I played a lot of arena after the change (standard arena format) and did fairly decent. I managed to reach 12 wins twice this season, but in both runs I got such lame rewards compared to what I was used to in my past 12 win runs (which were 300-550 gold). Bellow are images from rewards I got in these 2 runs
My current average this month is 6.5 wins, and when ur doing good you want to get rewarded not getting what I got... I'll probably enjoy it some more until new expansion hits as it's more fun than constructed atm
I play A LOT of arena and i really feel like they decrease the chances of getting a lot of gold maybe a month before expansion - you still can rarely highroll with a lot of gold (so you can't blame it on them and just feel unlucky) but MOST of the time you just get minimum. This month i remember only maybe 3-4 highrolls out of (!)33. Ofcourse it feels like another "illuminati theory", but it is not the first time it happens.
I'm really tilted by all of the arena rewards I'm getting these days... Feels like blizzard rigged it on purpose to reduce gold gain from arena because new expansion is inc
I'm not that interested in the rewards thing (we get these threads all the time with people making observations off small sample sizes). I'm far more interested in how you went 12-0 with that Hunter deck. I mean it looks decent, but not at all like a 12-0 deck :)

In 30 runs I played this month my average is 7.2 wins per run. You could say I "mastered" the arena meta and know what to expect most of the time from my opponent. As for that 12-0 run, it's simple, meta slowed down so much, that going face from the start = easy win
I played about 15 runs in the last 3 days and one of the rewards in each run was ALWAYS A REGULAR COMMON CARD. I admit that I never got more than 9 wins in any run, but these rewards are really disappointing. Is it true that after the latest patch (ver7.1.1.x) Blizzard decides to reduce the Arena rewards?
I also got common cards as a reward for 8 and 9 wins. People did post legendary card reward for 12 wins in 12 wins thread. But according to the list it could be actual rewards: http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Arena

I got antonidas for 9 wins afaik this month as arena reward, and before I got Lord Jaraxxus for 12 and Xaril for 8 wins, thus ye, it is possible but quite rare.
i think they lowered the gold, i'm averaging like around 7 wins right now too and i'm still slowly losing gold instead of going infinite now. I keep getting common cards as rewards.
Like just now, i got 5 wins in an arena, and my reward was pack, 50 gold and a rare card. In other words i lost like 100 gold from playing above average in arena since the cards mean nothing now (since i have pretty much most of the gadgetzan cards).
As a full time Arena player that has done well over 1,000 runs i can tell you they defiantly did slash the gold amount and it was very obvious when they did. Am pretty sure there is even an official blue post saying they were changing Arena rewards.

They made these gold reductions months ago.
I got 2 more 12 wins recently and these are the kind of "normal" rewards I used to get, thus I was probably just unlucky (perhaps). I an well aware that they changed arena rewards, but I was never on such bad streak of getting literally worst possible ones (barely any gold and bunch of cards/dust).
Came back from a few months break. Played 2 Arenas, 5 and 7 wins. I only got packs and gold as rewards but still MADE A LOSS compared to just buying packs.
Um... what? How?! That just isn't possible!

Who cares about gold. It's all about showing off golden cards now :)
Rewards seem the same, you just low rolled on the gold.

Be happy with it. I can't even get past 4 wins.
I am not a Mage player, just thought my avatar would go with my name.

Check out my homebrewn Paladin deck.
They really should exclude that "25-35 gold" and common cards. Today Arena is just not worth playing, it's too time-consuming and low-rewarded.

Really hard to go infinite now.

Had 5 wins, got a pack, 50 gold and ice barrier... Thats not even worth it
I an well aware that they changed arena rewards, but I was never on such bad streak of getting literally worst possible ones (barely any gold and bunch of cards/dust).
I've had 5000+ arena wins. I've only got Antonidas once. That was before the patch.
Nowadays I stop trying so hard after 7 wins cause the rewards are very often the same after that.
