A mythic weapon is discontinued and no longer drops in crates. An arcane weapon however is not.

Increasing the drop rate of the shard would then make it more common then looting any other arcane weapon. Subsequently, the arcane staff, hooks, and maul would raise in value due to them being looted less often.

The rate is fine right now, I think you're just trying to buy the shard as cheap as you can get it. How do I know? You were bidding on arcane shard that I was and actually outbid me at one point (although by that time, the shard was already sold to me).
