I think this is my first fire festival since the rewards track system and holy shit look at this graph from the past, they could at least give us double xp on quests. I hate how this game is all about selling bundles now
I deleted it once I got to the mandatory mercenaries. They could offer 100 packs and I still won't play that garbage.
Honestly took like 7 minutes to do it and I don't even play the mode.
Ignore this dude. He has this bizarre need to make a big show of how much he hates mercenaries, every chance he gets. The fact that it takes literally no effort makes no difference to him.

Just checked his comment history and all he does is bitch and moan. Hard to believe he sticks around if he hates the game so much.
Rewards may be worse, but calling a company greedy for giving less free stuff in their product is like calling your roommate greedy for only letting you drink some of his milk instead of all of it.
Damn, I almost forgot that fire festival was more than a couple of packs back in the day. I also love the Mercenaries Pack = 0 value. Highly accurate. Stop pushing the game mode that died before launch.
"mercenaries quest takes only 7 minutes" - maybe if you've already played that crap and have a bunch of leveled up characters.
They really don't take long and generally all mercenaries quests are easy to do.
However, you shouldn't be forced to do quests unrelated to Hearthstone to get Hearthstone resources. Battlegrounds falls under the same criteria but nobody complains because people actually love the mode, yet they should complain about that, too.
Yeah.. ever since the rewards tracker released, it was VERY obvious that accumulating gold would take excessively longer. Sure, you get more gold at the beginning of the rewards tracker than the previous system of 80/100/150 gold quests, but from level 20/30 onwards, you get less and less gold, exponentially. Instead of getting 80-150g a day, you're getting a maximum 50g per day.
On top of that, the annual events have been seeing less and less rewards, and pushing quests that no one gives a fuck about. I only play standard and the occasional tavern brawl, with Arena rarely depending on what quests I have. Battlegrounds, I just launch and do something else. Mercenaries, I have to brainlessly attack, but I have to be their, which is annoying. I had way more fun actively trying to complete relevant quests, than what I'm doing today. It's boring tbh.
To give perspective, when I first started playing, when a new set is released, I'd have around 6k-8k gold saved up. Over the years it got less and less, especially with the rewards tracker. Now I can barely get just above 2k, as the miniset takes away 2k, and I play this game religiously, completing all weeklies and optimizing dailies.
Though, at least Tavern Brawl gives you standard packs now weekly, with the rare current set pack.
I deleted the quest once I got to mercenaries too, fu#$ this garbage mode. I don't even know what the fu#$ contracts are and I don't even care to search about it. I already have 1 portrait of warrior, I don't need more of this garbage reward.
Isn't it what we wanted? blizzard clearly said that they first made reward track with big event reward planed. Everyone complained and they changed it giving more rewards on the track and REMOVING EVENTS BIG REWARDS.

I am mainly a Battlegrounds player, but I can agree with your logic on this one. At least they didn't put Duels in there. If it weren't for Mercenaries being the absolute garbage that it is, then Duels would be the worst thing in Hearthstone.

Wow it really has just gotten worse every year

It's even worse...

You can just do they very first normal bounty 3 times. Easily done with level 1 mercs
I know, doesn't take only 7 minutes then. It's just an ignorant statement.
Ok then 15 minutes. Is that too much to ask for a couple of packs and a warrior hero portrait? There's no monetary cost.
I warned players about getting less "free" or "bonus" when the rewards track became a thing, literally no one believed me.
Apparently ppls are happy farming 50 gold every 5-6 hours, smh...

I can't relate. I have every card in Standard. Perhaps if I could get packs for Wild that would be best.
