Card Design ChampionIt really depends on how much you make in rl. If you make $40 bucks an hour, you don't have to save up a month worth of gold to buy Naxx.
Just sneeze at it.
1 pack is 100 gold not 150 so I think you meant $8.75.
I think it just depends on how much gold you have, and how efficiently you make it. *Good at arena and such* And to some players that have most of the cards and are sitting on 5k+ gold, might as well just buy it with gold.
I think they did a great job, and it's very reasonable on both the gold and money value. So whichever works best for the player.
I don't understand why people have such a hard time coughing up $20 for a game they probably spend hours playing every single week. It's the same price as a movie ticket with popcorn.
Conspiracy theory ahoy!!
After I loudly and publicly announced my intention to buy Naxx with cash rather than gold, I dumped most of my meager gold reserves and bought 11 packs.
Surprise, surprise .. two legendaries! Tirion Fordring and Al'Akir the Windlord! My first two usable ones, at that.
See? Blizzard has it all planned out for us :P
I Designed A Card This Week
12 wins and 60 G quest per day is too much time for you?
12 wins, assuming 50% win rate, is 24 games. At 10 minutes a game (some games may go faster, most won't), that's 240 minutes, or 4 hours. Most people don't play 4 hours of Hearthstone per day.
Your estimation is absurd. People farm gold with Murlock in casual, not Control Warrior or Priest in constructed. Games are only around 5 mins and 75-80% win rate can be achieved. For me 12 wins only take 1-1.5 hour at most.
You can't just wave your hands and say "75-80% win rate can be achieved". Every winner has a matching loser, if you're winning 75-80% some poor sucker is winning 20-25%.

Card Design ChampionWell, maybe he's not quite as good at the game. It may take him that long to get 12 wins.
If you're playing specifically to farm gold. When I play, it's either arena or ranked... and aside from that, even casual has MMR. Unless you intentionally tank your rating, you'll eventually hit 50% win rate.
because not everyone has credit cards here. if i had one i would have bought in game cash already but im good with just doing dailies and 100 gold per day.
75-80% win rate in casual dude, not in ranked. It's so freaking easy I'm not even joking. I played casual today to brush up my Zoo and went 13-5 (72%) after 1.5 hour.
What, are you saying that Casual doesn't have a winner and a loser? Only Ranked does?
Casual or ranked - if you win, someone else loses. It's nice that you went 13-5 today. That means 13 people lost. Some of them probably went 5-13 today trying to finish a "Win 5 with x or y" quest.
Gratefully I have made it to the point in life where my time is worth more than the time it would take to farm up that gold vs spending $20.
With the countless hours I saved myself by spending money I will now be able to use that time earning way more money than the $20 I initially spent.
If I had the time (rather if the time was worth it) then I would never spend money on this game, but then I see the $$$.
For some, spending the money makes them time *Cough*money*Cough*, kinda odd isn't it.
I actually feel bad for anyone playing this game that much without being absolutely top tier.
That is way too much time! You realize you could be making money and then spending that money to save time playing Hearthstone?
Even at 10 minutes a win you are baking away 8% of your day on Hearthstone. If you go 50% WR you use 16% of your day on Hearthstone. Most people have stuff to do with that 33-45% of their day they aren't sleeping/working.
And if you're on summer break from school, it's even more of a shame that you're not making moneys.
Time helps pay bills if you use it to earn money ;)
Is it really a surprise that they make it so that you get more cards if you pay money? Obviously, if you pay, you are gonna have more content in a F2P...
I'll still use in-game currency, since gold doesn't pay bills.
It really comes down to what you ENJOY doing. If you enjoy grinding gold in "casual" or you are good at arena and really enjoy it then it makes a ton of sense to enjoy playing the game to earn the money to play another part of the game. If, like I suspect, a lot of people are limited on their play time but have a good job; then it makes way more sense to drop a couple of dollars to get to the part you enjoy right away.
To anyone who is "grinding" gold and getting no enjoyment out of it, I would serioulsy urge you to revaulate. The "gold to RL equiv money per hour" is insnaely low. I love arena but haven't gotten good enough at it yet to "go infinite" and there have been times when I didn't have the gold for another run and I was playing ranked to "grind" gold and not enjoying it. I realized it was stupid to grind for the next hour or two for the gold to do the thing I really wanted to do when I could spend less than I spend on coffee in the morning and get to it right away.
I see the allure of trying to accomplishment everyting without putting any money in and I solute you, that is a huge accomplishment. But for most people, it really makes sense to drop 20 bucks on an entire expansion vs "grinding" a game version they don't really enjoy for 50 hours. Also the benefit contributing money to this great game and hopefully seeing faster/more content in the future! I'm still very new to HS and haven't saved up any gold yet but I love the fact there are so many options in this game. People who prefer to pay $$ or gold should be very happy with the pricing, blizz did a great job.
I will spend the gold that I gathered for this even though I could by more packs with the gold. Basically I have all the cards I need so no need to keep my gold for packs!
From the very moment Naxx was announced I decided I would spend real money on it if the price was reasonable. I find this price to be reasonable, so real money it is. I have no problems paying for a product that I enjoy playing so much. Hell, I used to spend 13 dollars a month on WoW and for the last year or so of my subscription I wasn't getting nearly as much joy as I do from Hearthstone.
