Because I don't use those kinds of skills.
Reason 2: I'd rather use my skillpoints for things I need. (Such as Warrior skills)
Ah, then just kill the enemies in the BF and gather enough money for the crystals if you want them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Money is no issue in this game now (not in the last versions). In earlier versions pickpocket was a skill to get stuff you could run out of - as ressources were not plentiful.
I still think, the high price for crystals was ok - and you could find them by killing/or placed on the ground.
I gather - another dishonest trick for weak souls - would be impossible to accept as well? The duplication trick you can use for money?

Graf Otto von Bismarck, speech in the Reichstag, 1888:
We are easily influenced—perhaps too easily—by love and kindness, but quite surely never by threats! We Germans fear God, and naught else in the world! It is this fear of God which makes us love and cherish peace. If in spite of this anybody breaks the peace, he will discover that ardent patriotism.... has today become the common property of the whole German nation
Couldn't resist, IronFist - I think your sig-quote is not complete <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> As far as my knowledge is about Bismarck => he would've taken pickpocket if it served his purposes to keep the balance in Europe <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> - as this Iron Chancellor was more a symbol for keeping balance and peace (in the limitations of his Imperialistic and Colonialistic century, of course)
Or, to put it into a more modern view today:
