Maybe that's how it should have been done all along. Now there's an actual good reason to buy AC bundles instead of waiting till the CI is revealed. I admit the thought never crossed my mind before that that could be a good idea, but once I heard it it made 100% perfect sense.
Now if only Gaia could make more good decisions like this (for example, STOP RELEASING GOLD GENERATORS), there would be more good feedback on the site.
To summarize: Reducing prices = GOOD. Inflation = BAD. It's not that difficult a concept.
