Going to have to agree with Jah on this one.. lets simplify what CIP is doing with an example:

Joe goes to Burger Store every day.. 5 years ago he loved it, the burgers were amazing.. but after five years Joe starts to realize the burgers dont taste as good anymore (and the community joe lives in realizes this too). Burger Store needs some idea (that does not include making their burgers taste any better) to boost sales! So what does Burger Store do?? They run a special! Buy 6 burgers and get a free pimp ass watch! Everyone wanted the pimp ass watch so they bought the 6 shitty ass burgers just so they could have it.

I've see posts about this before.. and it really isn't a great business strategy.. Fucking fix the burgers (the shitty ass condition of tibia right now) instead of having revenue increases caused by customers wanting a pimp ass watch (mounts).

It will mask the true condition of your company. But, there will not always be a demand for new mounts. It will lose its glamour and people will eventurally stop giving into this. It is a short term solution that I could very likely see CIP using as a long term cure. What will happen when the community fails to fall for the new mount offer if no changes are made to the current condition of tibia? CIP will be fucked because they will be in a state that is too damaged to be fixed. I could have elaborated more or came up with a better example. But im sure you understand the point.
