the other thing that ppl don’t get is that you play among equals, if everyone gets 150 legendaries for free, you will still be playing against the same decks as everyone will get the same rewards.
the problem is not the less gold, the problem is that blizzard have made people believe that getting gold to buy a pack will make them stronger players without realising that the same wI’ll apply to everyone else.
Uhm I think people just want to be able to play more than one deck friend. (hopefully) nobody thinks that making a deck with as many legendary cards as possible will give them sky high winrates. What they do is find a cheap aggro deck to craft, so that they can klimb on latter and get better rewards. This is also a call for more diverse match-ups.
It never ceases to amaze me. I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about. My only complaint about the new progressive system is the single pack rewards instead of gold once you get into the teen or event above level twenty in some spots...to me gold is always more valuable than 40 dust.
Other than that though I dig the new system. I still feel so bad for poor rogue class as they still can't get no new hero skins (poor Veelera and Maieve, they so lonely).
But of course I also have a day job so, budgeting isn't as nearly as big an issue for me as for the F2P's.
Sorry but I just have to break down some numbers before I go. 1 pack = 100dust on average (look it up if you want). So yes 100 g is a lot more than 40 dust (which you at least sort of seem to feel). The fuss is about 1-2K less gold, which counts for most players who didn't get the battle pass and who plays 1+ hours a day with slow decks. I don't think anybody complains that they wont grind every legend out for free, but 80€ is a lot for 1/3 of 1/3 of a game that expires in 16 months. Regarding the system: Once you reach level 25+ it starts to feel grindy and a lot of players feel dissatisfied without the little rewards every day.
Peace!
btw: Valeera looks way too badass for blizzard to even dare making new skins ;) (aside from the level50 crap XD)
Hearthstone has headed in the wrong direction. For me that was the last expansion I invested money in. You have to think about it:
For 400 € you don't even have all the cards in one year. WoW = 80 € premium version Playtime = 320 € are 24 months Overwatch = 40 € play for free no ingame Scamm
it's really a shame what hearthstone is doing here
I don't normally buy into naysaying like this but as a recent convert to free to play I could get 9000G between expansions just from 10g for 3 wins, give or take...not including quests. Now my gold maximum is around 6000G TOTAL and it is A LOT more work. No thank you, I guess I'm a battleground and duels only player. Hell at this point MTG is cheaper and they're, like, the standard for expensive.
I'm trying to stop playing the game these days. We have to stop playing, stop paying, stop watching events and streamers, and keep harassing them. Then maybe they'll consider doing something significant.
I hate to say it, but i have to agree. This is the first expansion i did not invest any penny (normally i buy the 80$ bundle), but the last expansion i totally lost the will to play.
This is exactly what I think / did.
First time in YEARS that I didn't pre-order the 80 packs.
My bottom line is: If there's no chance I can get a substantial collection of cards without spending more money than what I'm comfortable with, I'm not buying at all.
Thankfully there are some outright broken decks in Wild right now, so I can still have fun without buying new packs.

i just call that bullshit. only gold, without packs and legendaries in the pass, is 5500. it is known, that only from daily and weekly quests, you can complete the pass. I really don't understand, how you get a maximum of 6k gold with the new system as a high volume player. If you're a high volume player, like you said, you get way further than level 50, which earns you a lot of extra gold.
this guy gets it.
sad to see Hs go away
Smaller preorder every exp from WotOG is what they got from me. Maybe I will preorder SMALL bundle next expansion, maybe...
EU 11/2015+ , f2p 03/2021+: DK 63 / DH 205 /Dr 277 / Hu 733 / Ma 6666 / Pa 1072 / Pr 1165 / Ro 1791 / Sh 1303 / Wl 707 / Wr 664

pls explain
Since the new system arrived, I gave up playing ranked....I mostly play brawls now, just for fun...no grinding and playing against toxic aggro decks.
In this way I keep playing, but for many many many hours less than before.
Last annoying things are the missions or achievements, which are not working on casual or brawl -.-
