Sad to see some ppl here with brains as big as a chicken as they actually dont realize that this thread was made as a satire.
Funny thing is that the bozos thinking its a genuine whinny thread are ppl with higher rank than me. Just another proof that time and tier 1 deck is what u need not skill
Dire Mole itself is not a problem, but part of a bigger problem of too many on curve strong neutrals that snowball out of control. IMO 1-drop 1/3s should either be restricted to being class cards or come with a downside.

Well, to me it was pretty obvious : this thread is a parody of "please nerf" threads. This is a troll-post, based on humour and 2nd degree. The orginal poster was sarcastic, and not at all serious.
This is pretty clear by seeing how over the top ridiculous his claims are. Even if the rest did not give it away, the part you pin-pointed should make it obvious for anyone that this was all a JOKE, as no one can possibly that stupid.
I have trouble understanding how you could miss the joke by that far to think this was a serious thread.
If a person make a joke that 95% of readers find hilarious but 5% do not get it, is it a flaw from the joker ? Should he explain the details of why this joke works and is funny to some people ?
Well, here is the thing about being sarcastic or anything else which is not easily transmitable via blank test featuring no indication or present of signs like facial features to let us know such is the case, it doesn't work well.
That is the thing though, Hearthstone is a very wide fanbase and you would be surprised just how dumb some of the players you will encounter actually are. With this is mind, it is entirely possible that this thread can be a serious one, even if it isn't and failing to make it sure for everyone that it is taken as a joke and not as a serious complaint is an issue the OP should have thought about.
Yes, it is the fault of the joker. He framed the joke in a way that not everyone would understand it to be a joke and that is his doing. He doesn't need to explain anything, he has the right to joke however he wants, but will also see others that don't understand the joke take it seriously. If he actually wanted to have this as a joke everyone would understand, he should have made sure he framed the joke in a way that no living serious human being would do. Unfortunately, in this player base, what he presented to us is actually something a serious player could present and hence the flaw. It would need to be even more outrageously illogical than it is to actually be framed in a way no one could take it as serious.
Remember this, it is Hearthstone, a game made to appeal to the lowest possible common denominator, when you want to pick something that would never be real, it has to be a hell of a lot more illogical than you would do for something with a higher common denominator.
Your extensive vernacular and advanced literacy do little to distract from the fact that you are one of the (very) few who took this post seriously. Anyone can use a thesaurus to portray a false sense of intelligence. The fact that you failed to grasp the satirical concept of the first post says a lot more about your comprehension skills than any reply you could muster at this point. Let it go, son.

The fact that you don't realize what you posted is actually something players from this game would actually post is what causes your satire to fly over some people's heads just shows the lack of awareness you have. You can make any post you want but reality is, since this is something a real person would make in this community means your post did not differentiate itself clearly enough to be solely seen as the satire you wanted it to be.
Don't forget, you are creating a post purely made of text, on a community which reaches far and wide, where that kind of speech is nothing new because not all players have the same level of English. If you also add the fact that you post obviously doesn't show us any indication of your facial expressions or anything indicative of your intention (because again, you failed to realize what you posted is something you can find other users doing in a serious manner), it just shows your lack of intelligence. Satire is best done when pushed to the limit of what would conceptially be taken as serious. You didn't do that, you didn't go far enough.
I can't say if I'm one of the very few or not as I didn't read any other comment other than the original or mine and the replied directed at mine.
if you wouldve read more then 1-2 posts he made in this thread, you would have recognized the asthonishing amount of exaggeration he is using. This my friend is, what we call stylistc or rhetorical device.
And while i am still honoring you for jumping into the spot for all of those who cannot fight for themselves and need a little bit of protection from such cruelty as shown in this thread - or wait - letz call it by its name - Satire( and by that I mean Satire by the sort of which isnt that obviously, that hence even the most weakminded and most unaware person in the world would recognize it)... man those long sentences...
So again - while i'm still honoring you for beeing the lawyer of the week and lawyer of the weak (you get it this time right?) , it is an inherent part of Satire to not be open to everyone in any case - thats why we call it an intelligent form of joke. It would totally loose the stylistic part if you would start all your satire with the flagging of:
!! BE CAREFUL LONELY WANDERER! THERE MIGHT BE SATIRE or even worse A HORDE OF DIREMOLES RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR WAY !!
Thats not a world we wanna live in - where you have to explain Jokes, cmon Buddy, you are better then that , stand up and raise your standards, I believe in you!
It is like reading the first Novel of Harry Potter and then claim you dont have to read the other six, cuz you know exactly what will happen
AND! IF you would have that high of a standard, you would have informed yourself a little more about the topic by reading atleast a Site into the whole thread, where nearly everyone was laughing their asses off!

