from any Arena spin (and this is with the chance to spin 2 Shards from a particular Arena).  Thus, this might induce farming rage.  Changing the percentages would just make this more infuriating, I would imagine.

Dunno, I find the Shard situation fine as is.
