Rux’s store is currently selling illegal items in some countries

Just a heads up, the devs need to remove the whole reduced price/for sale signs in rux’s store. The devs do realise doing stuff like that is illegal in certain countries right? For example the UK. Yo...

    @RockScorpion384THAT is an excellent point. The range given was 100-1000. These were NOT mentioned as discount prices in the stream. That makes the sale look artificial and deceptive. I had forgotten that. I felt less comfortable with the legal angle when it was just a sale going against a "should" practice, but making prices that were supposed to be the normal prices "sale" prices looks bad.

    Honestly, I didn't take the time to see what the prices were. I knew I didn't have enough to buy anything.

Commonly known as an ‘introductory price’. The caveat, in order for you to be able to sell something at an introductory price, you have to clearly state this is an introductory price to alert the customer that this price is not the usual and state a time frame in which this introductory price will stand before reverting to full price.

Not only is there nowhere stated these are introductory prices and thus will be charged at full prices eventually, but also they have no intention to charge the ‘real’ prices as they have already stated that rux’s store will range from 100-1000 stars so the acorn skin will never be sold for 1200.

As @TLEsquire said the whole ‘discounted price’ aspect is deceiving players into thinking they are getting a good deal, when in reality that is the normal price and the discount is only there to make players feel theyre saving money and feel rushed to buy it while its at this reduced price.
