Dear Blizzard,

I read the new announcement made by Blizzard about the rotation today. While I totally can understand it (beeing a tcg veteran for over 20 years) I find it very hard that we are not allowed to disenchant our cards to full value. I do have golden Sludge Belchers, Kel, Webspinner, Mad Scientist, Loatheb, Duplicate, Voidcaller, Deathbite and probably more I can't remember.

This whole standard format was unannounced before. Usually, Blizzard allows a "full refund" on the dust invested when something changes. I basicly spend hundreds of Euros to get these cards golden. Yes, it was my decision, but it was made by the assumption (which was provided by blizzard) that I can play these cards in the decks I want. So I basicly bought booster packs to have enough dust for these cards to make em shiny. A mistake I will not make any more.

Adding a rotation will be very healthy for the game, but it will also result in the players moving forward to the standard format. New players don't need to worry about the old cards, meta will be fresh and more and more players will shift away from thge old sets. Especially as they can disenchant them for the new cards they need.

I humbly request a one time full dust disenchanting option. From now on, it will be clear, that the new expansion will rotate out. Otherwise I'm not sure if I can trust them any more, which will result in playing hearthstone full free. I know this probably still will be in their interest, but I hope it is not and they will show they community, that they will give in on this request. Many other players will feel the same.

Sincerely
Maik

They already got your money, so they don't care. But I feel you dude.

It would be an even bigger mistake to dust all your GvG cards just because you can't use them in standard ladder.

(Which is exactly what Blizzard wants you to do, so you have to go back and re-craft a bunch of them if you ever want to play Wild ladder or Tournaments)

You make very good points. Hopefully someone with some influence in Blizzard reads this.

You'll be able to play those cards in Wild, so they won't give you full dust price for those cards.

Whether you take big hit or not is up to you and your decision about playing wild.

I see the current format devalueing gold cards in general. If you know your cards are only playable temporarily, you are less likely to craft a full golden deck. I already made a thread and suggested to make up the disechant value of cycled out golden cards - it didn't get much feedback though: www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/103857

They surely won't do it. If they gave full dust disenchant nobody would buy more packs, just disenchant the cards from when a expansion goes away and put that dust into another one.

 This isn't true.

Also, I would like to have a 1 time only thing. After that we do know that a format like this exists. So my decision has all the information avalaible. This change is unheard of and while I agree that they only full refund on balance changes, this fits this category as well. They change how the game and the expansion system works dramatically!

feels bad, man. 

I started entertaining the idea of crafting golden cards. Not anymore!

From a business perspective, as well as a moral perspective, it's perfectly fine. You decided to not play in Wild with your goldens, you decided to craft useless goldens in the first place, why would Blizzard have to pay for your dumb decisions ?

 This isn't true.

 You should know what I meant. Golden decks are a very rare sight and people who craft them are more than likely to take the game seriously and want to play competively. And Blizzard is actively pushing the competitve scene to Standard.

 You can take the game seriously and want to play competitively, and still play in Wild mode. But you don't want to, for whatever silly reason based on your ego. You have no excuse.

There are two types of people on this thread: those getting ripped off, and those who don't know they're getting ripped off.  I've been playing, and getting other people to play, since the beta.  But if we don't get a one-time full disenchant, I'll be doing neither in the future.

You know what annoys me?

The people on the forums who say "WE WANT NEW FORMATS"

And then when it happened, thus giving them what they want: "OMG I FUCKING HATE YOU."

 No, the whole consensus of this thread is that we all do enjoy and love the new format idea and all, it just happens to hit us hard. A one time full dust option (for golden only) would clear anything up. After that we have full information.
