But if I were to make an estimation.. I'd say between 2000-5000, unfortunately.
I wish I had never touched the game or at the very least remained F2P. But then again, I would have wasted my money on something else.. so perhaps spending it on HS was a decent choice.
What you see right here are just golden cards
Oh my that is an expensive collection! If I were to win the lotto or somehow being a multimillionaire/billionaire, I would probably obtain an entire golden collection. And before you say I'm the type of winner that would be broke in a year, no I wouldn't. I'd buy packs with dividends earned from the winnings.
But yes, I'd create tier 10 decks in full gold just to mess with peoples minds.
Bro I have been doing that for the past 2 months, playing with full gold decks that make no sense just because i want the golden coin in my hand! I wish they introduce an "All Gold Mode" if you pay2win then whatever it doesn't matter but most people will have crappy decks, because having 30 good golden cards for a tier 1 deck is damn expensive and justifiable for a game mode that is casual
I wish there was a save replay feature to show you the action of kicking around optimised decks in wild like odd paladin, even shaman and cube lock.
Now regarding the OP, I too have spent a lot (2 accounts one for me and the wife) but no more after this rotation as we both have a lot of gold saved and as many have mentioned it is not worth it anymore. The difference you get is a few more legendaries and epics but rares and commons are easily covered by the saved gold. Plus this rotation is gonna be generous with dust refunds
Uhm... Started in June 2016, ~1300€. That's counting RoS pre-order and the Amazon coins to buy the full adventure and the 10 packs bundle. Considering I won't spend any other money on it until the expansion after RoS that's 433 € per year, which is not too bad considering HS is the only game I play. Hell, I used to play yugioh and 450 € was the value of a single deck (yes, i know, you get to keep phisical cards, but online you can play muuuuuuch more) .
Im ~ 150.000 dust away from a full collection (90.000 away counting golden cards, dust saved and upcoming refund from HoF)
Been playing pretty much every day since Sep. 2014, buying all the pre-orders and adventures and special offers, but rarely buying packs. So I think I'm in the $500-$1000 range. Worth every penny, for all the entertainment it's given me.
455 EUR - 100 EUR (won using Playvig application during the last year) = 355 EUR since beta (November 2013), approximately 60 EUR/year. I got every standard/wild meta deck but I have also completed the most rewarding single quest every day since then. And of course I got every freebie.
In my case it is not about the money but the time spent. How many hours I have spent playing this game? On the order of thousands.
Fun fact: A six year relationship with a girlfriend is a lot more expensive than 355 EUR.
A lot. Over $2,000 for sure. I went through a phase before rotations were announced where I thought it would be a great idea to craft myself golden versions of all the good cards in the game so things like Loatheb, Thaurassian, Shredder's, Nerubian Eggs, Doomsayers, Thalnos, Harrison Jones, Tirion, Tony, Maly, Alex, Azure Drakes, Zombie Chow, Haunted Creeper's, Muster, Mad Scientists, Belchers, Ice Blocks, Imp Gang Boss, Defender of Argus, Minibots... you get the point. I carried on for a while after rotation crafting some golden versions of cards I loved / that changed the game like Yogg, Reno, Kazakus, Living Mana, Tunnel Trogg, Totem Golems, 4 MANA 7/7s, Keeper of Uldaman, Netherspite Historian, Lich King, etc . Anyway, all that sillyness came to an end one day when I thought Blizzard had charged me twice for packs that I bought but it turned out that I had actually bought more than I thought. Oops. I looked through my order history and yikes! Couldn't believe how much I had spent on the game.
Now, the golden dream is over and I just play with boring normal cards. First world problems.
I voted $200-$500, I'm not quite sure about the actual amount though, as I've generally been trying to use Blizzard Balance earned from World of Warcraft tokens, and didn't really start using any sort of money till like Whispers of the Old Gods.
Close to $2000 over the past 4 years (started just before TGT release); works out to be a dollar a day. No biggie, I'm having fun.
I don’t disagree with your conclusion, but where the hell do you live? Not familiar with a calendar with 500 days per year
So was $1.37 really worth nitpicking?
