I don't say hearthstone is dying but the fact is they do 2x less revenues each year, they still earn a lot and there is still many players. But in the long term, if there is no new player and people play less and less, they will have to do a HS 2 for a new hype and all your time and money "will disappear" at the same time. That's my opinion.
What people here don't realise is that this is a card COLLECTING game.
If you are handed the collection over, there's not much to work for isn't it? Also, part of the value from the cards comes from their rarity.
Even know, not everyone has 2 Brawls or 2 Pyroblasts, and definitely not every single top-tier classic legendary.
I started a new account in November and got a semi-decent collection in 3 weeks. Nothing fancy, but definitely enough to try out a many things.
What they could improve at, is starting dust amount after finishing starter ranks, better matchmaking and fixing casual (imo, the best thing they could do there is giving the option to ban 6-9 non-legendary cards).
There are still thousands of cards to collect even with the entire classic set free. There is no "value" to the cards. They can not be traded.
Still nobody in the no camp with a good argument.
Would you recommend this game to any of your friends? You are a pretty lousy friend if you answer yes.
The cards you own have value. The time and money spent on them is what they’re worth. What are you going to do about those 1500+ classic packs I’ve opened over 4 years ?
Lol what? I don’t violate the terms of service. And what do you mean change their mind ? Making all the previous sets for free would be a terrible business decision, it’s YOU who needs to change their mind.

Selling accounts is not allowed, so they would probably never worry about decreasing the resale value of accounts.
Obviously they don’t care if my account loses value. The point is I’m against the idea for that reason.
Why do people vote no? (I am just curious, is it because you already bought it and finished it, and don't want any new players?
Because if all of the olds contents become free, I'll ask for a full refund. Hundred of euros. And I won't be the only one. This is nonsense.
Why? You wouldn't be losing anything.
We would lose our investment. We bought a product which later had its value strippen away and was handed out for free. Imagine buying 100 packs today and tmrw finding out that all of the cards were given out for free. Nice way of losing money, isn't it?
It all depends on the time frame. Of course they could not just announce today that as of tomorrow stuff is free. A big change like this would have to be announced way in advance, maybe in combination with some sort of refund for players who bought stuff within a couple of month prior to the announcement.
How about the fact that I spent thousands on the classic set, I am 20k dust away from full golden classic set. Don’t you think I’ll be asking for a refund if every I paid for eventually becomes free. Same thing goes for my complete wild collection.
You'd still have all of those things...
And everybody would have all those things I spent thousands to acquire for absolutely free! People like me would feel great!
How does what other people have matter at all to you? Why would that change your feelings at all?
Because my money is then completely wasted as well as all the efforts it took me to farm 100k+ gold. I don’t mind if everything becomes free as long as I get a full refund for everything I paid for
Why do people vote no? (I am just curious, is it because you already bought it and finished it, and don't want any new players?
i voted no bc it would devalue my collection significantly.
Your collection has zero value at all. You cant sell them and you cant trade them. You have the cards or you dont have them. If other players have classic cards or not doesnt devalue anything.
OK, i give up. The Hearthstone-community is obviously so toxic that they would prefer see this game dying instead of make it playable for new players. And yes: it is quite unplayable if you start today and dont want to invest a shit load of money
Zero value ? And you think that an account with all the cards, tons of golden ones, plenty of unique card backs and all the hero skins has no value for resale ? That’s nonsense. Making all the older sets free would significantly devaluate the value of big accounts for sale.
Considering that you are not allowed to sell your account at all, this is probably not as important as you think it is. If Blizzard ever decided to make the Classic set free, they won't change their mind for people who already violate their terms of service.
