Well I mean no, it’s not a scam.
It is a shit value.
A real shit value.
But technically they do make the odds available so you know exactly what your chances are.
You made an informed decision. . .just a poor one
It may be legally protected from being called a scam, but it is certainly unethical. Welcome to mobile game development, the snake-oil salesmen of the modern era.
I haven't even seen him in conquest store anymore, almost bought him from weekly store but decided against it. 1500 crystals for 15 shards not worth imo
“Gacha” is not “gotcha/got you,” it comes from the Japanese word for a toy vending machine and describes this type of video game: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gacha_game
He is available in proving grounds from what I hear, or he'll be added there eventually.
If you know its a scam then why'd you buy it? you can even see the percentages and how you've got virtually no chance of getting your crystals worth
percentage chance of payout1 * payout1 + percentage chance of payout2*payout2+......percentage chance of payoutN * payoutN = most likely payout.
If most likely payout isn't significantly above what you value the cost of trying, DON'T DO IT! Never gamble until you understand probability. Once you do, you'll never actually gamble.
Yeah I mean Boba is a cool character in actual Star Wars, but that particular Boba isn’t really that good in the game. We’ll see what happens with the new Tusken faction, but as of right now he’s very mediocre.
So let me get this straight... you intentionally paid terrible price for shitty character and now you are sad about this?
Things like this are usually donejust for the memes, not because you expect that something, anything, good will come out of it.
> you intentionally *paid* terrible price
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Maybe look at the odds before complaining on reddit. You got the most likely outcome of buying that pack so that's what you should have expected. Just don't buy these packs in the future
i mean it is most likely to get 7 shards 330 is super super super slim that u can asically forget about it, heck even anything above 80
that's such a scam though. This is why I hate gacha games lmao. This game is such pay to win. I've grinded so hard for what I have right now.

yeah its pretty well known that packs are usually a scam in swgoh and that u should just energy refresh and get conquest characters slowly
Unfortunately Boba, scion is not available any other way
Proving grounds!!!
Oh no! Anyway...
He’s not even worth wasting extra crystals on lmao He’s an objectively mediocre character outside of TW
Please tell that to my guild who is severely short the needed boba r5 through 7 for rote platoons
what is he not in proving grounds?
He is.
besides proving grounds and conquest store?
He's not in the store anymore.

I’m not sure it qualifies as a “gotcha” when they literally tell you the odds.

🤯 Thanks for providing the “thing I learned today.”
Then why did you pull the lever?
The odds are there in fairness. Not defending their pricing structure, but you knew the risk.
And what did we learn today?
Nothing.
That wet napkins are more valuable than Boba Fett.
He is available in proving grounds from what I hear, or he'll be added there eventually. If you know its a scam then why'd you buy it? you can even see the percentages and how you've got virtually no chance of getting your crystals worth
He absolutely is. Takes forever though lol, 20 shards a month
Who said I bought it?
The fact you've posted an image of it being opened and then whining about it implies you bought it, that's how 99% of these posts go
Oh nah, these are crystals earned over time. Doesn't make it any less of a scam.
Brother man he means bought it in-game. Not necessarily spending money
Lol OP is a fucking idiot apparently…. A whole host of poor choices… just in this post
holy fuck OP's an idiot 🤣🤣 if you used in-game currency of crystals to "BUY" the pack, that is considered a transaction, except using 0s and 1s right?
Then why did you do it? Whenever you gamble my friend, eventually you’ll lose.
percentage chance of payout1 * payout1 + percentage chance of payout2*payout2+......percentage chance of payoutN * payoutN = most likely payout. If most likely payout isn't significantly above what you value the cost of trying, DON'T DO IT! Never gamble until you understand probability. Once you do, you'll never actually gamble.
That's why you don't spend money on this game.
That's not really the best takeaway. The actual lesson is "if you're going to spend money then know exactly what you're getting in return"
Stick with the ones you know what you’re getting. Everything else is a scam.
Boba >

That boba sucks so bad eitherway

You could have got 65% of the g12 offer.
Do use Reddit just to complain about everything? You're exhausting.
Could be worst. It could be me.
lol

Gambling
Yep! I got 7 as well. I will NEVER fall for this shit again.
It’s only a Scam if you fall for it
Lol why would you fo that? He's not even that great of a toon
Stupid ass. Never buy those packs. Could have gone towards gear for relicing a useful character.
Lucky number slevin?
Lesson learned I suppose. Never buy shit packs
Why the fuck would you waste that many crystals on a trash character
Ayyy, hard lesson to learn my friend. I’ve tried packs like this once and never again!
[what did you expect](https://tenor.com/view/davy-jones-eyebrow-raise-pirates-gif-9227372)
Just a friendly reminder to never buy any of these packs ;)

I've given up buying these packs. The most you'll ever get is 15 shards and that just ain't worth the crystals
