Game starts well with plenty of advance shards but by mid game, the shards dry up and if lady luck was not on your side, you could be in for a very hard time. The rewards for the 3 day events that cycle are lack luster to say it nicely. Game has been out for three months and they've only done one big event. Simply not enough game modes to keep you entertained and the game simply becomes a grind for gear. In short, play for 2-4 weeks then move on.
