New Boutique price cuts. Unfair or sane?

What does everyone think about the new prices tacked onto the mounts?

I personally am torn. The Silver Mane, which I've wanted for soooo long, has finally become an obtainable goal. However, how does this impact everyone else who has spent 45, even 50g on a mount in the past? That value is gone for them forever. Take my Kirin, for example. I recently have thought about selling him.. but now that he has become so cheap, I will never be able to get back even half of the value I put into him. Is this fair to those who've devotedly given up money to PWI?

Although very crafty with the way they handle sales and marketing techinques, is it really right to turn around and do that to your customers?

Wattcha think? Good or bad. :]

    It's fair for new players and a broomstick in the **** for older players who worked or paid for their ****.

    sane, with the new prices, the mounts are back to thier original coin price, since its now approx 200k per gold, the raptor and kirin both go for 15 gold now and 200kx15gold=3mil (approx) and also, with the semi-new horses they are 20gold, multiply that by 200k per gold, thats 4mil or approximatly 40gold however since they are permanent and unless they start at 10m/s then they should be priced at either 15gold or less depending on the lvl required.

    It does suck a bit for older players who paid full price (and more than a bit for those who got their horse mounts through hard work) but personally I'm not bothered by it. It happens in almost every MMO at some point.

    Besides the older mounts need to be reduced in price to be competitive with new mounts like the Cloudfish, Ninetales, Gold Lion, Panda, and Lucky Pig!
