I received Lunara for free after completing a quest. I demand that Blizzard do the same for every other skin. Other, even easier methods may be used as well, winning a bunch of games was a bit time consuming for a cosmetic item after all.
I am also outraged by these bundles that I can freely choose to buy or not buy. OUTRAGED I SAY! Why should other people be able to spend their own money however they choose when I choose to play Hearthstone for free. Tempting me with reasonably priced bundles is a slap in the face.
You will continue to not receive any money from me Blizzard. I can only hope you recognize your mistake and give me(I suppose some other people as well)all your future content for free or else I might and go spend no money on some other game.
Shut ur whiny-ass up op. If ppl wanna waste extra 30 bux on cosmetic skin-- thats their prerogative; who are you to tell them not to buy it? Personally, i don't care much for it, so im happy pre-ordering the $50 bux bundle. So many of ur points are just subjective tripe, that u think are objective... but they're really not. I agree this game is expensive to continue playing, but that doesnt entitle you to tell ppl how to spend their money mate.
I dont have time to read all 100+ posts here, but from what i skimmed through, a lot of people are comapring this pre purchace to witchwoods, which was a ONE TIME PURCHACE deal.
Its not fair to compair a one time purchase deal with another one given its exactly that, a one time purchase.
Blizzard has their own choice on how to offer packs for less than normal and we have the choice to take it or not.
It's a lost cause OP. The shills and dipshits will buy this shit up in droves while fervently defending the practice while whining about the "whiners", and ActiBlizz will continue doing this since it will be a justified model.
There's a very good reason I haven't spent a dime on this game in over two years.
People aren't dipshits or shills just because they are willing to support a game company and buy more of their product. You have zero clue how card games work if you are willing to tell everyone they're stupid for buying cards or card packs. These bundles give players more value than the previous bundles. You shouldn't think poorly of them just because they want to continue supporting a game you clearly have no reason bothering with.

You need to wise the fuck up.
Hit the nail on the head. If you and I didn't spend money on this game there wouldn't be a reason for them to continue making it and offering the F2P model. Either buy it or don't people, it really is that simple.
The issue here is that a lot of all of this is subjective and opinion based. To say that pre-ordering is terrible, $80 is a ton of money, or that the bundle is a bad deal, etc., etc. is just an opinion. There is no authority that says who is right or wrong. One person feels that these bundles are completely reasonable and another thinks it is highway robbery. The truth is that these are only opinions and each person's feelings on them will be different depending on their circumstances. I personally don't mind that they offer extra content for those willing to pre-order a special bundle. How is this any different from "Collector Edition" versions of other games available for pre-order? That is a practice that has been around for two decades now.
At no point did Blizzard ever promise anyone the ability to get everything in Hearthstone via a free method. Blizzard never said definitively one way or another how alternate heroes would be introduced into the game. Some are paid, some are free via achievements, and some are acquired via a charity. Blizzard is not betraying anyone or acting in bad faith here because there was never any kind of officially established method they were going to introduce them. They are free to decide how to introduce new content into the game. If you don't like it, that's fair and you can choose to react accordingly with your wallet/time, etc., but to come at it from the opinion that Blizzard owes you something (in this case the ability to get an alternate hero skin) is pure entitlement. The game may be free to play, but that doesn't mean all content is free.
Finally, a voice of reason. I've been getting overworked here with all the heavy lifting I've been doing.
The man has a point. Blizzard shouldn't have to make everything free, and not all content should be equally attainable, nor should it all be free. Blizzard has to make money on its' game, which is why preordering with gold might never happen. You could argue that it should because WoW has tokens that can be purchased with gold that pay for a full month of time for the account. If Blizzard were to allow pre-orders with gold, do you think 10K would be about right, 7.5K or 5K? Either way, Blizzard doesn't have to comply with the public, and there's nothing wrong with that.
you know what would make a lot of players happy? smaller bundles of the same value.
So what you're really saying is reduce the price of the normal card packs. Since they are the smaller "bundles" you speak of.
So what you're saying is LITERALLY that you're a Blizzard shill? See, I can make ridiculous accusations and leaps in logic too!
I'm saying a $20 20-pack bundle would be awesome.
Yeah I guess spending money on a game I love and a company i support makes me a shill....
And sure, that'd be great. But where do you stop, do you do $20/50/80? do you do a $1 for 1 pack ratio the entire pre order? I like that it's a lot of packs because I like to open hundreds

Don’t go for it if it is not within your power. Let people pay if they want to pay and let the people who do not want to pay not pay :)
Up you go, + 1 :)
Haha "reasonably priced"
I wouldnt write this if this wasnt an obvious scam . People can act dumb if they want of course.
Choice A - expensive option (more expensive than WW)
Choice B - MOAR EXPENSIVE OPTION
