No, no, no. Don't you understand? You see, if you let people decide for themselves whether they play a game, they might make the wrong choice. I know what you're saying: it's just a tiny choice over a video game. But that's how these things start. One day, some innocent (and obviously misguided) player wrongly decides that he should play Mercs. He starts f2p, but he decides (wrongly, you understand) to spend a modest amount of money on said game. You see, he made the mistake of actually liking it. The next thing you know, he's making bad decision left and right. He drops out of school, develops a meth addiction, loses all his friends, marries another addict, has a daughter who ends up on the pole, and ultimately dies of a tragic overdose. All because of Blizzard's greedy idea of offering another HS-related product to its customers. Hell, the devs might as well have put a gun to this dude's head and pulled the trigger themselves: that's how responsible they are.

Some people are utterly incapable of understanding that reasonable, intelligent people can have different values, priorities, and preferences.
some people try to argue through desperate straw man arguments to justify odious behavior on the behalf of money grubbing corporations who support Chinese tyranny and the abuse of women. I never said people should not be allowed to buy mercenaries or meth, i just said they are stupid if they do.
I am not paying for the packs, but I am not complaining about it either. It is there as an option for competitive players who want to gain an advantage against casual players.
Just like Hearthstone, you are playing for variety not for strength. Sure, we need more info but it seems that getting a top tier party for PVP won't be harder than getting a top tier deck for Hearthstone.
There will be no more edge over F2P players than in Hearthstone
How do you know so much about it?
There are quite a few sources of information about Mercenaries, ranging from devs twit to gameplay videos to Hearthstone blog posts.
The largest mystery is the gold cost of town upgrades and how much time is needed to grind coins for crafting heroes and leveling up their abilities to the max level without buying packs.
So the costs are still a mystery but you can assure us that there will be no more edge than f2p hearthstone....got it. seems legit
Also, by using the same resource in both, the overall effect will be to tighten the gold resources on players who attempt to play both competitively as a f2p. But lets keep pretending that is not a thing.

Well, I just watched Trump's Merc gameplay video. As every reasonable person expected - first levels of buildings cost... 0 gold. Who knew that Blizzard won't force you to spend anything to try.
Oh, noes! What are the haters going to complain about now?! You've ruined so many lives with this information.
It is hilarious how defensive you are. How does this even make your argument? Of course the opening sample taste is free. Drug dealers do the same thing.
I have a feeling that this post might just age like milk once the mode releases.
I'm just gonna play the game when it comes out (and hopefully have fun), honestly this is aging like fine vinegar, I didn't expect so much heat it's funny
Blizzard could offer an actual life-size, solid gold statue of Sylvanas delivered to your home just for completing the tutorial, and free players would complain that they didn't throw in Diablo and Lich King statues as well.
aww, the bad players don't want to buy the new gacha bullshit, I am sad.
No, some of "the bad players" really really really want to buy the gacha bullshit but they can't afford it while still thinking that they deserve it for free so they whine.
lol, the you can't afford it bit....what a joke, you should change your name to douchepoint.

Yep, anyone who does not like blizzards buggy trash corporate swill is a bad person. The defenders can't defend the terrible products anymore, so now they go ad hominem against the players who point out the truth....
Man they must of replaced the old community managers with some minimum wage mouth breathers, at least shadow could make an argument.
