Someone mentioned in another thread about preferring to get dust than the legendaries in the coming expansion.
I figured it was an interesting thought (on reflection), so I thought I'd see what others thought about it. (That's a lot of thought)
When opening packs, would you rather receive a random legendary card (in the way it currently works right now), or would you prefer to see some sort of golden "loot" card that gives you 1600 free dust?
I can understand both sides of this : the upside is that it lets you pick and choose the legendaries you want, rather than suffer the disappointment of pulling a Millhouse or a Prince 3, etc. Whereas the opposing concern might be that you feel that "rare" cards are already far too easy to obtain and this would just take the fun out of hoping for that extra special card you might want.
No downside to the dust even if you want a legendary from this set you can pick which one as opposed to getting a bad legendary also the dust can be used to get 4 epics 16 rates etc or halfway payment towards a golden legendary
Surprised anyone would take random legendaries over 1600. Interested to hear why almost a third of people would prefer to have choice taken away.
Well, it "could" be in part due to the reason presented - namely that there is an element of fun-factor in the surprise of RNG determining what you get. There's also some "bragging rights" when you get that elusive amazing Legendary, etc.
Personally I'm in mixed minds - I think I would prefer being able to choose - only because I'm at the point in my collection where I am still needing just one or two specific ones and am tired of not getting the one I want in packs. But that's just me. :-P
It is rather a rhetorical question, is not it? If you get 1600 dust, you can craft any legendary you want. LOL. Noone would take a random one.
Well, the poll suggests otherwise - and some people who like the idea that getting a specific legendary takes a little luck and some effort rather than freely getting whichever you want. I'm not sure why you think it's "rhetorical"? Are you sure that's the word you meant? It is a question that requested an answer, so not a rhetorical one...
The question would be more interesting, if it would be like 800 dust or a random legendary. There has to be a downside to the dust option.
Yeah, possibly so. Though I think 800 is a bit too low of an offer. Perhaps 1200? That requires dusting another Legenedary to get the one of your choice? :-) (OR a golden Epic)
For the ones who actually wonder why can anyone pick random legendary over 1600 dust. My reason is that I'm a collector and If they would give free 1600 dust, even I will craft probably a meta legendary over a meme one. So this way I could collect a non-meta-defining legendary card and try to use it in some decks. That's my reason and I'm sure there are some other reasons for picking random legendary over 1600 dust.
Memedeck-seeker. Always tries to build new decks. Hates tournements, streamers, netdecks and poor-o players. ah, but a tournement mode could be great !!!
I guess that what Blizzard would offer us is a Random Legendary or 400-800 dust, since that is basically 4-8 packs, 16 packs' orth of dust might be too much. If they offered me the 400 dust or the legendary, i'd go for hte legendary, but if they raised the bet to 800 dust or legendary, id be better off with the dust
Most definatley go with dust. Picking your own is much better than getting stuck with a bad legendary and not even dusting that due to the duplicate rule.
Heh, well if you mean something I wrote, then it was honestly purely coincidental (and unintentional). As I say, I could be persuaded either way on this one really. :-)

What do you think?
(Poll attached above)
Well getting to pick is way more fun, since you auctally pick what you want
Don't mind me just passing by

1600 dust all the way. If we could choose one from three different legendaries it would be cool though.
I've no clue what I'm doing...
We are are all playing a card game randomness is the key to it... Random leg for me please!
If we get to choose then why are we playing a card game, play chess....
...The problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude to the problem.

A better question would be if people prefer a uncraftable golden legendary or 1600 dust.

Nice
As someone who has terrible luck getting good legendaries I would take the 1600 dust option in a second.
If you are in your first year of playing please read this post.
Dust does not burn a hole in the jar. Be careful what you craft, especially before and right after a rotation.
How is this an actual question? Do you also spin the wheel every time you get 1600 dust to see what legendary you're going to craft this time?
Most definatley go with dust. Picking your own is much better than getting stuck with a bad legendary and not even dusting that due to the duplicate rule.
That biased choice of wording tho.
the game is all about utilizing random resources (either draw, mulligan or discover).
So.. It's cool to play with what you get i guess.
