True.

Except there are exceptions as the mount system was only introduced a few weeks ago into this game and has not reached steady state in game maturity. In fact what it seems like is a "not so well thought out" system being further corrected. In which case they need to provide a remediation path for players who invested gems to the mounts.

Otherwise it is a throw away investment for the person who spent a lot to get the top mount up and they are then left with no choice but to abandon the money already invested which is not wise for Tynon to do from both marketing and game trust perspective with the players. Bottom line, you don't screw your top customer and need to make it right.

I can work with this. I propose:

Mount Trade-in Window
- can only trade-in a mount of higher stars to a lower one
- can only trade-in a mount to one quality higher
- you must have purchased the new mount for it to show up in the trade-in window
- all xp is reset to zero upon trade-in

1-3 stars: lose 1 star level
4-6 stars: lose 2 star levels
7-9 stars: lose 3 star levels
10-12 stars: lose 4 star levels
13-15 stars: lose 5 star levels
