Also, depending on how good you are at the AH, it's much quicker to make 40-50k to dish out for a mount vs farming for a week.

Ugh I had 5 skyshards since I've rep grinded Golden Lotus to exalted, never expecting to touch them again since its pretty big pain to get them. However, recently I have turned to farming them again, in about 2-3 hrs yesterday and 4-5 hrs today, I have gained 4 skyshards. I think people shouldn't look at the amount of time ppl spend since some people can kill (example) 50 mobs in a span of 10 minutes while others can kill 100-200 mobs in 10 minutes which can make it look different in terms of skyshard drops. In the end, RNG is rng but I try to make the best out of it. I used potion of luck everytime I farmed and got a decent amount of profit while farming for these shards.
It wasn't as bad as I thought, however getting 1 shard in 10 minutes of farming and another in 2-3 hrs of farming... kind of makes you go wtffff.
If someone would have sold alani for 40-50k, I would have probably taken that offer over farming my 5 additional shards. However, now that I have tried farming for it, I might as well finish it off
those shards drops like 1 in 1-2hour farming... it might takes 3hour also... but they actually are pretty easy to get...
I bought one for 38k, well worth it. I also got banned for it so watch out. the appeal got me unbanned but still man, gross.
6 toons exalted with GL (only dailies).
My main did dailies for 3 months more, just to get missing quests for an achie.
Also, helped a friend for couple of weeks to get quests for his achievements.
4 shards. Sitting in my bank since Sept 2012.

Yeah, I've done plenty of grinds "in my day," since I've played this game since Classic. Really not interested in doing that anymore, so I plan to buy an Alani kill whenever I see one pop up, since the gold really isn't an issue.
I was able to pick one up the other day for 20k. Haven't seen a shard this whole time of doing these dailies on multiple toons for awhile now.
I was going to pay a friend who was mass farming shards for a few other friends, but she quit playing due to real life issues. I've been farmin on and off myself, since I had 2 shards since the beginning of Mists, but it's slow going.

"Hero", is what they've all been saying. This world, it isn't worth the saving."
On my server alani is at least 110-120k, so no wouldn't buy it this price (especially with blizzard randomly baning people for massive gold transfert between people even when legit).
Got 3 skyshard since MoP launch (and I have 6 90 chars so far). Tried the mass aoe farm with my destro lock, burned arround 15 lucky potion (20minutes each, so ~5hours farming) and not a single shard dropped. RNG killed my motivation for this one.
I farmed it on my destro lock and got all 10 shards in just under six hours.
I may have been lucky but the numbers are there - I'm doing 150k dps constantly on these mobs, at 315k life each that's over 1700 mobs an hour with no downtime, I was probably at least 1500 so that's 9000 mobs killed to get the shards which I don't think is that far out of line
its ugly mounts so i wont pay for it
however i have 5 shards so ill find some time at the end of the expension to get the last 5

If I saw someone selling it now I'd probably buy it, probably won't have another 10 for a while.

Sold one for 40k, have another one to sell, not sure if i'll sell it now or in 5.4 when it will be harder to farm skyshards.
I got 4 crystals relatively quickly... last year and on my alt, of course. Haven't seen a single one since then on any of my toons during all the countless times I've done dailies or killed mobs for other reasons in the Vale...
I know someone that spent roughly two months farming these crystals and he sold 5 of the mounts for 30-60k each
No I wouldn't nor do I know anyone that would.
No thanks, no needed for me. Already have 23 Shards, just not really wanna kill it. Don't like it, nor do I want to sell it. I might kill is before next expansion.
