I used to buy every pre-Order + some extra packs every now and then. I actually stopped spending money because of how bad the reward system HAS BECOME. Dust inflation is real and its a shame that most fun/meta decks these days cost around 10k dust if you don't wanna play the most straightforward aggro deck.
Given how bad the rewards from playing the game itself are and how much most decks cost now it does not feel good to spend 50 bucks as it doesn't provide as much of a decent start into a new expansion as it used to do. Might as well stop spending completely then
Honestly, I enjoy the game more now that I don't spend money on it. I only like certain classes anyway, I don't grind the ladder, and I just play for fun (mainly in the first few weeks after a new expansion).
Hearthstone used to be the only digital CG in town. But now other games have come along, which are much more generous (and arguably more interesting and competitive). Blizzard refuses to compete on value terms, which will ultimately kill the game.
Of all the digital CGs I have played, Hearthstone has easily the worst rewards for playing.
