Tynon said that they didn't want defensive capabilities to get out of control, but the new mounts have more and more HP. It doesn't seem to make sense to me, but hey.

The choice of changing to another mount isn't easy. You need to pay coins, but also lose experience. If you plan on getting another mount in the future after that mount you just bought and transfered to, this means the coins you spent on buying a mount will be lost forever (bad investment). Moreover, you get less experience in the end because you do multiple transfers (bad investment).

So buying a new mount is a bad investment considering that you'll eventually change to another mount. You would be better off getting directly to the last mount you want. The problem is, which is the last mount? There will always be new ones, which makes it seem like Tynon is forcing us to make bad investments.

Right now, I have a white bear. At the moment, I'd be better off with a dragon. But I know someday I'll get the chimera, so I'm not wasting experience and coins on a dragon. But once I get the chimera, a new mount will be out, making the chimera a bad investment.

This is exactly what happened to Herby. He bought the Windrunner and found out he had made a really bad investment with what seemed to be a good investment.

Yes, there will be other mounts in the future, and we'll have to decide when we want to make bad investments. I'm not a big fan of this system. We invest in heroes, build them up, and they all remain useful for the most part. But mounts, you just get rid of them once you get to the next one. At least if you could sell them.

One caveat to this ChickenWing and that is to use "gem" to make 100% transfers each time. This is one way Tynon can ensure people keep buying gems and spending more money on the game.

You need to spend 1 gem per 100 exp to transfer (above the 70% mark), 100% of all your experience. and for someone who may have over 5 stars at Dragon+ level, this is not cheap. It will run into thousands of gems to upgrade each time with 100% exp.

So every mount they come out with will require (it seems) double the coins and with additional accumulated experience, you will need to spend more gems to transfer them past 70% of the original experience. That means paying 1gem per 100 exp for the remaining 30% of your overall experience.

If you do not transfer with experience, then you will lose 30% exp every time. That is not a good thing to do and you will forever be staying at the same star rating. At some point however, it does not make economic sense to go above a certain star level (5 stars IMO is the sweet spot).
