You don't understand my point. I am not saying that every player needs the entire collection of every expansion, but:
The system is based on greedy and random lootboxes, which do not allow you to affect the content of the packs in any way. This means that you have absolutely no control over when you accumulate all the cards you want and need. Sometimes 300 packs are enough, and sometimes 500 is still not even close to your goal.
Rainbow Six Siege is a high-budget AAA game for which you have to pay $60 to get access to ALL the basic content. Additional content is issued every year and you can buy it separately or purchase a $30 annual season pass to access ALL the content from that year (you get everything without additional effort or grind!). Now please compare it to Hearthstone, which costs about 50 times more...
And why is that? Because morons without self-respect will buy anything from Blizzard, for any price...
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
And no, that guy isn't "just unlucky", because things for many of us looks exactly the same (me included). By the way, I don't know how you can defend a system that humiliates you and treats you like a moron. Is this a Stockholm Syndrome? Blizzard certainly loves you!
So you spend $170 and 18000 gold (180 packs) each expansion! Good for you, I have no problem with that, but remember that some of us also have a normal life outside of Hearthstone and can't spend 6-8 hours a day on it (I don't know how else you can get so much gold in about 4 months).
Since you can't count, it seems likely that your basic arithmetic is suspect too. I spend far less than $1350 per year, and I have every card in both Standard and Wild.
You should probably avoid using the "M" word. People in glass houses ... you know.
So I ask you kindly to share following informations with us: 1. How much real money do you spend each year on the Hearthstone? 2. How many packs do you buy for gold each expansion? 3. How much dust do you spend on creating missing cards each expansion (how many cards do you usually lack up to 135)?
People have to understand that blizzard is a company though. They employ a lot of people and they need to make money. They probably started doing that and making epics and legendaries more powerful as the expacs went on solely to make money. If anyone remembers back in the day, it was actually a meme how bad most legendaries and epics were. In the classic set, only a couple still see play, and it's loaded with worthless cards like Cho, Millhouse, and The Beast. It's no coincedence that they upped the power level of legendaries over the years. People are way too harsh on blizz for wanting to make money though. Remember the days when it cost 50$ (in 1990s money) to buy an N64 game? Games have way higher quality now, and are a lot cheaper. Look at games like Subnautica. That game cost 19.99$ and it would've been the greatest and most played game ever if it came out in 1999. The video game industry is struggling now because of things like piracy, and companies need to make money.
Sorry, but that is huge BS. To get full expansion you need to spend $450-500 on packs (135 virtual cards!). That is the equivalent of a new PS4 Pro! To get 4 full expansions per year, you have to spend $1800-2000. A normal game, with a budget usually exceeding $300 million, costs $60. Poor Blizzard indeed...
There are only THREE expansions per year. Learn to count before you whine.
Sure, my bad and that completely changes the perspective! Instead of $1800-2000 you have to spend "only" $1350-1500. So it turns out that everything is fine, Blizzard is great and there is basically no problem, right? Why would you pay $60 for, I don't know, game like Cyberpunk 2077 or God of War, if you can have 135 virtual cards (half of which are rubbish) for $500? Only moron would do that!

I also recommend you an interesting video:
