Please give us an option to make shards autopickup + send to forge; treat it like gold. I understand it's like this for newer players - to give them an early sense of progression and help them acclimate to crafting, however, new players are only new for a little bit. Please, give us a quest (maybe completing first mono, or campaign boss) that changes it to auto pickup + send to forge. Currently, I have to stop multiple times during a map, open my inventory, and click "transfer materials". It's really jarring and incredibly tedious to have to do this while mapping, sometimes in combat, to pickup an item. The shards are also a huge amount of screen clutter, and it can easily get you killed clicking on them when you're trying to move. Please... please... PLEASE give us an option to treat it like gold and auto-pickup. They are simply too numerous to keep treating like something you have to click on to pickup(note: the amount there are is a good thing!!!!!)

If you want to keep a few click to pickup, such as glyph of despair, glyph of insight, rune of creation, or rune of ascendance(since they are more rare and pretty nice drops!), that's ok.. but the vast majority of shards/glyphs need to just be treated exactly as gold, auto picked up and sent directly to forge without taking inventory space.

All the other changes so far have been really good, imo, I'm having more fun every single patch, but this is something I've wanted since the first time I played and have asked for in the past, we've reached a point where the tediousness of having to constantly open inventory to send shards to forge is actually impacting the gameplay with how often shards drop now.

I’ll bring this up with the design team tomorrow. We know we need to make some changes here. Having to transfer them when I’m playing on Gamepad is especially annoying. Haha