37% off is quite considerable I’d say.... That being said, the question was not sarcastic, there are several calendars out there with wildly different days in a year.
Easily spent 10k or more because at one point i obsessed about golden cards, and i could afford it. Later on, i stopped caring about golden cards and now im disenchanting them whenever i get a regular card. Lesson learned.
Easy. 5€ welcome bundle no. 1 + 5€ welcome bundle no.2 + 20€ for Blackrock Mountain expansion ( the last one I needed to have them all, and was the moment I realized that it was better to pay for PvE expansions and spend gold on packs. So 30€ in 3 years. Not helping Activision scheemes myself.
I want to thank people that buy some packs every expansion cause they also pay for all the F2P players like myself. I also want to beg whales to wake up and stop supporting excessive corporate greed that we've seen lately from Activision. ( Btw: I consider whales people that spend over 150€ per expansion. But not judging them, I myself have a few friends in this situation. I belive that if more people showed more moderation there would be more incentive for the devs to improve the game.
In contrast with the old adventures l don't like the new payed PvE content system for this expansion, 2800 gold for 15 packs and probably a meme legendary is quite bad. 20€ is decent but I'll feel bad for supporting this aproch. I hope the gameplay itself to be fenomenal and really see that my money are used to develop fun game modes.
what i really want to make clear here, you don't need to buy any packs with real money. it's completely unnecessary, i rarely even play the game at all anymore. maybe earn 80 gold a day maximum and when i look at my collection - the card amount is the same or even more than from the expansion i bought money packs from. the only difference is + 3 to 5 legendaries more and a couple more epics. cards that don't see play regardless.
please just stop wasting your money on cards that have 0 real world value, just glorified pixels. thanks!
You do realise that if everyone listened to you and noone spent nay money on the game, it would generate zero revenue and just shut down?
Free to play players are fine but when they start lecturing people about funding a game that then enables them to play for zero cost, I lose a lot of respect for them as a person
Same with people who are 'proud' they've never spent a penny. Congratulations on being a free loader.
To answer the op, probably around £100/£150, I started playing when koft had been out for a bit.
I'm here today to share some economic consideration with you, who have not presented a rational view of things.
First off, cross-marketing. When you're in the B.net client loading up your game of Hearthstone, what surrounds you are other games that profit Blizzard - from their point of view it doesn't matter which Blizzard game you spend money on, as long as it's a Blizzard game. The B.net client itself acts as consistent advertising and environmental encouragement toward their desires.
Second off - content cross-branding. You may have noticed that the content of Blizzard games cross-brand to a ridiculous degree. Many Hearthstone cards, for example, are taken from World of Warcraft. They learned this technique (and others) from the father of modern media and animation capitalism, Disney. What this does is, to an extent, teach the player different Blizzard games while playing one, and deepening their appreciation for Blizzard lore, thus encouraging them to play multiple Blizzard games.
Third off - the value of time and attention. Any time a player spends in a Blizzard game is not time spent doing something else, such as playing the game of a competitor. That player then talks to his friends about the Blizzard game, and while he himself may spend $0 on Blizzard games his friend may end up spending thousands. This is called Market Share, and it doesn't require payment from everyone in the market.
Is it a waste of money if you enjoy yourself?
About 5$ since release (bought 10 classic packs during promotion only to get Al'Akir, because it was the only class legendary I was missing).
too much to count, too little to care.
Dead but dreaming
I dont know the ecact number. I clicked 200-500. Then shamefully clicked 500-1000
If you have a deck idea might as well go full ham on it.
Preorders and some packs, so it may be around $1000 per 5 years, $200 per year, $15 monthly. Hearthstone is my main game.
--Alfi--
0. Once I wanted to buy welcome bundle for 5$, but blizzard shop said, that the minimal amount of money I can pay is 10$.
I cursed them and didn't pay anything.

only one hero skin at the start of which the earnings went to charity
Over 500 euros. I buy each preorder and put some money in to get my collection up to date.
