Lets discuss the changes to the Fire Festival. ¿Would you rather have double the gold from quest, or 1 card pack of a previous expansion?
In my opinion I would rather have double the gold, instead of a pack of a expansion I have alerady topped the pity timer so I know I'm not getting a legendary from it. Also I can choose where to spend the extra gold.
I would definetely take the option of seing a salty thread each day about the change, because my collection is ok, but i can choose to put that fresh salt either in a delicious meal or in the complainer's wounds

It's worth noting that double gold is actually more valuable in this instance than a card pack from a previous expac. The lowest amount of gold you would receive from a double-gold quest is going to be 100g (for a 50g quest) - with th possibility of up to 200g.
With 100g, you could buy a single pack from ANY expansion, which alread makes it more valuable. So the point here is that few people would be likely to select the pack option, since the gold already gives them that with the addition of a chance for even better value.
Are the quests live from today? Had three normal ones, and wondered og I missed any legend ones?
They will be live in the late evening today (if you are in Europe) 22-00 in Moscow, for example. You will get the legendary quest that moment. So make sure you have a free slot for it
- 400 gold, 1 Witchwood pack, 2 Boomsday packs, 1 Rumble pack and 3 Rise of Shadows packs from the legendary quest chain (source)
And that's not counting the card back, since it only has cosmetic value. In short, we're getting much more than '1 card pack of a previous expansion', as you're claiming. A pack is worth 100 gold, so from the legendary quest alone we're getting the equvalent of 1100 gold.
I'm sure a lot of people would prefer the gold straight up to spend on the new expansion, but for a lot of players - especially more casual ones that are not necessarily optimizing their gold - a quest chain that is guaranteed to be available for the duration of the event might actually result in a net gain compared to double gold.
But I totally understand those that would rather have double gold. Personally, I'm just happy that the Fire Festival is more engaging and flavourful this year.

Except you're only getting 50 gold extra (most of the time) from double gold, whereas with a card pack you still get the 50g from your daily quest. So you get 150g worth of value with the card pack. Am I interpreting the question wrong? How did 90% of the people here choose 50 extra gold over a card pack worth 100g?

I think you may be misunderstanding the choice (or maybe all the rest of us are?). The choices are replacing the quest reward, so it's not an extra pack on top of the 50g from the quest. Its either a pack OR double the regular gold amount.
That's how I read it anyway - and assume others are too.

It's just that he's talking about the fire festival and that's how this festival is working. This year we are getting the card pack quests on top of the daily quests.
Double gold ofcourse, worst quest then would be 100g still which equals one pack AND lets you choose which pack. Also for arena players. And during double gold it even worked on the 80g quest! Fk Blizz.
So far the rewards for me have been super fantastic. I'm not lucky with packs usually, but from those free pack i got: Shudderwock, golden The Storm Bringer, golden epic and 4 other epics. Literally every pack had at least an epic.
I don't belive it's just luck and suppose those extra packs were intentionally tuned by blizzard.
What do you guys think about this? How were your packs?
I have received a grand total of 1 x Epic card from the Fire Festival packs so far. I don't think they are intentionally tuned. ^_^ Unless Blizzard hates me, of course... lol
I personally believe that there is just an incredibly low chance of getting a legendary from opening only one pack... I have opened hundreds if not thousands of free packs singly from quests and brawls Etc. and I can count on one hand how many legendaries I got that way.

Double gold cause I wanna invest.

Its very clear that double gold is much better option, you can choose the any exp pack with your reward...
this is how you beat Secret Paladin https://hsreplay.net/replay/tpiEfrm7HGJRSUaSCfArF3

I don't know if it is intentional, but you're being misleading. In total, this is what we're receiving from the Fire Festival this year:
- Three Saviors of Uldum packs from the Tavern brawls (much better than the usual Classic packs)
- Three golden cards: Recurring Villain, Bronze Herald and Rafaam's Scheme, totalling 180 dust (assumig you are able to obtain them by beating the brawls within the time limits)
- 400 gold, 1 Witchwood pack, 2 Boomsday packs, 1 Rumble pack and 3 Rise of Shadows packs from the legendary quest chain (source)
And that's not counting the card back, since it only has cosmetic value. In short, we're getting much more than '1 card pack of a previous expansion', as you're claiming. A pack is worth 100 gold, so from the legendary quest alone we're getting the equvalent of 1100 gold.

That thread is stupid.. why would anyone want 1 pack instead of double gold.
Cheers :)
Almost every post by this guy is some form of complaint.
For me personally, the rewards are minimal. We're seeing some new things here that, being honest, do keep me intrigued: -
I think I'd take these over the double gold quite happily.
Golden Hero Collections thus far; -
Europe: Druid, Hunter, Paladin, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior (9/9)
Americas: Druid, Mage, Paladin Shaman (4/9)
Everywhere else: Workin on it.. (0/9)
