It would be great to not have to stop for shards, a pet maybe? I like to stop for big ticket items that I’ll destroy for the shards so can we have a pet or something to auto-collect? At the risk of making some people rage, perhaps a small contribution for this quality of life…?

This is a topic that has been discussed many many times. There are still plenty of threads open about this.
Basically, this is one of those issues where most of the community agrees. Especially for auto-transfer. For auto-pickup some people are “meh, it doesn’t bother me so much”. But when the best argument you have is “meh”, that’s not a good sign 
Initially, the reasoning the devs gave for it was that shards were items. However, MG came and there’s no way to trade them or gift them, so that fell apart.
I’m pretty sure we’ll eventually get this. There’s not much reason to have it remain the way it is now, especially now with the shard piñatas we got in the game.
As a sidenote, these types of discussions are best placed under the Feedback and Suggestions category. Although the devs usually pay attention to the whole forum, those will be more certain to be noticed by them. Also, it gives other people the chance to vote if they like your suggestion. (you can still edit your first post and change the category).

HI and thank you for pointing me to the right forum!
I do not know about current topics that are open but I’ll try to be more observant in the future.
I think this change is needed 100%. A pet who runs around and gets the shards would do the job, nice and easy. I dont mind about transferring them but picking em up when im on a roll kills my echo ha.

Search is your friend.
Well the forums are hardly littered with activity I dont think my lack of foresight here is going to cause an apocolypse.
Ive given up anyway, got bored halfway through the monoliths.
Thanks for the reply.
