I've been playing since the closed beta. I've never missed a monthly reward. Tbh, this is the first time I'm actually considering quitting the game.
I’ve played since closed beta as well and as a gigantic whale who owns everything in the game I don’t feel like quitting over an increase in the weekly quests. The only people this impacts are people who hardly play the game or have very few cards to begin with. I cleared every quest for the entire week on Monday in less than 90 minutes. 15 games won is a tad over 2 each day of the week. You can still do that on a phone or tablet while getting rid of last night’s pizza. You can afk in BG and complete the win 15 without doing anything in case you didn’t know that already. Any minion quest can be done in casual by playing a deck of entirely that minion coupled with class quests and every other quest.
I’ve completed the 400 levels on the track since I can remember and it’s very easy to do without much effort if you think about it.
15 wins in a week for what equates roughly 14000xp a month on the BP and at 1500xp per 50 gold on the bonus levels that’s not even 500g a month for just that one quest if you don’t feel like doing it or just can’t for whatever reason.
I still remember the meltdowns when they took away the 10g for 3 wins because amazingly it was easier to sit and win 30 games a day for what equated to a .56 cent pack of cards each day…it never ends.
I’m already at 120 on the reward track and I have zero issues doing 400 and will be done with it weeks before the season ends.
I know everyone here would just like to have everything for free but Blizzard doesn’t exist to make free games for everyone. I’m all for taking away the ability to complete quests in casual tbh because the ladder is an utter FKG bore. Maybe if we had people playing the ladder with quest decks it would be more fun but then again the meltdowns would ensue over that.
The f2p players need to realize that Blizzard just devalued your time even more in hopes that you will shell out $20 bucks here and there for the work they do for the game you all play.
I have won everything there is to collect in the game ,aside from signature cards because even whales as big as me draw the line somewhere, and having to win 10 more games a week to complete the quest isn’t even an issue.
Stack your quests and complete as many as possible at once and it’s pretty easy. After all I thought everyone liked the game so what’s the problem if you have to play it for another hour a week?
Hearthstone isn’t cheap by any means but I’m glad Blizzard is finally recognizing people who spend little to no money on the game don’t deserve to have an easy time collecting the free things they do give away the same as someone like me who has supported the game for over 10 years and has contributed very heavily to the games continued enjoyment by those who contribute little or nothing.

Exactly, and 200+k viewers, even in a new expansion launch day is huge for any game and HS is 5 years old! Also big numbers of viewers continue to be a thing as we speak. The new exp and rotation is a success, no doubt. I'm playing since 2014 too.

This comment goes to my heart. Thank you!

Yes, the set looks really fun and because of the rotation many crazy things can be done with the new cards. I've preordered the 80 packs bundle.

The rule does apply only if you NEVER opened packs from an expansion. If you have opened before the rule it does count, so no guaranteed legendary for 10 packs. The guy who told you otherwise doesn't know what he's talking about.
Congrats for the lucky draw , enjoy them before disenchant, I'm doing the same with Boogymonster :)

When cards are nerfed the first rule is to disenchant all of them. If you find out that they are still playable you can craft them anytime without loosing anything.

Actually this is a very good point.
