So, people are going to complain again, I can taste it. Even though this bundle is the same cost as a normal bundle and has a hero, something only in the mega bundle before, which even then wasn't bad. Sure, it's a paywall. For a cosmetic. For a cosmetic. For a cosmetic.
It legitimately does nothing other than give you more ego-points.
I'm not trying to harp on this, I just want people to realize they're not stealing money from you or reducing the value. They're not, they even added a more affordable option at $20. If you don't want to pay the $50 for the skin or can't, don't sweat it. I certainly didn't with the Hallow! Hallow! bundle, even though I'm a collector of things.
My point is simple. You can argue, but the way I see it, and will see it, is that this is fine and there's nothing to complain about.... in this regard. Whether or not the expansion will be good or not is to be seen.
That they added a budget preorder option for the first time is proof they're being conscientious about F2P players, which is progress. It's a good thing. That being said your post is a bit combative and seems to show a personal bias, but your point has validity so there it is. I think generally these kind of posts intensify hostile attitudes towards F2P, a pre-emptive strike so to speak.

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.

Fair enough, I started off somewhat aggressive when it came to my mood while writing it, and became more lax after a bit and thinking about it - though, idk if that's reflected in the post itself. I agree, the budget pre-order is great, and it's a big step towards the right direction. Hopefully other people realize that too.
Meh for 20 dollars I will be getting a few hundred cards for Artifact and enjoy something that isn't going to be as stale as a 5 year old box of cereal only a month after release. Have fun playing defender for cosmetic sales and Blizzard taking advantage of people's obvious want to collect things in a collectible card game. Clearly a more compelling endeavor than playing HS itself.
I'd say the hero and card back are, technically, though I don't think it's a bad thing.
Yeah the people who really want the hero and the card back tend to be collectors anyway. I'm glad they are just pushing a 50 dollar bundle instead of the 80 dollar one since I felt like it could easily open a flood gate of a lot of other stuff.

I don't have something witty about this deck, I just like it because Malygos is fun.

I don't even play the game, I'm just defending this. I'm not defending the game as a whole - I just don't think they should be thrown under the bus for something that isn't bad.

Why do you still read the forums and/or post here if you don't like HS anymore? You're one of the names that I see over and over again complaining about Hearthstone, yet here you are posting. I play Magic: Arena and HS; I've tried other card games, but I don't play them anymore. I don't post on these other card games' forums because, as I just said, I don't play their games anymore!
I started playing HS in 2014 and still find it very enjoyable. That is my opinion. You state your opinion as though it is fact. It's not...it's just YOUR opinion. Enjoy taking a ride on the Artifact "Bandwagon". I'm sure that Artifact will end up replacing HS....just like Gwent, Shadowverse, Eternal, Magic, TESL, Faeria, ...
Even though this bundle is the same cost as a normal bundle and has a hero, something only in the mega bundle before, which even then wasn't bad.
The bundle is not same as normal bundle. My shop says for 49.99 you get 40 cards for any other bundle. The pre-order is 50 cards + hero + card back for 49.99.

while I am a bit saddened that they#re not doing free heroes anymore...what did you expect. They've been reassessing the ways to hand out hero skins for a while. First was just buying them, which barely anyone did, because it was stupid. Then they did it via several promotions, which people got upset about because it wasn't available to everyone. Then they just gave some of them away for free, either because they knew nobody would bother to pay for them, or because they couldn't think of anything else.
Finally, they're releasing them as part of pack bundles, basically giving them away for free to anyone who was going to buy a preorder anyways (after complaints about mEcha Jaraxxus it seems they reduced the size and cost to regular preorder). I'm fine with that. I'm not gonna buy the bundle because I don't need it, so i#m not gonna get the skin, which I also do not need.
If anyone really wants this skin then they should damn well be willing to pay for it

When exactly did "selling something" become "locking something behind a paywall"?

*Pre-emptive defence of bundles that no one has even complained about yet*

They are literally the exact same thing. Your milk at the grocery store is locked behind a $5 paywall. Riot!
Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP
How about we just accept people have different opinions and not open a hate thread?
Hate =/= telling someone they're wrong
What outrage? Im done spending money on the game. Announce away.
It had to be said, and well said it was.

I meant normal pre-order bundle.

I tried having fun once. It was awful.

Those were bonuses, not new standards.
