You are the one who compared the Heist to additions that gave you an advantage, not me. You put it on the same level as the Naxx, BRM, LoE and Karazhan to justify the price, and I pointed out the differences between them, which you just agreed to. If the content is not the same, why should the price be?
Why do people just assume it should be free if it doesn't have this price? Does Blizzard have an on/off switch that changes between Free/2800g without anything in the middle?
My previous post you quoted legitimately states that I could get down with a price that wasn't the same as a full adventure's, because it isn't a full adventure, even if they dropped the packs. Make the price for content only and subtract the price from new cards.
You can't have it for free. Okay, I get that, everyone can stop repeating this point. Can we have it for a price that isn't the same as more valuable content from the past? Or is having a memory entitlement?

And the following content-only, cardless adventures were never paid for:
All four examples of yours actually have an expansion tied to them. People would buy them for their cards and keep up with the meta. I doubt you will find a single soul who decided to buy this just so they could play Zayle in constructed. In this case, you are paying for content alone (and 12 outdated packs).
I'll say it again: the content is good, but overpriced. I don't really care if you buy overpriced stuff yourself or anyone else for that matter, but to just call people entitled or poor for shattering your delusions is where I draw the line.
If Blizzard wanted to net in some profits for solo content they could have gone for a price lower than a full adventure, because this is less than a full adventure. They could even drop the packs along with the price for all I care. All they are is a crutch to justify the full price of a solo adventure.

I already created an account there. I am just holding back until the ship actually sinks. Even if I am not posting or lurking, I prefer to keep Hearthpwn open all day long than Out of Cards. Don't know why, really.

Hello everyone. As you probably know already, the world is ending, Hearthpwn is closing down. It has been a wild ride. Much laughter was had. Many tears too, even if 95% of them were shed this week, but regardless... the time has come to say goodbye. I've looked at several of the largest threads on this website (General Discussion only), many of them from before I was here. Behold, the winners of my contest!
9) Its about time Blizzard! [Undertaker Nerf Discussion]
A blast from the past, a relic of an ancient era when Blizzard still dragged their boots to nerf cards. We can shed a tear for how long a way we've come (and laugh at the 26% of voters that somehow thought it was a bad idea). Indeed, if my research did not fail me, this was the most popular Nerf Discussion on this website. Let's give it a hand, shall we?
8) Gender Representation in Hearthstone.
Perhaps not the most pertinent of threads, it's true, but this cesspit of Social Justice attracted a whopping 17 pages of replies from our lovely community, some less civil than others. Alas, the thread ended up locked after only 4 days, and devolved into a flame war for gender rights in general, but by God did it net those views and replies. Maybe don't give this one a hand, but remark its existence and be done with it.
7) This is why Competitive Hearthstone is a Joke
A textbook display, here, folks, about the argumentative flexibility of our own community. This legendary thread started as a complaint about Yogg (damn you, DiViNE_Priest) affecting the seriousness of the pro scene, but a quick trip to its 12th page will bring you to the end of a debate about Barnes and Fandral. Truly, we have masterful rhetoricians among us.
6) Why do people think aggro is easy or scummy?
Now, this particular thread, while earning itself its share of views, is not impressive by itself. There is a mild flame war in the middle, several lengthy replies, the whole package associated with the topic. It is, however, one of the most reincarnated discussions on Hearthpwn, and perhaps the less shitstormy one I've found. With popularity to spare, this thread can fairly be interpreted as a good representative of every time this topic was summoned back to life.
5) Most annoying class to play AGAINST/Which deck require the least skills to play?
This one is a tie between two similarly sized threads, about a similar topic. Many of these have we seen during our days here, and usually, unsurprisingly, people associate the decks they dislike the most with low skill floors🤔. Regardless, the threads have sparked many echoing discussions, such as the quest for the game's hardest decks to pilot. Maybe they won't win any originality awards, but they certainly had their influence on the forums.
4) How much money have you spent on HS?
Ah, this thread, this topic... What a rollercoaster of emotions that one can feel while he reads the 8 pages of replies to this thread! From overzealous F2Pers who want to declare their money-spending celibacy too eagerly to reckless individuals who probably should not be entrusted with credit cards, these sort of threads always sparked discussion in our GD, and brought fourth all sorts of colorful characters.
3) How will Blizzard inevitably nerf rogue?
I could not hope to finish this countdown without any recent thread to reference. nichocolates earned himself not only 21 pages of replies, but he also arranged a thread that aged as finely as wine, along with a string of replies that, inversely, aged as finely as milk. This here captures one of the main struggles of Hearthpwn: the quest for balance, the difficulty of distinguishing salt from real discussions, and the paradoxical attraction of the community to the threads they complain about. nicho, you might still be active here, so come on stage and collect your award.
2) All those players that rage-friend just to complain (BM)
And finally, the big winner
1) THE SALT THREAD
Honestly, who is surprised? The Salt Thread has been a godsend all these years, and we've taken it for granted. It has birthed legends, quelled flames and accompanied us through thick and thin. Pasting its link has become an overused joke, but it is a small price to pay for the boon that the Salt Thread is. There isn't much to add to it that hasn't been said already. I'd put the link on the title, but we all probably know it back and forth by now.
Did I miss anything?

