I just watched the new hearthstone mathematics video on a new rewards system being added to the game. It is said to replace quests entirely and the ability to earn gold. It's all going to be replaced with battle passes but will be, apparently, super expensive! I don't play battlegrounds and will never care for it. I quit before it was added to hearthstone and therefore don't know anything about it.
I'll link the video here, hoping the link works, but I can't find the original article or video announcing this. Standard blizzard nowadays, wanting more money from a FREE TO PLAY GAME!
There is no official post or video announcing these things because there is none. Despite the video being extremely suggestive that this is all set in stone, it actually isn't. The points it discusses are taken form a survey, but the points outlined in the survey are not necessarily what we are going to get, just a model of what the new system might be like.
What we do know, is that the developers want to change the reward system (announced with Year of the Phoenix), and from what the survey suggests, it will be like a Battle Pass system. I think that much is relatively safe to assume, just because Battle Passes are a feature that a lot of games try to implement now.
However, it doesn't necessarily mean that Gold, or Gold rewards for wins, or Arena rewards, or even daily quests, will be removed, and assuming as much at this point is little more than pure speculation mixed with cynicism that the worst outcome is the most likeliest (AKA "Bli$$ard want MO MONEY!!1"). The battle pass would most likely replace the current system, instead of just supplementing it, but which parts of it, to what extent, in what way, shape or form, is unknown.
Feel free to take it with a grain of salt, but developer Ben Lee has stated in an AMA that the new reward system is not meant to be less rewarding than the current one, and that the new system is not meant to undermine their recent efforts to make the game more affordable, which, in all fairness, have been pretty decent (new pack system, new ladder rewards, free deck for new/returning players, seasonal events). Maybe he's stretching the truth, maybe not. We don't know yet.
And as the terminology apparently confuses you, the possible Battle Pass has nothing to do with Battlegrounds. There might be (more) rewards for playing Battlegrounds in the new system, but you are (probably) not getting forced to play it now.

Yeah, I was confused why he was talking about the new/upcoming? Battle Pass and Battlegrounds O_o
BTW, I believe HS has been "dead" since Beta. I also play other digital card games and (based on their forums) they are also dying.

I hope they wont remove gold and quest, but I also believe it would be stupid to do so. I know call of duty warzone isn't the same Genre, but they still have quests.
I said at the beginning of this year that blizzard has stopped trying to grow their game and is instead focused on extracting as much money as they could from their current addicts. You will see this in their efforts to extract more money from paying customers and to drive f2p's from the game, or force them to convert to paying customers. The amount of obfuscation blizzard will employ to disguise this will be impressive, but at the end, f2p players will not be able to get more than 50 or so packs at the release of an expansion, if you also include paying for standalones in gold, the number is much less.
So for a player like me who has been f2p for years, I will no longer be able to manage my resources and compete in the game. I will be forced to pay, leave or just be an irrelevant troll. This may actually be a good thing as blizzard has systematically eliminated skill from the game already, and finding a better game to waste my time on may be the way to go. The problem is that i suspect that other card games employ many of the same toxic mechanisms blizzard does, so my search for a new time waster may be fruitless.
Well i made a tread way back and i saw a lot people defending it. Like WAY more than it should. They want to appear more generous by increasing a reward but they are still way too small; they should be more generous if they want for a transitions to progress smoothly. Like hook and line.
Yes, it's bullshit, but it's not final version, we will wait until release. if it will be the same, then we ll can rage:D
Then it will be late. Just watch a vid. Common marketing tactic. They relese a shit and its stingy; We rage. They up an ante a bit and we love em for being generous. Like its so cheap it hurts.
They already said that it wouldn't impact how accessable the game is and how f2p players can operate. They said that they went a long way to making the game give better rewards and more opportunities for f2p and don't have any intention on rolling those back.

So chill time...
oh well, if they said it. We should just believe what they say....baaaa baaaa baaaaa

Yeah the more reasonable thing is to throw a tantrum about something we have no information about. You could just wait, see what the system is and if its poor, stop playing the game. You imbeciles act like yirue forced to play this game. What kind of a simpleton keeps ploughing time into a game they have such clear disdain for, including the design team?
This place is a joke, it isn't the site owners faults, they can't control who visits but it's an utter cesspool of absolute morons. I'd imagine 90% of the users haven't had a proper job yet. I've already massively limited how often I come on and every time I do I almost immediately leave because it has one of the poorest, most entitled, least intelligent communities I think I've ever come across. There are some really good posters and the site is useful for information but you lot really are going to drive any reasonable debate or discussion completely away from the site.
Crazy thing is you would probably prefer it that way. Idiots enjoy the company of idiots I guess. Decent site, shame its so horrendously represented by the majority if its user base.
I've been playing less and less over the years, but I still keep coming back every few days or so.
However, no more, finally, here's the perfect reason to quit for good. And this time once and for all. Can't wait.
Exactly what I mean. What a pathetic thing to say, just quit then, you bed wetting cretin. You must lack any form of self control if you're that desperate to stop playing the game but can't until they do something like this.
Children, honestly.

It has not been announced officially yet, so those things can very well change before they release it.

My battle tag is Fely#.... Can you find all the digits after the #. They're hidden amongst my profile, it's like an easter egg hunt.

its confirmed... that battle pass will come... its not confirmed how it will look yet
That video analyzes an early battlepass draft used in a survey. It won't be the final version.
I hope that Blizzard isn't insane to make the game more expensive when they are under pressure from competitors.
And I do hope that playing 1 hour of battlegrounds and 1 hour of constructed will give the same amount of rewards.
Hearthstone mathematics is click bait doomsaying bullshit.
Agreed, if you have a look to the comments they say that it will not replace Gold.
Oh my, one of those videos again...

i also dont play battlegrounds /just dont understand it/
but these "battle passes" remind me of fortnite reward system .... i hope blizzard to dont realise it
