All these 'RAWR PLAY MY WAY' threads do is remind me why I'm content to pug/post my completes instead of being in a top end raiding guild.

And for reference, I've seen Sword of Shadow shards/seals and scrolls go to all sorts of people. Its not unreasonable that people who wouldn't care to grind/farm/buy/mooch temporary augment crystals would have ESOS.
