Will they be banned?
I just afk at work

I have my cellphone out and join a game every 5 min or so

I am at Rank61 now.

 Please, Nefine, and everyone else who contemplates doing this: Don't.

Please. I understand blizz "advocates" making XP like this; Would you also take other people's time into account?

Yes, afk-ing at work nets you some XP. Thus you will spend less $ come expansion release day. It will provide you with a couple of extra packs.

In order to accomplish this, you will have to turn your attention to your phone every five minutes which is detrimental to your focus. And waste someone's time in the process.

I strive to have an enjoyable time playing. I like making homebrew decks that feel fun to play, for me.

Achieving this is sometimes difficult... because losing every game does not equal fun, but playing top tier meta decks that pros made also does not usually equal fun.

There's some math in there - but it's about finding a balance.

 Thank you for giving your opinion.   Totally agree regarding home-brews Pherosizm!

Cool/ intricate interactions between multiple cards in a deck are mouthwatering to me, such as (play preferably in this order/ but not necessarily in a row): Awaken the Makers > Archbishop Benedictus > Spiritsinger Umbra > Coffin Crasher > Hakkar, the Soulflayer > Hemet, Jungle Hunter.

The idea is to expand your deck-size, shuffle 1 or more Corrupted Bloods into both players decks before Hakkar can be silenced or transformed; If luck isn’t on your side and you begin to draw (too many of) the Bloods, remove ‘em by playing Hemet.

Being able to make use of an otherwise obscure card as Hemet… priceless :D !

Recently, I've found that I have enough cards to make a "decent" deck with each class, so I think I might try to get the 500/1000 win hero portraits. I'll just do one at a time.

 I remember that moment when you realize you Can actually construct a deck with all classes that has a decent chance of earning you a W. Feels like you are becoming versatile, doesn't it ;) ? That you don’t have a class anymore that is truly lackluster, a strategy with which you have no affection. For me that’s been Rogue for a long time. Found Valeera a very challenging hero to win with.

What the actual fuck. D:

I've never seen anything close to this, wow. (...)

You make me blush sir, much appreciated.

HOLY CRAP! You played some warlock friend o____O

And 1500 with DH already! Do you just play aggro decks all day?

I don't mean to sound snarky. I'm genuinely impressed, but maybe also a bit worried :) 

Thanks for your reaction Personal G, yeah, I love Lock a lot. That hero power has been unrivaled for so long, the card advantage it provides // the extra options it gives you is something I did not see in the beginning of my “HS-career”. When it began dawning on me… Didn’t want to play anything else than Lock for a long time :P .

I think the deck I liked most was a fatigue deck: Glinda Crowskin - Baleful Banker - Hope you draw Banker and shuffle in some more Bankers - Play 1 or 2 Elise the Trailblazer - And repeat. Infinite value. Aided by Voidlords and Bloodreaver Gul'dan, naturally.

No, I don’t play aggro decks all day ;) . Far from it. This whole endeavour wasn’t done with rush decks (Ok, ok, must be honest, there has been a stretch some years ago where I wanted to earn 100 gold per day as often as possible - played Zoolock for a time. That gets old quick.) Am a control-lover. What makes me happy in Hearthstone is ….

trying to have a good curve, trading, longer games in general, the opponent plays his/her best minion, I play mine, preferably with a cool ability (Greybough comes to mind, as I’ve played him a lot recently), let’s see who makes the better trades and who built his deck better for the current match-up — Think along the lines of Jade druid.

The deck has some powerful options, Jade Blossom on 3 is good, Spreading Plague can be very good, Ultimate Infestation usually is a great tool. The deck has game against mill decks (provided my 1 Idol isn’t milled) and does well in fatigue scenarios.   I’d call it….. not an overpowered deck anymore. Fair comes to mind. Don’t know if you would agree.

(What makes me sad in HS is for example quest mage: Open the Waygate. When it feels as though the opponent plays his/ her game, I play mine // Where there’s minimal interaction between minions on the board. In such a game it somehow seems that the opponent and I are separated by a wall. Unfortunate for a game that you try to play together..)

Thank you for being impressed (and saying so)!

I am aware this most certainly is not the first thread on this topic, e.g. here and here and HS doesn't have big enough Goals and here and here and the very first one, of october 2013, when the game was still in beta (alpha?) . Unfortunately, no one was around to reply at that time ,

but I hope you forgive me starting (yet) another one, given the fact that the last one is from 2 years ago. Also, truth must be told, I wanted to  “give you” the (proof of) completion of a long-time personal goal: 1.500 wins with the 10 heroes.

The majority of wins were collected in the lowest ranks of Wild (before: ranks 20/ 19/ 18; now silver 10/ 9/ 8); however, the wins also include 5 runs to legend (some play inside legend) as well as 20-30 runs to rank 5 (diamond 5).

Why this goal you might ask? It has to do with the skins for 1.000wins. I’m just a fool for them shiny thingies (embarrassed smiley).   At some point it seemed like a good idea to anticipate an even more beautiful skin for the next “plateau” (floor? step? level? English isn’t my native language) 500 - 1.000 - ? . Or do you think it’ll only be for 2.000 wins ?!

I wonder: Do you also have a goal in our game, other than to have fun // pass the time?

Well done Primordial!

My god, so many dh's ?? More aggro or Soul?

So cool that you just made it - saved by the bell!

Just reached lvl 38, owing to the daily and the 3 weeklies that monday brings.    And thus collected 100.350 XP in total.

This is a milestone, because the halfway point of the Track is reached when touching lvl 38!    (100.350 divided by 192.200, which is the grand total required to complete the Rewards Track, equals to 52,2%.)

For argument’s sake, let’s use me as an example: half of the Track required 19 days. If we’d extrapolate: 192K in 38 days; an expansion lasts ~122 days; 122 divided by 38= 3,21;    3,21*192K= 617.060.

This number of XP would bring one to lvl 144 on the Track. (No XP-boost in this case) Which obviously brings heaps of gold with it! (I am curious just how much :P .)

But, I promise I won’t always play as much as since the 12th of this month, when the Track was introduced. Not healthy. Sorry wife, sorry children..

Wow Deepfear and adityajibhkate, you are going fast like the wind! I just reached lvl 38, owing to the daily and the 3 weeklies that monday brings.    And thus collected 100.350 “skittles” (also known as XP) in total.

Blizz, please change Tickatus.

There are countless threads here, from the beginning of HS on, where hundreds of your customers have said that it is NOT cool when their cards are burned by the dozens (exaggerating a little* bit).

Rat? Ok, fine. They can do the trick a couple of times with back to hand mechanics or the likes of S-Wock. There obviously is plenty of time for counterplay.

Gnomeferatu in combination with Glinda and/ or summoning Portal? More than fine, it is actually quite an accomplishment if the oppo pulls that off.

Turn 8 Tickatus, followed by T10 Y'Shaarj and then maybe a third copy from demonic studies? This is Not an unlikely scenario.

Neh, not fine. Really blizz, Not Ok.

Is there another gold coin available? Because I came across someone with it already if not.

 There is. You need to own (until the mid-mini-xpansion, all) 135 cards of the new, MDF-set.

Or, have bought the Tavern Pass and have already reached lvl 50 of the Track. Seems highly unlikely; so this ^ .
