Im so tired of these threads for every xpac / adventure or whatever.
Despite of what you might think, ppl are working on this stuff. And guess what - they arent doing it for your amusement alone.
Damn, ive even heard they´re getting paid by a C O M P A N Y
And now ppl complain about ONE cardback. OH NO! There is an item that cost money but doesnt make me/my deck better at this game. Daaaaaaaamnnnnnn you Bli$$ard *shaking fist*
Wait what! You mean to me that a service is being provided to us at our choosing and we need to pay for it? Thats just insane. No way should I have to pay for an option for something I want, that they have, that they are asking money for in exchange. Wait, they are going to give me something extra if I give them money ahead of time that I was going get regardless? Thats just wrong and unfair. Oh I have the option to get it for free minus the extra gift if I chose? Thats also bull, mostly because I have to play a game to get the free stuff other are CHOOSING to pay for... I wish people would stop bitching about this as well.
Card backs are over rated. I see a lot of people just revert back to the plain old original lately. The limited ones are just a bit ... try hard. I mean, most people running the fireside one kind of cheated to get it.
Whatever about the seasonal ones. The new pre-order one is the least impressive one, because someone only starting to play today could just pre-order it.

It has less to do with the 'achievement' of it (atleast for me), I think it's one of the better looking ones. I don't spend real cash on packs, but the expansions are such a great deal (atleast Naxx was, BRM don't know yet), I don't mind buying the adventure. Plus I get to support Blizzard to keep coming out with new content.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. - T. E. Lawrence
They have to make money somehow. I am sure they are making enough, but if they do it this one time, then next time people make an even bigger fuss. Where do they draw the line?
Blizzard has never really gouged people for money, if you look at any other F2P game. There are advertisements everywhere, or its 'F2P" which really means 'P2Win', or the game doesn't last long, or even their standard game (like MtG:O) becomes very expensive to play. I think this is what people don't get, they want to blame and hate on Blizzard, when they really haven't done anything but make a solid and successful game. I guess that is part of what makes these threads so common, I don't think there is another F2P game out right now that has 25 million players.
Don't get me wrong, there are things that I would like to see changed to (more deck slots please), I've been around Blizz long enough to know what to expect from them. All this being said... I also wouldn't be opposed to them doing the presale in a FULL(3500) upfront gold purchase either.

Nuff said :D
Relax, enjoy the game and CALM THE F*CK DOWN :p
if we cant complain about blizzards policy. then why not just sending them our paychecks automatically?
Time to take off the pink glasses. Its like going to the market and complaining about the food isnt for free...
Its not like you wont get anything in return... Its the contrary, you get ADDITIONAL stuff for paying for the adventure (the card back).
It's because this forum/site is for constructive discussions. Not flame wars about how it should be, most threads centered on a complaint is just someone wanting to commiserate (or argue) about a 'feature'. Blizzard doesn't come to HearthPwn, if someone wants to complain and have your thread/comment be anything more that just a 'complaint'... It needs to be done on the official Blizzard forums.
Thats why I use this site, the official forums are twice as bad as here. I (for the most part) like the regular users here. It's been just fairly recently that this site has become almost a mirror of the official forums.

And someone starting to play in a couple months can never get it.
It's not meant to be "impressive", it's meant to be (hopefully!) cool looking, and to signify "I was there in March 2015 when BRM was announced".
Just like the season one card back (which I run myself, because I think it looks really nice) signifies "I was there when the game launched and the first season ran". Not meant to "impress" anyone.
I think that the main issue here is that people are understanding "Free to Play" as Free to collect... The game is free to play meaning that you play an entire game without paying a single $$$ if you want it to be that way, ready to not get everything available in game (although only cosmetic stuffs will be lost) and that you might not have all the same cards as fast as paying players.
As long as they don't start making special new cards or heroes that are only available by paying cash then i'm ok with that.
In the end it's like all the MOBA games (LoL and others) who keep charging you for extra skins and stuffs every 3 to 5 days. They make a ton of money with this but the main game isn't changed at all for the regular folks who don't care if their character don't glow in the dark since they didn't spent 3.99$ on a neon armor skin or whatever!
I bought naxx with gold, but ill tell you what, im going to buy blackrock in advance to get that cardback. Im not rich, actualy i have less than most of you here, and yes, i could save gold for it, so why? BECOUSE I FUCKING LOVE FIRE AND MOLTEN CORE WAS MY FAVOURITE INSTANCE IN GAME. Thats why. So far the card is best looking in game and im kinda sure that next expansion i wont care that much about bonus card back, becouse it wont be BLACK AND FIERY!
ps.: is it just me or the hardcore clear reward card back is ugly as fuck?
I'll purchase the adventure as well and yes, the card back is the main reason for doing so (have enough gold around). As long it is only cosmetics everything is fine. If you really want the card back your money is well spend on Hearthstone.
If you are playing the game for free you should be happy that you can create every single card in the game without spending a dime. Complaining about a cosmetic card back is not quite appropriate. Be happy that you can enjoy everything else in the game, including to unlock every adventure for free (means: for gold)!

Are there more people:
a) complaining about not getting a card back or
b) complaining about people who complain about not getting a card back?
... from my seat, so far the answer is b)
Thanks guys, I thought the first few posts will flame me for my point of view >.<
Shut up and take my money blizzard. Giveme that card back.
Card backs are over rated. I see a lot of people just revert back to the plain old original lately. The limited ones are just a bit ... try hard. I mean, most people running the fireside one kind of cheated to get it.
thank you for finally making a thread that makes sense.
