No this is not against the ToS.
Unfortunately, you cannot change shards.

Yes, unfortunately I believe CG’s opinion on this is “git gud.” A lot of mobile games do let you change servers, but I don’t see how this one would be able to implement it fairly.
Honestly, I have never seen a game that would let you change shards. Most groupings are to have people play together who started at the same time. Any development game in this style never lets you move due to the advantage you could have.
The few times I have heard of this, it has been a one time thing to move people out of a shard that was established during BETA, because some players had more time in game due to being there when the game was in a closed system.