It is. If you have something to say or present, you should make sure you do so in the correct manner. You should try making a presentation at work and do it half-assed and then expect your superiors to wait and see your corrections later. No, you do what you have to do right away in the best possible manner or tough luck.
And no, your Harry Potter comparison makes no sense. If you want to make that comparison correctly, it's like me reading the first Harry Potter book and then ignoring any corrections the author decided to make to it in future books.
That is the thing, my standards are high enough that I assume people will present everything in the starting post like they should. That is what I do and what I expect others do to, I don't expect them to correct things in future posts. If I am required to read a great deal of the thread to understand the point of the OP then he presented his point poorly.
But I can tell you are willing to settle for less so I'm not going to bother, it is not surprising giving the community which is why it didn't surprise me if this was serious.
Funny thing is, that part of my definition of high standard is driven by exact and extensive sight of the given information. Oh wait. thats exactly what im doing at work. And if you think, - like for real you must be kidding, because only a kid would think like that - that my superiors were not prepared about what I might have to say, yeah then you might be right, then i would have to flag every thing like you want it to be. But this seems to be rather very rarely the case, since we obviously all trying to be prepared about a given subject if we wanna talk about it.
So for the next time heres my Advice for you, and its totally free: >> BE PREPARED! Read more then first signs and the first site of a book or an essay.
If you my dear friend expect to see everything presented to you by just reading the introduction into everything you could be
1. either the severe and fearful boss of your company, what explains the belief that everything "has to be presented to you" - so you dont have to put any effort into training your own brain
2. never read a book until the second chapter (which is sad but somewhat understandable)
3. are (and i hope that is not the fact) just an ignorant asshole, who thinks hes the fucking middle of the universe
and to make that clear in the end: I'm sorry for my rude language - thats just to make a clear statement and point about the subject of high standards. It is not used to insult you in your freeness or political doctrine nor is it used to make you feel bad.

That is the thing, I don't have to nor should I have to read any other post aside from the first post to understand what the intention is. I didn't read others and that is because whatever he is trying to portray has to be clearly evident from the first post he makes. Otherwise he is just making a complaint about something he doesn't like and then passes it off as satire.
Again, for the last time, the moment he portrays himself and his post the same way the community would, making not the single bit of effort to distinguish himself in any evident way, that is simply his fault in case he is not interpreted the way he wishes to be.
Reality is, the way he presented things, he can do it in two ways, present satire and take it as it is because it is indistinguishable from a serious post, or present a complaint and pass it off as satire in the future when it is most convinient to change his tone. Reading the original post, I see nothing different from any other serious complaint thread, why should I take it as a satire rather than a complaint? He didn't want to make it evident that it was a satire, I can just assume he made a complaint and decided to pass it off as satire later.
I do have very high standards, there in lies the problem. A simple complaint thread that the OP later decides to pass off as satire is not good enough, hence the issue.
I want in on the debate too!
Hey smartiepants. The onus is on the reader not the joker/poster. Why? Because all great jokes need to walk that fine line. If the joker makes the joke 100% obvious then it gets received as pure troll and dismissed.
This post, at 70% obvious (being generous), is what provides the true entertainment and effectiveness as a satirical piece.
Good day to you sir.

We clearly take a very different stance on high standards. I don't know where I stated your superiors were not prepared, I was talking about you. If you have a project to present, you are the one that has to make sure you are as thorough as possible, that you are prepared and present everything as you should. Nothing regarding your superiors. They know what they expect from you and you are there to meet their expectations. If you half-ass your presentation, you are unlikely to meet them and depending on your field of operations, they won't always be willing to take a second chance to let you correct your mistakes on the first one.
I will read more than the first post if the subject is one I find requires so. If what was presented primarily encourages me to do so.
When you read an introduction, you proceed if you are interested in what is presented to you in that introduction. Obviously, if you decide not to continue, you might overlook corrections presented in the future, but if you go and read my first post, I made it clear I had no interest in anything other than what I adressed in that specific post and the non-sense I decided to focus my reply on. I could have tried to find any corrections the OP decided to make to that part of my interest, but I decided not to because there was no guarantee there even was one, and it is not my interest to waste time doing so because, again, that should have been made clear in the first post, which it wasn't.
And I should point out, you don't have to see yourself as the center of the universe to not want to waste time . You can have ridiculously high standards and expect those from others, even if they don't intend to meet them. I have no obligation to read the second chapter of a book, to read the second post of the OP or anything of that sort. The author has the obligation to present a reason why I should do so, me and anyone he wants to read them. I will read the second post or second chapter (and the rest of the book), if what is presented to me in the first one makes me want to do so. I thought that was how it worked for everyone, is it not how it works for you?
Do you actually just feel obligated to read everything that isn't presented to you properly? Do you actually just accept that someone presents to you a complaint framed just like every other complaint and hopes to pass it off as satire? You are free to do so, but my standards make me unable to do so.
Ok buddy I got your point - and then - you know what.... I took a set back to the OP and watched it again.., to read this sentence:
Speaking of which, Hunter needs nerf as well. Most broken class in game. How is Hunter balanced? Hero power is deal 2 damage to opponent's face. Warlock does same thing, but to HIMSELF?!?! HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE BLIZZARD?!?!
So letz break it down: If this isnt clear to you as Satire, if someone sets the Call for a 1/3 do nothing nerf, in addition to this Sentence
Then I come to the Conclusion, that you might be blind to satire, in all your Correctness about how the OP has to flag it as Satire!
THIS IS SOOO FUCKIN CLEAR, they could smash a Seat in your face - for real !
But its okay, there are People who are immune to satire, i know that, and its ok - that does not say anything about your intelligence or your high standards - it just shows, you are immune to satire - and thats fine. Look even great minds like DR. Sheldon Cooper didnt understand Satire (and yes i know hes not real, but you get my point do you?)
I think this guy is trying to get some sort of achievement for getting hundreds of responses to his post. Lets give him the attention he doesn't deserve.
Can we remove this post pls people are complaining about 1-/3 mole that is just beast nothing else
I think we need to nerf Hearthstone. In this game there are too many broken cards just like Dire Mole . Kappa
Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's mistake.
Dire Mole + Spikeridged Steed is a 7 mana Voidlord!!
Piloted Shredder, Knife Juggler, Mad Scientist, Dr. Boom
Need to be removed from this game

Dire Mole itself is not a problem, but part of a bigger problem of too many on curve strong neutrals that snowball out of control. IMO 1-drop 1/3s should either be restricted to being class cards or come with a downside.
