There it is again, you have an issue with something in hearthstone and decide to go to the forums and comment on it. Perhaps you are looking for feedback, perhaps you are just curious to see if you aren't alone with the issue, or perhaps it's a legitimate concern.
You make your post and then the same old troll comments come out:
- Go to the salt threads with this! - Stop playing if you don't like it!
Follow this up with the typical responses of:
- I do fine why can't you - Play XYZ deck if you are having issues - The meta/deck/class is fine - learn to play
It's rather sad the feedback from players in the community. In an online community and game where it's the players who are the arbiters of what's fun, broken, fair, and obnoxious.
Yet here you come 'Player - I know more than you', 'Player - righteous indignation', and 'Player - I think your post is pointless'. With no regard to understanding or common decency you throw your disdain and criticism at the OP. Your computer screen or phone screen as your shield and armor protecting you from having to be a decent person and giving you false pretense and permission to spew verbal vomit.
If a player suggests a plausible change to the game, it's ignored the majority of the time, or shunned.
If a player gathers as much data as they are capable of, they are told it's not bi-partisan or biased.
If a player put's forth both sides of an issue, they are met with highly polarized or highly focused retorts on a single topic in the post.
I understand that we all have the right to state our peace, but that is the part that the majority of this community are missing out on, stating our "PEACE" - you bring so much venom, chaos, and selfishness to these threads.
It's no wonder Blizzard hardly reacts to community involvement...
Be civilized, be constructive, work together to create a better play experience. Let's show blizzard that the community has the power to affect change and bring about the game-play that is deserved.
Stop tearing each other down just because you need to feel better about yourself. This isn't a High school popularity contest...
You might find it strange but although I agree with you, you forget one thing. Blizzard itself makes a game that through its card design is highly politicized into camps and groups. Blizzards itself print cards that favor a target audience resulting in a aggressive, virtually absent skill meta. It calls it fun and if you're not part of that bloodline, you're going to complain of sorts. The respons to that is usually venom and other obnoxious comments.
Another example of Blizzard inducing rage is the absent of autosquelch. We all know rage is it's object so you keep playing to get rid of it. It would be a decent thing to do to. But no, stimulating people to BM is Blizzards way.
So, your post is cute, ineffective but cute. Maybe you should redirect your post to the devs.

We make our world significant through the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers.
I agree that collectively, we could all be a lot kinder, smarter and in general more productive with our comments online.
I'm afraid that this kind of statement will fall on deaf ears, though. The people that really need to hear this won't listen and may even lash out in the ways that you've described.
I've also come to understand that there are just so many people out there, all with their own unique point of view, that it would be impossible to unite everyone in an effort to make things better because some people, they just like it this way. There will always be the audience that will continue to buy products and support a company for their own reasons, such that said company is not likely to make changes for the people that ask for it, unless that voice is coming from the majority.
@Hooghout "IF" the player base were to unite (or at least a large portion of it) then there would be a better chance of our collective voices being heard.
I also appreciate the use of my signature in your response :)
True. The unity of the French Revolution gave us democracy and the trias politica's. The unity of the east-Germans brought the wall down. The unity of BLM brought changes (I hope). A unity in Hearthstone... on fora like these.... ? . I would suggest to unite HS-satellites like HS-replay to organize a representative body of players with enough weight to end the divide and rule Blizzard does with a smile.
If people see winning and losing not on the basis of the right mindless deck, due to steep RPS, but simply based on their skill level, they'd accept outcomes better. Now the mindless frenzy of buff, burn, charger and summon causes rage. The focus on interclass balance is paramount in this respect.
You're welcome on the signature department. I compliment you on your eloquent writing.

@Hooghout
I have posted this same thing on the Blizzard forums in an attempt to bring it forward as well there.
And indeed Blizzard has made the game politicized, targets specific audiences, and it's overall inaction to limit the BM capabilities of players.
However, the larger fact here is that as players, we hold their paycheck in our hands.
"IF" the player base were to unite (or at least a large portion of it) then there would be a better chance of our collective voices being heard.

That's what happens when 95% of a fanbase is toxic shit.
