I won't believe they actually care about the player experience and building a sensible community until they implement this TRIVIALLY SIMPLE feature.
Until you actually code something, don't call a coding feature simple, because you don't know what goes into it.
Do you know how much money Hearthstone makes? Your mentality makes me cringe.
Do I really care? No. It takes TWO SECONDS to squelch someone, and posting an entire thread whining about their being no auto-squelch isn't going to change it, because Hearthpwn has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Hearthstone itself. People who work for Hearthpwn don't work for Blizzard.
If online emotes bother you, you need to stop gaming. At least you don't get people swearing up a storm at you in game - Like with DCUO.
And if this is the smartest thing you have to say then you need to stop posting.
As a reminder, the squelch option ALREADY EXISTS.
I know it does, but if they bother you to the point where you can't take the two seconds it takes to hit squelch on your own, you need to stop gaming - At least there's no chat and you're not being called a cheater every time you make a move.
This has been requested for years. It won't happen.
