Maybe you guys should read the whole note...

Edit: They compensate all your crystals with mp value, then if you had 16 or less give you the crystal and conduct 150mil silver

This should have been announced along with the crystal removal notice. The way it is now sounds very short sighted and anti-player. Not to mention it feels like they're figuring it out on the go and US, the players, will get the stick for their screw-up.

Edit: The third point was added later. Makes my first point even more.

What this means:

one: they will remove every life/vital crystal you have and compensate them silver depending on the type.

second: they will give you 16 life and 16 vital crystals (if you had at least 16 of each before).

third: they will deduct 150,000,000 silver for each crystal from the silver htey gave you in one.

Example calculation:

If this does not help you, tell me how many crystals you have of each (eg. 16 life fishing, 16 life cooking ...) and i will tell what you will get after they simplify them.
