Ummm

Health shares were removed as they lowered overall party health. This moved the game away from "teamwork keeps the team alive, and bad teamwork tears the team apart" and more into "everyone is self-sustainable. If you can't help yourself you can't help the team, but you won't hurt the team either".

Mineral deposits were removed as it turned the arcade into a pure ice/poison themed nightmare we call the "Bizzard of '13".

So, there's your answers. Are there other ways to go about these? Yes, but Three Rings went this way and it's definitely better now than before.

Did you honestly think mineral deposits were a valid way to make money anyways? We're talking around 5-10 extra crowns per floor if you solo.

You get a free revive every floor now, and missions/treasure boxes give occasional sparks of life as well. Before that, if someone couldn't give up a chunk of their health to carry you, you had no choice but to fork up scaling revive costs (or in many cases, beg for them). Now it's free.

I kinda hated mineral deposits. Most people just used them for some extra crowns, so you might as well just add a few crowns at the slot machine at the end of the level and randomize the levels.

However... *puts on tin foil hat*... I'm 95% sure that a few jerk-ish guilds/knights were purposefully throwing purple crystals into the strata before Vanaduke. The vast majority of Vanaduke gates always had a dark matter related strata, and it was always a PAAAAAAAIN. For those who didn't pay attention...
Purple + Red = Fiends
Purple + Yellow = Undead
Purple + Blue = Shock
Purple + Green = Poison
All of which are my least favorite stratas of the game.

The only time I was happy for the gate construction system was Project uJelly
