since the sets focus is on bad weapons and high costed spells i dont see it having a big impact on the current meta. aggro will just eat everyhing that tries to be cute

first i want to say im not addicted ;) i can/could/will stop because i really came to the point where i despise grinding dailies any longer. i dont want to play stupid rogue decks for hours to reach 50 cards played or stupid murloc or whatever decks. I just want to play a class and a deck i enjoy and when I am in the mood to play

that said i will continue to do them until the next set arrives. first, because thats a good point to stop playing, second should i comeback i didnt miss any gold i would have had on release date. i also think theyll give us another week of doubled gold quest. so psychologically i wont miss any gold for kobolds, but the expansion after. should i find back to the game i can probably just buy the next preorder, although i really dont want to spend another dime on the game since its waaay to costly (50€ for a fragment of the new set) and they would have gotten me to the point where they want me (spend money instead of grinding)

i will at least try to to do the weekly brawl and get rank 20 to keep somewhat up2date, but only if i enjoy it. 

Oh I would enjoy the game on the weekend or whenever i feel like it. Ive got a good collection and wild is really cool. Its just that the game forced me to play it already a couple of hours on times I didnt enjoy it at all.

Fdp8: Exactly. Id rather have a day or two in the month to play exessively when I feel like it without the need to log in daily.

Sure I can do the quests every third day (which I do atm), I still need to log in daily to reroll the lowquests and if you save them up you have to play at least an hour every 3rd day. 

But I dont want to care about the game and sit it like a pet. I want to decide when to play.

I think my decision is set. Ill grind til the next release and thats it.

I dont care about the ladder too much, I just need a break from the horrible grind experience. The game forces me to play it regularly or Ill lose all my investment, So to me the least loss to quit seems now, with some amount of gold saved up for a future return.

 No, they wont.

HS has reached its peak in players and the market is soaked up by HS and its clones. The best thing to make money now is to milk the enfranchised players.

People invested either infintie hours or a lot of money into the game to play the game with a decent collection now. Like other guys, I spend around 150€ on the game by now, which is probably more than on any other game (including addons), so its hard for me to stop playing, because after 2 more sets my collection will become worthless and Ill be unable to play any longer (without spending even more money ofc)

But im sick and tired of the grind the game still sets me on to keep up with new releases and will probably save my gold and quit after the next release.

Yeah I know, its kind of a rhetorical question and I have to decide for myself. But here are my thoughts.

Im playing the game since beta now and i really enjoyed it. Sure it lacked the depth of MTG which i played for years, but for what it had to offer it was a nice strategic game.

But since almost a year I hardly enjoy the game anymore. Often enough it felt dull to always see the same decks and the amount of rng effects just went crazy (its a bit better right now), but the fundamental flaws of the game just show more and more. Like the small starting hand that always will promote lowcurved aggrodecks and the lack of interaction with opponents plays. Also this game seems more and more to please the casual and fun player and not the ones that want a serious competitive game.

Besides those flaws, HS would still be a game Id enjoy from time to time, but what really burns me out it the need to grind daylies all the time to keep up with gold/packs. Its impossible to stop playing completely for a couple of weeks unless you want to spend money on the game or have limited deck choices after the next set release, which probably leads to even less fun, basically makes it unable to ever return.

So im thinking now, I might skip the next expansion completly and save my gold for the time I want to return.

The decline in social behavior has nothing to do with the internet, its a problem of society. Google Mouse Utopia Experiment.

The information gathered now is for ads, they want to know our hobbies like gaming, internet activity and so on. I already dont like this. A huge surveillance apperatus gets installed only for the sake of higher profits and nobody knows where this is leading to. Nothing good for sure.

@GutsHS

Yeah, its "funny" they made those free packs to clutter the comment selection so critic will bury itself. Makes it feel even worse, but people are sheeps.

Okey, I am fine with a lot of merging of information because in the end it's useful for consumers but...

So, what going on here. Some time ago I already had to merge account with Cursegaming. Now with Twitch, which probably is tied to Amazon by many users. So I share my posts here with my real ID if I dont use different accounts. Big Data is coming for you...

What happened to independent sites and forums?

...

done

get rid of the dailies and see how joyful the game is

game is a success!
