What region do you live in? For the Dungeon runs, the email I got simply states -
Raise the stakes in new Dungeon Runs, free, replay-able challenges where you'll defeat bosses, loot their cards and treasures for your deck, and try to survive!
It looks a whole lot of fun and gives you a card back when you complete with all classes.
Blizzard just gave you a free legendary card that is super fun. They also gave 2 free packs each week as well as 2 free arena runs in a super cool new way with dual classes. They gave a free DK with ICC. They gave you a Golden Pack (partnered with Amazon Prime but still them) They give you a free legendary in first 10 packs. They're giving you a free legendary weapon in new expansion. They're giving you a free mode that looks loads of fun.
My guess is they were initially going to award free packs for dungeon runs, and then the corporate people had a fit about giving away free stuff. Blizzard EU probably sent out the old version of the e-mail.
We'll probably still get something like 6 free packs though.

I wouldn't complain if I were you.
Im not complaining I really like the new node and Im really exited to play it.As I said above I read it and got confused.
They have confirmed that the only reward is a cardback if you are able to beat it with all 9 classes. Personally, if the only two options are paid entry with rewards or free entry with no rewards, I'm happy to see free entry with no rewards. It sounds like fun and I'm happy to have a mode for fun.
That said, it's a significant amount less packs given away if we have no adventure and Dungeon Runs give no rewards so I'm kind of expecting some other way that they give us free packs. The community is already upset about the price structure and I can't imagine they let it fester by reducing the number of packs given away on a set release. My guess is that we see another event like the Frost Festival on launch of K&C or some kind of Quest giveaway like they did with Gadgetzan when it launched. As long as that guess is correct, I am extremely happy with Dungeon Run having no rewards.
No doubt it's good but if you look at every other card game and compare it to Blizzard in terms of rewards, your statement essentially translates to:
"Blizzard gave you a whole lot of crumbs after the community begged for things for a very long time, so eat them and be quiet."
It's hardly generous of them, they are just slowly coming to the realisation that they can't keep giving out nothing forever.
Also why shouldn't he complain? It's not like the game improved because Blizzard thought of the changes on their own. Anything and everything that we have achieved came off of the back of the community's public outcry!

That's great and all but there are other companies out there doing more and giving free new modes to their games with rewards to get new players involved. With how much they rake in off this digital game they should have added rewards or a challenge mode with rewards to the Dungeon system. At this point it's going to be about as used as Tavern brawl is. Played for a month and forgotten after the first month.

You didn't say that! XD 'I also saw many treads about the Dungeon runs not having rewards(expect for the card back) and I dont know if I can belive this.' - Sounds to me like you're outraged they won't give more free things.
Never trust Blizzard ... I think that's the true meaning behind this story!

I suppose that the statment in the mail recivede by Traktat is refered to the packs you'll recieve during the DR from the bosses in order to increase your decks in that run. But I'm not sure about that.
But I'm sure that during BlizzCon the've said that no rewards will come from DR, except for the card back if you beat it with all 9 Classes.

I read it more like disbelief in a rumor then outrage.
Honestly my main concern is that I will LOVE Dungeon run and have no remaining incentive to play it once i've looted it for all that it's worth. I personally don't play a Tavern Brawl after the pack is gained most weeks. It will just become a dusty button on my homescreen that does not rotate if there is no incentive for replaying it. Hate on my opinion all you want but personally i would rather pay a gold entry free then have it become a dead game mode in a months time.
I can agree with playing a mode for fun, which is the point of games, but adding the most minor of rewards to the mode, like to complete quests or earn 10g here and there, like some have stated, would help bridge the community of those who like PvE content and those who are competitive.
A problem with no reward is that a full run takes a fair amount of time. Time that spent in competitive matches can earn gold, which helps you stay that much more competitive and involved in the competitive community. With even a very incremental reward, new players, F2P players and PvE players can slowly build towards feeling comfortable diving into an online community that is getting more and more brutal and punishing with every expansion. More players means more money, and competitive players would likely skip the mode after a while anyway, progressing faster on PvP, so they aren't missing anything.
My long winded way of saying I don't see the harm in a small, incremental reward, anyway.

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
You get cards that help you keep going. Not part of your collection.

I just hope you can complete quests with it or that they create special quests for DR. Just hope that this gamemode will elvolve in the future.
"... but not less than (1)" is needed now more than ever!
have they shown the cardback yet, is it the one on the artwork with "the rat"?
