Hearthpwn

(Story that inspired this thread):    

So I am not a new player, but I stopped playing a month or two before GvG came out. I got distracted by all my new console master race games (kappa), and when I heard about GvG I wanted to get back into hearthstone. I signed in, and some sign in BS made it so I lost my account, whatever. I had a lot of legendaries, thousands of games, all of Naxxramas beat, started well before full release, yata yata and proudly no money spent on anything. That's not what this is about though, I made a new account and made some budget zoo for constructed, just playing for my dailies. I saved for arenas and that's how I got my new cards. I love playing arena. Its my favorite part of the game.  Anyways I am lacking the dust/gold power to buy epics and a lot of rares, it seems my arena packs are only rewarding the typical 4 common, 1 rare, an occasional gold card, and I have gotten about 2 epics, 1 of which I DE'd, and of course 0 legendaries. I appreciate the mech archetype and enjoy playing it, but my current card set makes me feel like its mech or bust, I am tired of getting the same handful of commons that are in GvG. I want options again.

A simple fix to this would be the option to change my card pack reward for arena to original. I REALLY don't want to buy regular packs with gold because my favorite part of the game is arena. Like yea I want to find Dr Boom in a GvG pack along with some other cool legendaries, but first I need Sylvanis, Rag, all of the druid epics like those are all great, you get my point. They even say basic packs are better than the GvG packs in the store. Why can't I change my reward pool?

I realize this could have been a lot shorter, but I am a rambler. This is also my first post thing, I have not seen anything like my post on here.

Yep, its been brought up quite a bit and I completely agree. However blizzard does not, so best get on that arena grind and craft what you need.

I agree you should get a choice of reward. I too like Arena the best out of all of Hearthstone.

I too would much, much, much rather get "Classic" packs instead of GVG packs.  Not only was I not done with collecting the classic cards when they took them away, I don't care much for GvG.

Personally, I think they should have both classic and GvG packs in the store and have Arena just award a token good for any pack from the store.  Or just have Arena award universal packs that pull from all cards - or just award X cards directly and not have to deal with packs.

It is really convoluted to force Arena to reward GvG.  It's probably a mix of sales strategy, simplicity and what they think people should have.  It certainly is not for flexibility and choice.

i think they will eventually do this.
