Good luck on your jolly quest to save the world of hearthstone. Unfortunately it looks like most people disagree, not that it matters anyway. Fact is you can't control what other people do.. I guess we could talk about it all day though

 Well the bold and all caps part towards the end definitly make you look like an angry white boy.

I am kind of sick of some people blaming netdecking as the reason they are terrible at playing hearthstone. And here is why. Sure if there were no forums then good decks would take a little longer to catch on, but it would not change anything really. If I am losing to deck i take mental notes about what my opponent is doing and think about why it is working. If i like the class i will adapt some of my strategies to what is working. Sure if there was no forums or deck building/posting websites then people would have to have good memories or take pen to paper and write down what their opponent is using, but you better believe that with 30 cards in a deck it would not be hard for people to replicate decks that work really well. It is not creative sure, but the game would be the same. All the the internet has done is make it easier to do it.

So if you think netdecking is why you are terrible at hearthstone then you are wrong. You are just bad at the game.

 You should try actually reading before typing a paragraph of nonsense 

 it makes perfect sense. Please detail what is so nonsensical about the paragraph. Or you can just spout of silly things with no support. Thank you :)

Yesterday a mad bomber was played and managed to do 15 dmg to me because I missed all 10 of the 1/2 drops I had. I was on my way to being 12-2 in arena when I ran into a hunter. We both came to a unspoken gentlemen agreement and proceeded to SMORC the entire game when at the last moment, with him at 3 life facing sure defeat the hunter betrayed our agreement and played a TAUNT! It wasnt just any taunt either. It was a sludge belcher. I have never felt so betrayed in my life.

Oh, I'm sorry, you cloaked it in the guise of "This type of behavior is not healthy for the game and it will begin to drive away newer players that cant play these decks without shelling out money."

Won't someone think of the children! Please, start playing horrible decks so they (not me) can win more often, and not get mega salty!

You spelled it out clearly in your first paragraph. "Most people would rather win, or at least play something that gives them the illusion of having a higher chance of winning, instead of trying to forge their own path and create their own deck." You want to see less people playing to win because it sucks the fun out of the game for those people (not you, oh no no no!) who don't play to win.

 So not only are you full of shit but you actually have the audacity to throw words into my mouth while you are at it. You actually sat there and typed a paragraph full of assumption and baseless claims you have no way of proving . The mental gymnastics would have been pretty impressive if you didnt add your condescending douchebag personality to it as well. I think that was a little tasteless. Squirming indeed. 

A spew of personal insults like that really doesn't do much other than convince me that I interpreted your thread quite correctly, indeed.

 Agreed. Every week or two we get another installment of this crap because someone gets mega salty and wishes the rest of the playerbase would start playing horrible decks so he could win more often. Moderators should just insta-lock any thread with the word "netdeck" in subject or first post.

If you can find me complaining about losing anywhere in this thread I will gladly accept your request of having this thread locked.

What's the point of this thread if people that think netdecking is a problem won't ever change their opinions on this topic regardless of what we say ?

 I don't have a horse in this race, but that's not the point. It was an extrapolation of information meant to undermine your credibility. Why are you even taking the bait?

 you're being willfully ignorant here and Im sure you are aware of that. You know just as well as I do that thousands of people didnt suddenly decide to 'create' mech mage, patron, secret pally, miracle rogue at the same time. Cmon now

 While I can't be sure about Miracle Rogue, you can bet your ass that lots of people are trying patron, mech mage, and secret pally when the respective expansions were released. It doesn't take too much brain cells to recognize that mech cards synergize with each other, and that Goblin Blastmage is a good card. From there on, it's tinkering until you get the best lists.

Now, I have a question: Why do you guys imply that playing your own deck is a good thing to begin with? Would you go to a doctor who invents his own medicine?

 Really wish he had answered this question. It's arguably a weak analogy, but it's a good point.

And to contribute to the discussion:

I'm a good player.

I'm a bad deckbuilder.

That's why I netdeck. 

Quote from frankelee >>

Agreed. Everyone else start playing a garbage deck... now!

Quote from Sherman1986 >>

Guys, even when most people netdecking is not one of the best things for the game, we can't change that and I also doubt Blizzard can do it. So, really, what is the purpose of this thread?. To call other players silly for doing so and complain about them?.

If someone has a really good idea to improve this game for everyone, please share it, because I haven't seen one yet, and many people are just complaining here.

Obviously the 99% is a made up statistic but no one that actually plays this game or understands how it works can deny that most people in ranked AND casual netdeck all of the time.

The more I play HS (and I've been playing since closed beta) the more I realize how meaningless netdecking is. Most decks are built around such simple strategies that even a monkey without access to Internet would eventually build them, if you gave it some time. I often tweak decks to my own liking and do better than with some "90% win rate easy legend" decks hpwn advertises.

Netdecking is heavily overrated, especially with regard to the state of the whole game.

Quote from zeloheim >>

I agree with H2050, the problem isnt "netdecking" as you call it. It's that there arent enough cards to create diverse decks, if you look at mtg they have a ton of cards which makes for unique decks popping up all the time.

I would like to see hearthstone expand much more faster and packs containing more cards so that we can get more unique decks, also what i really want is creature type themed decks, eg samurais, pandas, elves etc but as of now theres only murlocs and pirates(sort of).  

So until they increase the number of cards/expansion released I think the meta decks will stay around 2-3 per class, but i doubt theyll ever release larger card sets because the pack size is 5 per card and releasing sets with a bunch of cards means theyll need to change the pack size which they wont do. ever.
