I was thinking about farming shadowstone fragments and noticed that they work differently than in the previous maps:

• You don't get any from mirror chests
• You don't get any from harvesting nodes with the resourcefulness mastery
• You can't pick them as an option in the hero's choice chest that they just added to the new meta
• There's no associated wallet currency
• You get two for completing any event (somewhat similar to the 5-25 currency you get in the other maps)

Has anyone found an efficient way to farm them? It seems like Anet intends them to be much slower to get than previously. The rewards cost similar amounts as in previous maps though.

I don't think that the WvW/PvP reward tracks have been updated so you can't get any of the skins or materials from that either.

Do you feel like this is intended by Anet to make the everything take longer to farm and make players spend more time in the new map? Or is it another series of oversights? I'm not sure what's intended or not, but it feels like at least Resourcefulness should work considering the description.
