I have been thinking about this for some weeks now, always waiting a little more considering it could be a bad luck streak or something, but it's been long enough I guess.
Since the implementation of the chest reward by the end of the season (about 3 months I guess?) I've noticed the amount of golden cards I get from packs has definitively decreased (no idea by how much). But I'm pretty damn sure it has. So I'd like to know if anyone else has that impression... it could be I'm just having a really terrible bad luck streak after all :P
I actually have experienced this! Just last week, I broke down and purchased a 40 pack bundle. As I finished my last pack, I noticed I did not acquire one golden card! Im not sure if this could be something they intended, but I was pretty sad. Im glad to know Im not the only one
Doesn't matter to me since I barely got any golden cards from packs. I guess I'm lucky to be unaffected by it...

Like when they added 50 Gold Quests, all it really did was lower the chance of getting a 60 Gold or better quest. They acted like it would help new players collect gold and build their collection faster but it actually did the opposite.
Add End-of-season rewards, but lower the drop rate of gold cards.
Till I get actual evidence I will consider this as rumor morgering and conspiratorial wankery cause I've gotten the same amount as I usually get: not much
Heh, maybe there's just an unlucky bunch of us after all. I did get a very nice amount of goldens earlier... I'd get a golden rare somewhat often back in the day, I remember dusting lots of them to get the cards I needed. Oh well...
Yeah, I haven't been having much luck with legendaries either... if I remember correctly I got 2 in 40 packs from TGT pre-launch and since then another one, probably after about 50 or 60 packs?
But I figure legendaries should be harder to come by than a friggin golden common hahaha
50g quests are bs tho. i dont know what they were thinking with that. it must be hard enough for new players to get into the game with the 2(soon 3)adventures and 2 expansions, not to mention the basic collection. sure there are 1 tavern brawl pack every week now and you get monthly rewards for ranked, but thats nothing to new players, mostly rewarding to veterans who can get to higher ranks and/or want gold cards. new players cant really compete in ranked anymore, like in the past where you could get to legend with decks like trumps f2p mage, which if i remember correctly didnt even contain any rares.
According to Noxious in his youtube channel the 50g quests actually slightly increases your gold income overtime. But very slightly, if I remember correctly.
I do agree that new players are pretty screwed if they don't get a ladder of their own or something... tavern brawl and monthly rewards is way too few for them to catch up.

It's Blizz. This is how they do.

So backhanded. Blizz = Trolls.

Hmm.
Hard to say...
I have gotten a few golds since then in around 20-25 packs, including a golden Muster yesterday and a golden DreadStead today...
But, it always feels like you should be getting more,right?
EDIT: Wait... I got a golden Morgor the Ogre after the rewards went live too. So, in my case, seems the same.

I've gotten above an average number of epics and golds but can't pull a legendary to save my life since TGT. 2 in well over 100 packs.
