It was a temporary cheap fix to the issue where if you bought 500 crystals when you had 900 in your inventory, the extra 400 would get lost, so instead of fixing it properly they just made it less likely that you could hit the cap :P

Again, here's hoping they forget about undoing the inventory slots increase like they did this one...

From Oct 15t 2010 update notes:
- The maximum numbers of crystals and shards each character and retainer is capable of carrying have been changed to 9999.
* This is a temporary measure and crystals or shards obtained in excess of this amount will automatically be discarded. The system is undergoing a fundamental redesign and adjustments will continue to be made.