Good Lord, you people just went and gave a thread you find abhorrent 4k views and 4 pages of replies. Why do you keep these threads alive if you hate them so much, Hearthpwn, why?

I'm still skeptical about the efficiency of blind buffs. There are a lot of useless cards in the game, and you just have to blindly grope through the collection to find suitable buff candidates. OP cards are a lot fewer, and easier to target. Bringing one down usually shakes up the meta one way or another. In other games, buffs usually only manage to make filler cards less awful, but they sometimes pull off decent surprises.
Still, while we're getting both of them, who's complaining? It could be that I am wrong and that buffs end up shaking the meta a lot more than I am giving them credit for.

I get what you are saying, but calling Daenerys an old ruler is a bit of a stretch. She got there, razed the place, and then was killed for doing so. Besides Yara, most of her allies were loyal to Jon above her. And we've had this situation before, where Jaime earned himself a pardon for committing treason, just because he did it for the winning side against an even greater tyrant.
About the Wall... meh, fair enough. I do remember Tyrion's description of its new purpose. It just didn't make me very happy or satisfied to see something that was formerly so significant reduced to a penal colony with no further reason to be.
As for the North's independence and other kingdoms, while I have no doubt there are advantages to staying united, I still do not understand Sansa's move or everyone's complacency with it. The Iron Throne is under a Stark, one with a decent claim for the kingdom of the North too. Shouldn't her people choose like they did with Robb and Jon? Wouldn't other rulers in the heat of the moment make some detrimental demand about their own freedom? Though that I understand. There wasn't much time left, so filling it with pointless political arguing was probably not optimal.

So... last episode. The end of a cultural phenomenon. I felt... hollow. But I liked a few things, I guess:
And there's a lot that makes no sense whatsoever:

Okay, first things first. That jab at democracy where everyone laughs at Sam's suggestion was pretty funny.

Are you sure they don't stack? In my case, I got the -2 popping up at the start of their turns, but they still lost 4 health.

Well, you have to understand none of this is exactly new. We have had these rewards and this (admittedly less polished) game mode for free in the past. More importantly: we've had this price in the past, and it yielded better stuff for the consumer. So if we are paying the same for less valuable stuff that used to be free, instead of the more valuable stuff that we used to pay for... well, what exactly is wrong about being displeased with it?
If Blizzard suddenly charged 200-300g to play Tavern Brawl every week, would people call all these other free brawls demos and call complainers entitled too? My guess, sadly, is that yes, many would.
But the saddest part for me is that the content is really good. It just happens to be promoted by a pile of obsolete packs, a meh legendary and at the cost of my ability to keep up when the next expansion hits.

I like the content. I even bought the second wing with gold. Buuut... yeah, it is a transparent attempt to crank up the yearly price of Hearthstone even further.
People who compare this to a videogame thanks to its hours of content forget that most videogames are not going to show up every few months asking for more gold/money. And before anyone says "well how about DLC, bigot?" and that's when I will say: DLC doesn't make the game unplayable if you don't get it. A HS expansion that you don't buy into cripples you badly enough that you probably can't play Standard anymore.
Every other argument has already been torn apart by Rando, though, so I won't bother messing with perfection.
I'm probably not spending the remaining 2100 gold on the adventure. It's just too much for too little, without enough time to prepare for the next expansion already.
It makes me sad because the solo content team is probably the best one Hearthstone has, but buying into this will hands-down leave me incapable of playing HS when the next expansion hits unless I cough up some cash.

Some cards just destroy how the AI functions. KT and taunts used to do that, that Ice Pick does that, and soft taunt minions are still a thing the artificial opponents cannot master (leaving Saraad alive or a Flamewaker just to kill something with better stats like a Devilsaur has happened, and that was today).
I wouldn't say it is the Dalaran Heist AI as much as it is HS AI.

I've seen the recipes and some of them don't have the villains in them. I think they're going from something a bit different than recipes.

Still, this episode had some damn issues. I was entertained by the ballsy bloodshed of butchering children and mothers on screen (about time we get children dying in pop media, moar pls), so these weren't too great this time.
