I am having real self control problems with the cavalier crystals where I am spending way above my means. Is it possible for us to "ban ourselves" (for a set time of our choosing) from being able to purchase them? The same way players can do this in online poker games? The cav crystal is really really hurting me.

That option will not happen in a game like this. Is really unnecessary
Kabam is this possible? I'm really hurting my finances right now. It's really bad.
Bit of a side line, but I think it's a valuable discussion, so give me a second to type.
It's the Mid Brain/Frontal Lobe Cortex relationship that is affected. For example, if you eat something, that gives a Dopamine release. For an Addict, the Dopamine release for their DoC is 2-300 times greater. The brain replaces that in the natural order of priorities, above things like food, sleep, comfort, all the basic needs. So it quite literally renders someone incapable of choosing otherwise in active Addiction.
Which is why, if it is in fact Addiction, consequences don't have an effect. They have a disorder that replaces needs with the Dopamine they get from the rush.
The only thing I've seen work in my own experience is some type of 12-Step Program.
However Kabam is a corporation looking to make a profit. They aren’t going to want to give us easy means to stop spending. So you’re likely going to need to find a way outside of the game for help.
