This thread has boiled down to what I was afraid of. Badly written, poorly thought-out and misinformed OP means any chance of decent conversations goes out the window. Whenever threads discuss money/cost issues, it comes down to small children bickering about whether or not Hearthstone is expensive.
I believe it's OP's desire to hear the dust-system is bad, but I believe it's not. As with all games that run a big amount of collection-based aspects, it takes either money or time to actually 'collect'. If someone is F2P, then that's fine, but you cannot expect to have the same collection as people who pay for the game in terms of pre-orders and adventures. Likewise, the paying folks need to realize not everyone has the same financial freedom or time on their hands. Anyone's standard is not everyone else's standard.
But Hearthstone is a product. And a product, you can either buy or not. You can afford it, or you can't. You can see its value, or you can't. But an inability to stand behind one of these three measurements, does not, ever, mean that the producer has to change its own perception of its product's value.
