...Have blizzard stealth nerfed the hell out of the arena rewards system. I get common cards all the time now instead of gold or dust. It's absolutely infuriating.
possibly they need $$$ and getting too many good rewards in arena hurts their business
you gotta remember one thing everything in hearthstone from prices to cards (like boogeymonster,gruul etc,),rewards,crafting system and adventures is carefully and smartly designed to give blizzard as much profit possible without pissing the players too much and they are certainly getting away with a lot of things
What I primarily object to is that whenver they make balance changes that can in anyway be interpretted as positive theres a big song and dance about it. But I wasn't even aware of this change, I've been left to stumble into it over the course of lots of arena runs. Not cool. The squeeze of F2P players continues.
I get cards at about a 1:1 ratio to number of runs, but I don't think it's all that bad. I find that I rarely get the dust bottle anymore, so seems more like they threw out the dust and give me cards instead. With ~45k dust, both dust and cards aren't a big deal, but I don't feel like getting a random card is really worse than getting some dust. I have gotten some ok cards like golden rares, epics, and golden epics during WOG arena runs.
I don't know if the actual dust value of disenchanting those cards is worth more than the average amount of dust I've gotten in pre-WOG runs, but to me getting an epic, golden epic, or constructed playable golden rare is far more exciting than getting a bottle of dust.

Yeah, it's pretty irritating. I suppose it could be good for newer players to get cards faster.
