New expansion about to drop, Blizzard launches their Pre-Orders for the expansion as per usual, however people are angry (well more angry than normal from what I have seen) at Blizzard's "predatory" bundles.
So...what's the fuss about this time?
Common points people have made are:
•New bundles are sold at a 1:1 ratio like normal packs are, there's no value in this!
While you may not be saving money getting these bundles for the packs, you do get free cosmetics such as the card back, golden legendaries or Jaraxxus. As far as I'm concerned, that's way better than buying it off the store on launch.
•Witchwood gave us 70 for 50! Why can't Blizzard do this again?
The 70 for 50 was the Witchwood's incentive to get players to buy the bundle. Most expansions previously gave the 50 for 50 bundle + card back IIRC and no one complained. The one time Blizzard gave us a good deal and now everyone expects it.
•Jaraxxus locked behind a huge paywall, Unfair!
Its a scummy business practice that preys on your desire to obtain exclusive items, but that is Blizzard's incentive to get people to buy their mega bundle. Exclusivity sells! Besides, Blizzard is not the only company out there that does these "Limited Exclusive" bundles, most other companies do too. Its not like Blizzard locked the warlock class behind this $80 paywall. You can't have everything in life.
•Limited time offer that locks the hero away forever.
So was Maiev and Lunara, and C'Thun. And Marin.
•This isn't fair for F2P players!
Blizzard is generous enough in their card game already. Try asking for F2P in MTG.
•Card packs increased in price!
Even I am unhappy about this.
TL;DR
Nothing is unfair about this bundle.
Edit:
Criticisms welcome, just don't go all flamey and be like "bUt bLiZzArD *complain*", keep things calm and rational, and be nice to each other.
