Black Friday sale

I saw an add pop up in the game for me to purchase a black friday pack.  It shows a price of 100 USD and it's 90% off, now 9.99 USD.

It's for 3 1 sacred shards, some ancients, a bunch a gems, energy, silver and xp bonus.

So my question is, has this ever been sold at $100?  I don't ever recall seeing it for that price?  Isn't this illegal?  False advertisement?


Edit:  corrected number of sacred shards there were.

It's not that they have had to advertise it, more they based it on the value in which they consider the worth. So it's pretty obvious a sacred is 25 USD, 1k gems also 25, 5 ancients 10 usd energy roughly 400 gems so 10 and the boost is 5 so in reality it appears it was really 75. And silver comes with shards

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it said, "A value worth $100 for only $9.99".  But it doesn't say that.  It's an illegal marketing scheme to make it look like it is normally priced at $100 and they are giving you a deal.  Items are allowed to be considered on sale as long as the original price has been in effect for a substantial amount of time and available to the public.  This doesn't seem to fit that.

You're 100% right, but what do you expect from Plarium? You think they care about it? Nobody is going to sue them, so they are impunity.

I know it is illegal in the US and pretty sure it is illegal int he EU.  They really need to fire who ever is coming up with this and approving it.

I don't know how it exactly works, maybe you have to report such illegal actions to Consumer Protection Cooperation – CPC, than they're checking what's going on, and if they break the law, this organization sues company for illegal practice.

Yeah! Just easier to report them.

In some countries, this is not illegal, this is called marketing strategy.

Yeah, but they are distributing this in many countries where it's illegal, so they should to fit in this countries law.
