It is simple. The HS community is toxic as fuck and consists of spoiled salty brats. :-)

zzAMBIENzz posted a message on What if you could buy individual cards with money instead of packs?Posted in: General DiscussionKripps idea (from a video he posted a couple weeks back) was a great one. Just include a set amount of dust in each pack, lets say 50 dust.
That way, you know that with a 40 pack bundle, you are guaranteed 2000 dust, even if you decide to keep every card. It also would help F2P players gather a little more dust from brawls and arena.
I still can't complain .. having come from a game (Mobile Strike) that required about $1000 per WEEK to play at or near top level, and offered no chance in hell for a F2P player, I still think HS has a pretty decent F2P system, as well as a reasonable P2P system -

itachiitachi posted a message on Cost of Hearthstone compared to MTGPosted in: General ChatI played magic for over 20 years, and spent under 10k, before I started selling my collection it was somewhere between 50-80k.
Anyone who played magic for a while and isn't terrible with their finances, probably has a similar story. Some people may point out that that's probably not replicable anymore and that's the point I'm coming to. As greedy as Blizzard is with HS, it's nothing compared to WOTC, heck the only reason that Hearthstone exist is that WOTC was so greedy with Magic online they left a wide opening in the market for Blizzard to take advantage of.
WOTC's main focus is standard, for standard they have made changes to it such that deck costs increased from $100-$300 to $200-$500 over a two year period, they vastly decreased the number of reprints in standard (the equivalent of Blizzard hall of faming all the classic and basic cards), and even tried to shorten the rotation time. Short to say unless you're a good speculator or a shark standard is going to be a drain on your wallet.
The other formats such as legacy and modern, which are generally consider better formats, in the past at least decks tended to maintain or gain value. But between Wotc focusing less on these formats, and most of the focus that is given to them is Wotc getting into the secondary market and the every better forgeries of magic cards, which is prompted by some of Wotc polices. I wouldn't say getting your money back out of either of those formats is a sure thing anymore.
If you really know what you're doing magic can be cheaper. Judging by the percentage of you that rated gnomeferatu as "meta defining" last expansion, most of you just have the occasional glimmer of what you are doing and are better of sticking to digital CCGs.

MutuhPwn posted a message on Cost of Hearthstone compared to MTGPosted in: General ChatMagic is more a nerdy-luxury lifestyle with own community. And its totally fine when rich people have such a great hobby.
But if u have lack of finances and want to have a positive expirience in playing (not living) a card game, than Hearthstone is a much better choise.
That is my opinion. U can have your own. No problem.

user-29794348 posted a message on So about that failed card reveal today...Posted in: General ChatActually, the day Blizzard bankrupts and Hearthstone ceases to exist, Hearthstone will still live through fan-made replica as it already exists nowadays. You can play Hearthstone without running the original game, you just do not have the animation side of the game but the cards will definitely still exists.

MutuhPwn posted a message on Cost of Hearthstone compared to MTGPosted in: General ChatQuote from jasperrr91 >>I've play magic since 2002 year. Spend several thousands dollar on it.Normal standard deck cost 100+$. TopTier standard deck cost 500+$. Rotate every 1.5 year? After rotation you can burn almost 70% of those cards, cause noone need them anymore.Wanna play modern. Double prices i wrote before.Legacy? Tripple.And pay for every fnm or other tournament to win crapy boosters with one dollar rare.Waste time on road to local store.What i have now? 2-3 modern decks, 1-2 legacy, and a solid commander collection. Wow.Now hearthstone.I play little more than a year. Spend around 400$ and can make 20-40 (!!!) competitive decks to play in wild. Can play anytime and anywhere. Dont waste time on road to local stores to play.Now u are satisfied? -

lullerz posted a message on Cost of Hearthstone compared to MTGPosted in: General ChatQuote from futhead_dpac >>Being competitive and free-to-play is totally realistic - especially in wild.
Gone are the days where wallet warrior decks defined the meta. Aggro is alive and strong. If you can craft patches and two southsea captains, you can play competitively.
This! I only play wild and have no trouble keeping up with the meta decks. MTG is more expensive to play, specially older formats.Having said that, I think hearthstone packs are expensive and that the game could really benefit from a tournament mode.I am gonna make a crazy statement.Hearthstone packs SHOULD BE VIEWED AS EXPENSIVE BY MOST PLAYERS in order for the collectible aspect of the game to be a success. If hearthstone is seen as cheap, the whole idea of collectibility goes down the drain. People who enjoy building and managing a collection in order to 'show-it-off' to opponents friends, etc. would not feel proud about what they have assembled if it is viewed as cheap or relatively easy to attain.Collectibles are Veblen goods - the quantity you buy increases as price increases - at least for some range of prices. Blizzards 3 expansions a year are testing where on the curve people are - and I think that by their financial results we can see that we are still in the sweet spot of pricing - they raised prices and people bought more.Good for you Blizzard, ticker symbol: ATVI.Now, if you are free-to-play like me, you are flying in the face of the games cash-customers. You have assembled something at zero cost, decks which can compete with what they had to spend money to attain. They tried to pay-to-win what you can get for free. That is the ultimate accomplishment in my mind and it should inspire F2Ps to NOT spend money and taint an otherwise commendable accomplishment.TLDR: suck it whales - buy the stock, not the packsNo, on second thought, buy both - keep dropping those all golden legendary wallet decks for me to slam my lowly non-golden doomhammer into. -

there are many counters to this. It'll catch some people off guard at first, but, it wont last.

If Team 5 did everything these expert crybabies and chronic complainers wants, there'd be another group of whiners and armchair designers popping up with their list of "fire Team 5.1; here's why" very quickly.
The game is not as terrible as the squeaky wheels suggest. For most players (and most players are casual) it's fine. If you play 4-8 hours a day, and are not a pro-streamer, then you need to fire yourself from the game if its inherent flaws bother you so much.

im F2P and can make most of the top decks (sitting on 16000 dust so could easily craft most)
Just have to reroll 40g daily and complete them regularly.

this brawl will be a great stream to watch
Toast will be really fun to watch as he enjoys RNG
Kripp will be fun to watch as he implodes
