I'm at about 5300 right now. Been saving up since MSoG. I'm hoping to have about 6000 when the new expansion comes. I would probably already be there, but I went on an arena binge a few weeks ago. I got a pack worth 800 dust from it, though, so it was gold well spent.
I opened 60 packs when MSoG was released, and I feel like it was just the right amount. So after JtUG, I'll start saving again for another 60 packs on the next expansion release.
What makes you feel it was the right amount? Just asking.
I currently have 2,5K gold, hoping to have 3K when expac arrives. I usually open between 100-150 packs between preorder, a bundle and gold. However last time i opened 160 packs and i somehow got the feeling that it was too much, like i ended up with more dust than i expected so i concluded i overdid it with packs and should have just used my dust reserve to craft some stuff instead of opening so many packs.
This expac im aiming to open around 100 packs (still deciding about it though), less than last time, but your reasoning got my attention bc i am in a similar situation, hence my question.
Why did I feel 60 packs was the right amount?
I opened 4 legendaries, and then aggressively dusted my duplicates/ goldens/ useless cards to craft 2 more legendaries and some epics.
It was right for me, personally, because I didn't feel compelled to acquire every card in the set. I wasn't even worried about having all the competitive cards (I still don't have Patches or Aya, but I could have certainly crafted them if I wanted to). I had 1 or 2 decks in mind that I wanted to play, and I crafted towards that (specifically, Reno decks). It didn't matter to me at the time if they were going to be top-tier decks, it's just what I enjoy playing. So, with that said, this approach may not be reasonable for people who want ALL the most competitive cards in the meta.
Still though, I think that 100 packs will get just about anyone to where they want to be. If you think that 160 packs was overdoing it and that you had an excess amount of dust after MSoG, then maybe scale it back to 100 and see what that gets you. Also, remember that we will be getting dust from HoF cards, so that will definitely help fill out your collection after the Year of the Mammoth rotation.
1000 in a week is insane - you either need back to back strong arena runs, equivalent of a day job in constructed play, or an army of stooges donating you 80g quests. By getting to R5 and with a bit of casual play each day I'll normally get around 500 in a week, but every 100 after that represents a bit of luck or a lot of extra gaming.
I upvoted your post BTW - 1000g is perfectly possible, just needs a lot of work or luck
I'm pretty happy. Atm I have 9.2k, but I was a little anxious about being able to open 100 Un'Goro packs on release (that was my goal, because of the pity timer too). Now that I still have 2 packs from brawls, this weeks brawl probably too, and just got the news about the daily login rewards I'm definitely set.
2930 gold and only 335 dust. Not sure if I will buy any Un'goro with real money as I get free dust from the cards going to the Hall of Fame, as well as Un'goro looking really depressing. I'll probably spent 3200 gold on packs open 35 of them and use the 7k free dust to make whatever I need as I doubt anything is going to beat Jade/Pirates, sure there are anti-pirate cards, but I doubt people will run them enough to make pirates a tier 2 deck.
Got up to 3,320! I averaged 91 gold a day since March 1st (I started with 0) to get to this point. 33 packs plus the 5 I have plus the expected 3 we will get should more than make up for not being able to pre order :D

Dedication! :D I got a measly 1200 so ill get 12 on top of the 5 free, so 17.After seeing how the meta shapes i might buy more like 10 bucks or something.

Hi i'm Tyler and I play hearthstone and watch anime.
Sometimes i make cards. I'd like to do that for a career one day if ever possible.
7600 - started to safe in January :) I always receive a lot of 80 G challenges from random guys of my friend list tho, I guess because I always accept and answer all questions :D
i have about 3.6 or 3.7kg plus the preorder, so i'll be opening 91 or 92 packs (i assume there will also be some pack quests, though i don't know how many). also should have around 17k dust after HoF refunds

From my experience, 80 packs are enough to have most (if not all) of commons and rares, some epics and 2-5 legendaries (depending on your luck) and enough dust to craft some more cards (also depending on your luck opining packs).
But this time i am proven wrong by blizz boys, by puting extra legendaries in every class, which are all at least fun to try and play, may be not all of them are valid
its good to buy extra packs this time and/or extra dust
6550 gold here...plus the 5 packs already collected, plus there should be another 3 packs coming via quest today. No preorder, so in total 73 packs today. I'm really hoping I get at least 2 different quests (pretty much any 2 but would prefer Warrior and Priest). Plus I have 13,280 dust plus about 3600 for non-golden hall of fame cards.

Fuck cubelock
I never safe anything, just buying TGT Packs since MSG came out till they rotate out, so crafting TGT cards isn't that expensive

Only 2k... But all the dust I'll be getting will hopefully make up for that.
Danger is just opportunity in disguise, Eddie!
