No one is calling for Mana Crystals to be removed, they're a good addition to the game. Many mana inclusive games have mana potions. It's just obvious that like with restoration scrolls and mana leaves, they need to be controlled, so that people don't have infinite mana or hp.

Mana crystals haven't always been used in such addictive proportions, and mages have coped. I've fought good mages in the past who haven't needed to resort to spamming their highest mp cost spells and gouging themselves on mana crystals to start the process over.

Infinite mana doesn't solve the problem of magic levels being useless, or resistances and damage not being scaled well, it's just another problem that should be rectified and not be defended by other problems. 'If problem a gets fixed i'll let problem b be fixed'. How about problems just be fixed?
