3nnu1 posted a message on Why there is so much hate on Mercenary mode or on Hearthstone in general?Posted in: General DiscussionBecause the mode confirms everything we have dreaded blizzard becoming. I have been a blizzard fan for more than 20 years. I was a top 500 star craft player in a former lifetime and looked forward to every blizzard product.
The decline started with their purchase by Vivendi, but still Blizzard put out great products that were well worth the money. Even if MMORPG were not your thing, they certainly did it well with WOW. Blizzard was known for not releasing games until their ready and were not known as money grubbing scumbags like EA.
Even Overwatch was a good game on release. Well polished, solidly balanced and fun to play. Only the matchmaker was aids.
But in Hearthstone, you see every cynical trick. Every change is designed to extract more dollars from their player base. The rigging is so disgusting it is absurd, it is like you are not even playing a game, just something meant to feel like a game that attempts to get you to spend money. I was overjoyed when I found hearthstone, I was a former ranked magic player (the physical card game over 20 years ago) and had given it up when my kids were born (too much time, too much money) so hearthstone was a god send. A digital way for me to play an old gamestyle I thought I could never return to from a company that I then respected and trusted.
Then I saw the rigging....and then I came here to ask about it, what people thought and was met with such a ridiculous response of derision and gaslighting that I was taken aback and decided to re-evaluate my stance. i looked into blizzards game design philosophies, I watched videos, read articles and found that no, I am right, the game is rigged. But I could not understand why so many bright, articulate people on this site were so absolutely sure that hearthstone was not rigged. Then when you laid out the case for why you believe it is.....the response says everything.
The response was well, that is not proof and you are stupid tinfoil hat, confirmation bias dumbass if you think it is rigged without definative proof......and I thought...what a bizarre response......then I learned what a community manager was.
See I started on the internet in a different age, when people had open and honest conversation and looked to learn from each other. The various boards were not filled with shills and plants hammering their talking points and brigading anyone who dared stray from the corporate script. But now the internet is filled with people with agendas, be they corporate or political, and to think that some innocent kid comes to a site like this to find out more about a game they like and are met by a bunch of goons trying to make sure he spends the most he can is disgusting to me.
So I come by from time to time to tweak the shills and point out the obvious about the game. Things like team 5 sucks and the quests are all overpowered, things like merenaries and duels are cynical stupid products that people should avoid. I will give the occaisional positive shout when they do something good like fix the terrible reward track or release classic mode. But it general my stance toward blizzard has changed quite a bit in the last 5 years. Mercenaries is just one more step down the EA path.
