Do you think buying skyshards with crowns is fair?

No opinion, will not use it, to me running around doing delves, skyshards and lore books is an way to chill out.
Understand if other will use it, might do it myself if an squeeze.

No

Of course it isn't.

Any game feature that costs real world money furthers wedges between players of differing socioeconomic backgrounds. It just is what it is. Whether or not one feels that is a good or bad thing for the gaming industry as a whole is a matter of personal values, but it certainly isn't fair. That said, life in general is not fair and there should be no expectation of fairness to begin with, IMO.

Why not? Step outside of videogambling and you will find that not only expectations of fairness are remarkably high in comparison, but also fulfilled to a significant degree. Let's consider any sport. Corruption? Yes. Doping? Sure. But is whatever company controls F1 selling pole position in broad daylight? Is Olympic Committee setting up stalls with steroids or erythro or what is currently popular substance right on stadia, only craking down on third party stalls in order to have that steroids business entirely for itself?

Well I suffered through finding all my skyshards on all my toons everyone else should have to also, that attitude isn't about fair it's (insert several adjective's here). Not a fair issue really it's just evolution of the game, things change. I'm fine with others being able to buy them it doesn't affect me in any way that I can see except putting more money into Zos's pockets which helps them improve the game more. Win - Win.

It is not unfair but unnecessary. I would rather have Account Cross Archievments and this for free.
