Wow. Not been back since page 1 and I've got to say this is hearthpwn distilled into a single thread. It kind of reminded me of the Manchester New year's eve photo in its ability to capture the whole experience in a single place.
This game is toxic trash which in turn invites toxic trash discussions. Trust me when I tell you this - every single person on this forum is better off quitting this game. That includes you. The reason I say so is because you're making excuses for shit within Hearthstone to reason with yourself that all of it is even worth it. You're in the trap. Hearthstone is addictive with the facade of being fun. It pings the dopamine only for you to lose. Nothing but a casino. You're in a room full of drug addicts making excuses for being drug addicts. I offer the escape. Quit the game now. You'll be happier.
Wow, thank you my Lord and Savior! You've completely opened my eyes about the nature of HS. Here, all this time, I thought that I've playing because I enjoy the game. But now, thanks to your brilliant insight, I know that I'm a junkie. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go to my Gamers Anonymous meeting.
I've heard that people who post on forums for games that they no longer play have a problem. You see, doing so gives these sad sacks a dopamine rush, but has a quick drop-off, which means people have to keep doing it. I offer the escape. Quit doing it. You'll be happier.
(Was that too toxic? Is being mean to toxic people toxic?)
Lol the HS community. You mean a pack of narcissistic kids who play Hearthstone just to piss other people off? That community? The same ones who think they're edgy and cool by posting https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/212005-group-therapy-need-to-blow-off-steam-mega-salty on every fucking topic that isn't kissing the game's ass? Or maybe the "git gud" mentally handicap crowd who think they are worth a step above dog shit because they let RNG win them games while emoting "Well Played"?
That community?
Yes, that one.
The same one that you seem to be part of, posting in here. Your tone and overall contribution to the topic is spot on.
Welcome!
Just because I've been lurking the forums for a while doesn't mean I still play the game. But you carry on, Mage player with your avatar from the soy trilogy.
Well, playing or not, that's your choice. But being a vocal participant of a game forum would make you part of the community.
See, I was being funny there, because the problem at hand is the community being unwell, and you popped in with a perfectly snarky comment about said community... so it seemed appropriate to just kinda lay it on thick in response.
Anyway, I will carry on, thank you.

You seem to hold yourself in far higher regard than other people clearly do. Just stop with the condecending "I know what is best for you', you don't, you can pretend like you're a real clever boy scout but you aren't.
What is worse? People playing a game you hate or you hanging around a forum, posting about a game you clearly hate? Really weird, like, why are you here?
I'm not addicted to hearthstone in the slightest, I play when I enjoy it, I don't play when I don't. Don't project your personal flaws onto other people.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Your addiction is speaking here. Please realize this.
I was thinking about the state of the HS community and it feels (to me) like over the previous year or so the community have became very whiny and self centred. It feels like a lot of people are constantly complaining about stuff that aren't really an issue. It almost feels like people will just complain and complain for their own selfish reasons - its like a large majority of the community won't be happy unless they get their own way and its so annoying. Everyone takes everything personally as well - you critique someone statement about a card/deck etc.. and even if you make valid points etc.. they will just attack you personally.
Tickatus is a good example of this. People constantly complain about the card - yet the stats would indicate it isn't OP. So why are people complaining about it? Is it because the deck they want to play doesn't perform well against it so it feels OP to them but they will happily ignore a hard counter to it (probably because that's not the class they want to play). But try to tell someone that and it becomes an insult trading ground.
I just feel like so many are ignorant to the fact that this is a meta based game and not every deck archetype is going to be viable at any given time but people aren't happy with that, they want to play their favourite decks all of the time and they want to be able to wreck every other deck with it (stupidity).
Its like with the DoL stuff, everyone was complaining about the card (and rightly so), yet you would still have a barrage of people defending it (despite statistical evidence proving that it is OP) and most likely defending it only because they like playing the deck and don't want to see it nerfed. Its just stupid because we all know and use Hsreplay - we can all check stats of the cards to see how strong they are etc.. but some people will just ignore those things out of selfishness really.
People just take things way too personally. Its like I'm criticising a point you've made, I'm not insulting your identity. Half of this community are just a bunch of self entitled pussies who cant take any criticism and won't ever be happy until everything goes there way. What happened to the days when the whole community felt like we all together? Yeah, we used to fight like cat and dog over whether cards were good or not etc.. but it was always in good fun, no one took personal offence to things and in the end we could generally all agree on what cards should be nerfed/buffed etc.. These days we couldn't be any further from that.
Just curious what other peoples thoughts on this are, do you agree that the community is in a poor state?
It is mainly because the defenders of blizzard launch personal attacks against anyone who is critical of the game. When you attack the intelligence and character of anyone who questions blizzards design decisions, you get this community.
A post which is complaining about people complaining and attacking people personally (calling them pussies) who attack people personally. Sounds like you are part of the problem.
The only reasonable thing I have readed in the entire salty 4.0 post. Too many people wanting to be right in their own way and benefict just makes me want to BM all of them with a 2-hour Hostage Shaman deck.
Good lord, this thread has been a roller coaster ride. After reading the initial post, seeing the inevitable downward spiral, & eventually, the full & total collapse of anything resembling an actual discussion...I can’t help but laugh at the irony of it all.
This thread is the HS community in microcosm. A sublime tragedy.
It’s the gen z whiney participation trophy kids... everyone is mean, everything is hurtful, everyone is allergic to everything and they deserve special treatment because of their frailties. Good luck fixing what natural selection was prevented from killing off.

There is a question though to be asked. Why is the 'community' this type of microcosms. Is it just a reflection of its rulers? Indeed card design is fundamentally authoritarian. No democracy here. No choosing of its leaders through elections. Devs are authoritarian...with a smile though as it it 'just' a game. They print cards as they like and by doing so teach young people how to be repulsive and have fun about it.
Compare Hearthstonia with actual authoritarian ruled states and you'll see the resemblance. 'soft' values like balance and diversity are equally suppressed or covered with window dressed propaganda. You see the same mechanics in states like China, Russia, Hungary, Poland. States run by authoritarian leaders. Its citizens also devided into two groups. Pro and contra the regime.
On fora like these the two groups collide. Nothing special. Devs print with they like - they are authoritarian after all - mostly favor the defenders of their regime.
Be glad you don't live in Hearthstonia.
