You can see that the rest of the text box is slightly transparent but around the text "Crystalline Shard" there is a black square around it. This is a bad PS attempt.

Seems like it's even a secret to Anet! Now... why would a crafting material exist that isn't on the crafting material storage's list?

That's some pretty good PS; had me fooled, but then again who would buy crafting material that has no apparent use or function.

Oh wait someone bid on it already... well then besides that guy.

why doesn't some one buy it?

I mean you could say you have 510k even if you don't and it would at least force the seller out into the open and he would have to show you the item.

If it turned out to be real, you may get some bad feedback >.>

That was a pretty lackluster photoshop. should have at least blurred the transition areas.

Hmm, I whispered him to trade a stack of my Mythril Ingots for his crystalline shard, he didn't respond, so I concluded he doesn't have the item.

On the tooltip on his inventory the word 'Crystalline' itself looks a bit off. And look at the bottom of the 'y' in it when it's on the ground.

Fake. Look at the inverted shadows...
Or maybe it doesn't shows shadows while using english language, no idea.

Yeah I think everyone can see it's a PS job but why are people going to all these lengths to prove it with their amateur PS skills?

If you wanna easy to spot giveaway without doing 1600% zoom and comparing shadows - just look above the 'R' in shard. Woot, way to cut and paste.

So will this guy get banned from the auctions or just receive bad feedback?

Dunno what the actual policy is but I don't think he deserves a ban. It's not exactly as bad as fake bidding. God knows who'd wanna bid 500k on that, he probably got a guildie to do it.

I'm sure that most of you know that All crafting material Storage space is available via your Vault Box. (if you purchased it from the Xunlai Agent).

If you review all the Materials listing in your Vault Box, you will discover that there is no storage space for a Crystalline Shard. It does not exist, based on current game features, as a rare crafting item.
