If somebody has the manuscript recipe and is cranking out 8 to 12 manuscripts per day, paying two of them for 7 crystals might not seem so bad, depending on how often that quest comes up. If you don't have the manuscript recipe yet, yeah, it stinks.
Guess it's all a matter of perspective and/or if you've gotten that darn manuscript recipe yet, but I'd rather get 5 or 7 crystals than 3 or 4. It's all just pixels anyway.
