Make the Card: The biggest thread on the site!
My mandibles which are capable of pressing down and tearing, my talons which are known to intercept and hold.
Well, you basically have a monopolized trading system with fixed pricing, central distribution and an 90% tax on every transaction.
Because you know, American companies find that kind of economic model good for their business. ;)
'Trading' would rapidly turn into third-party card selling. These people can set up bots that register gmail and battle.net accounts like candy and just get what they can in the free packs. Then they list the good cards on their site, dust the junk and craft others.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
It would add inflation to the game.
Cards become worthless, similar as to how SoJ quickly become worthless in D2.
I Think I figure out a way where you could not abused the system to trade card, give blizzard some profit back, and make it fair for both players.
1. You would need a "Market Place": Like WOW an area where you could freely trade cards for dust (instead of gold) or card for card. This way anyone can take the card you have (finding a way that you can trade to people that are not your friends and making it fair for people all across the game without cheating the system.(from different IP address))
2. You would need to spend X (500?) gold to enter the Market Place. This way you can't go infinite on cards you want. It would also be WAY harder for alt accounts to trade. Also 500 gold is like 3 - 6 days of getting gold.
3. You would have to trade X dust for X dust (or card for dust). like say if I had a golden legendary you would have to give me a legendary and 4 epics. so blizzard is not losing anything but people can get the cards they want and both accounts would have to spend an equal amount to give back to each other. This also would make it WAY harder for alt accounts to trade.
The only problem I could see with this system is that your friend could make alt account crack packs and wait till you get cards you want from those packs but that takes a lot of time and effort for something so random. Because you would have to have a different IP address and go through the whole tutorial each time, your basically forcing people to spend hours on alt accounts to only open classic packs/ new expansion packs and hoping for something insane. Then making X gold to enter the "Market Place" which would take at least a few days to do and I don't think a lot of people would do that.
I think this is the only way Blizzard could make a TCS and still make people happy because i feel sooner or later this is going to be 2 many set and blizzard will need to do something.
We have crafting in place of trading. I would far rather have a crafting system in place than a trading one. This way Dr. Boom is only ever worth 4 garbage legendaries. If trading was in place Dr. Boom would have been worth 60+ Millhouse Manastorm just like what happens on Magic The Gathering Online which allows for trading.
Trading and crafting would be bankrupt Blizzard in 6 months and the servers would be flooded as people are botting their 2-3 alt accounts.
Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
An idea: a marketplace where you can sell your cards for green dust based on their rarity and buy cards using green dust too.
Suppose I get 2 Tirion. I offer one in the marketplace. If someone buys it, I earn 1600 green dust. I can use that dust to buy, say, a Antonidas that someone offers in the marketplace. I can only sell and buy in the marketplace for green dust.

ive been a long stay fan to find a way to incorporate trading. My best idea would be to retire packs from Tavern Brawl and offer some sort of "Trade voucher" that can be used via friends list (but only with someone who also has one and uses it) and you can trade up to the maximum allowed in a deck of equal rarity.
(most people just want to trade legendaries anyways so 9 times out of 10 this will literally just be a weekly legendary swap meet imo, tho some epics are very in demand too.)
Of course im not dumb, no matter how strict, any trading system Hs implements could easily be abused but anyone with the time (or money) to just sink into farming multiple accounts. This is the least abusive way i could think of (Requires 1 week waiting period, relies on "skill"-ish quality of winning a brawl, requires both parties have a ticket to trade so you cant just farm tickets on one account and trade with anyone you meet on oh i dont know, online forums? ;P) but even so there will be groups like of my friends that can shuffle our legendaries around then.
Edit:
Hi i'm Tyler and I play hearthstone and watch anime.
Sometimes i make cards. I'd like to do that for a career one day if ever possible.

WAIT GUYS I GOT IT OKAY SO I WAS PLAYING POKEMON AND I THOUGHT LIKE THE GTS RIGHT!? so here's my idea:
Marketplace, a separate area in the "Solo" or practice or whatever that tab is that you never click after you get all your heroes to level 10. which btw you need all heroes at 10 to unlock this i would say. Here's how it works:
Cards are placed out into the open, then you name a price in green dust for it. for example i pull a second Leeroy Jenkins and throw it up. then you enter a CUSTOM price no more than 3200 (the max value of a golden legendary) and the card goes up. Leeroy is pretty good I think I will price him about 1400 dust. that way I can get a decent value but it's still a deal. (leeroy is good after all)
Now flip sides, im a humble guy who just cashed in a few epics and even a legendary and i have 1400 dust. I been craving to make a super aggro hunter and need leeroy. I search the card, options come up, oh look! A guy selling for 1400 green dust. Well i have that *click. Buy. Card.* yay!
Back to the me that sold Leeroy, when i log in (or whenever if im already online) ill get a notification kinda like when a friend pulls a legendary card that says my Leeroy was sold! I look and bam, 1400 green dust.
I think overall it needs some tweaking around but this way cards almost have a secondary "value" that is defined purely by players. Plus this way you can both keep dusting away commons and rares you pull while also finding value in epics you might not have wanted for epics you couldnt pull, and ofc all the legendaries. Cards like the nat pagles and such will be basically 400 either way (hell maybe someone will sell them even cheaper) and abuse might arise, but the main ways to abuse would be avoidable IE many alternate accounts or trading among friends only. after all you cant guarantee that by the time you log out and back in (or even if you're on a separate device) that you'll be the one to nab the lot, and how bad will you feel if you lose your Legendary for 1 dust because you tried gaming the system?
Thoughts? Notes? Improvements? I think things like trading in pokemon are the bets place to look to find a GOOD option for trading in hearthstone.

Excellent points. yeah i think this would be the way to go, but would need some sort of Game Design genius i lack to make plausible. also yes i didnt consider that they would not make any move that would cause famous players IE Streamers or Pros to NOT buy stuff, as that's probably at least 50% of the overall profits they make. As a F2P 99% of the time player these things can escape me and are a reminder this trading stuff is hard when it's not physical cards XD
