Yeah that was a shame. It was quite OP to be sure, but why not do what they've done in the past and just take it off the store. At the very least you coulda refunded my points. I'm short 145ish points.
Maybe it's just me but I didn't think it wasn't OP at all. Yes, it got you a huge bonus for starting out a fresh toon. But sitting to med for 2 minutes every 5 kills (no mana boost) vs sitting to med for 8 minutes every 20 kills (with mana boost) (example numbers) isnt a deal breaker to me compared to running around with chloropast and 24 dmg shield at level 1 almost one-shooting mobs 3 levels above your own level. They never nerfed PL'ing (appreciate it) but they remove a +250 mana item. That's weird. At least that is my humble opinion.
