How is it a scam? It is what it is. If you donāt think itās worth it, donāt buy it.
The pack is not a new one. That said, it dates back to when the Woolly Mammoth was on par with VIPs.

I know that it dates back. Do not cite the deep magic to me witch I was there when it was written. A little narnia reference there. Also Ludia is notorious for scamming the player. Letting others on the forum see and know is a crime isnāt it? Especially the new players, letās just let them get ripped off. Youāre an ambassador, thereās clear bias here. Also nowadays woolly mammoth isnāt really on par with VIPs.
umā¦dont get it
Its because mammoth in Vip Packā¦
I dont think that is what a scam is

Showing whatās in the pack is no more a crime than the pack is a scam. The pack clearly shows its cost and clearly shows its contents. Thatās pretty much the opposite of a scam.
Itās up to the player to decide if the content is worth the cost. Personally, I donāt think it is worth it. Pre-nerf, sure, but not anymore. Other players may think differently. Clearly enough players do, since Ludia still offers the pack for purchase every once in a while.

I obviously donāt have much knowledge, but as per everything that Iāve read in the thread I think heās got a point, youāre just a bit taken aback or you want your point to gain priority, calm down for a bit, and see it from his point.

I understand your point and his pint as well. Not everyone is going to look at the pack though. Think if you went to buy the last thylacosmilus you need and you click. Suddenly you realise youāve spent 20,000 loyalty points on any random tournament legendary which you may have maxed. As soon as I get 10,000 I rush for the multi pack. Others might not and buy the 20,000. He comes off quite rudely when I call out a company famous for ripping off the player. He is again, an ambassador, which provides him a bias. Thatās why I kind of disregard his opinion. Am I wrong for letting people know that they could waste their in-game currency merely because Ludia swapped in the creature that is sub par to the level at which you thought you were getting.
There are a lot of things in this game that all players can āwasteā their money on but we donāt need a thread on each one. As said above, itās not a scam when you can clearly see what you get. Ludia isnāt making you buy anything.

Itās pretty offensive (and rude!) to accuse someone of bias just because you donāt agree with them, and no other evidence whatsoever to support your claim. Andy is an āambassadorā for no reason other than being an experienced player, that has regularly helped other players out, and followed the rules of the forum, that Ludia offered him that title when it became available. He has no association with the company other than being a player like the rest of us, it doesnāt come with anything, nor does he get anything from it. Other than feeling a responsibility to help players out moreā¦ and people accusing him of bias just because his posts have that label on them. A nice reward for taking the job, huh?
FYI - even if he was biased, to discount what he is saying solely on that is a common logical fallacy. Far too often used these days to avoid, rather than respond, to a point being made.

Iām failing to pick up how this is ludia ripping us off? Itās a pack offer thatās a choice to get or not.
If weād like to talk about how Ludia should add a āconfirmā button to all in game purchases, then Iād agree and sign the petition.

Lol thatās their own fault then, maybe players will be a bit more careful next time.
A scam is more like showing a thylocosmilus pack but upon opening you receive a woolly mammoth instead, this pack is pretty much 0 percent scam.

Iām not the only one who found this awful. 3 people here were clear about that. I fully understand what bias is thank you I study statistics. Also just because there are already instances of it does not mean we should just allow more. Ludia constantly overpriced things like here. We shouldnāt just allow more without complaint. Would you like more of these atrocious deals? Ludia will go through with it you know. I know I donāt because itās not worth it. Itās their fault if they donāt look? Alright you spend Ā£90 thinking itās Ā£9 Iād all your fault not Ludiaās for overpricing.
Why did you mark out resources

I donāt think itās a scam, but the price is debatable, as mammoth isnāt a VIP anymore. If your working towards Mammotherium and are short on DNA Iād say go for it

Itās not a scam though it just doesnt fit the definition of a scam, lots of people think that the earth is flat, doesnāt mean to say they are right.
Not a scam:
Woolly mammoth pack with a woolly mammoth in it
Scam:
A pack marked as a microposaur pack (exactly the same look as earth shattering events) but with only a chance of receiving microposaur
Now if your talking about the high cost of the woolly mammoth pack we could literally have thousands of topics covering all sorts of high cost in game purchases but again not a scam just a choice and these must be selling otherwise ludia would not continue to circulate some of these packs.

Scam - a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; swindle.
