I shouldn't answer to the fanboys’ provocations, but hey, whatever it takes to expose their stupidity and sectarianism...

OBVIOUSLY, a company or business has the right and the obligation to obtain economic benefits for its services, we are not talking about a charitable organization after all.

The problem arises when creating a quality product is no longer the priority, but getting as much economic profit as possible becomes the main motivation.

When the ways to monetize the game and obtain profits do not stop increasing exponentially while the quality of the game leaves more and more to be desired... there is an obvious problem: pure greed (a situation radically different from a few years ago).

When instead of concentrating on a single game mode and improving and developing it to satisfy their customers, they dedicate themselves to creating more and more additional game modes with the sole intention of catching more people (and their money) ... that shows that they are desperate to increase their profits.

And no, let's not be delusional: the Reward Track for instance was created with the intention of monetizing the game even more, let's not kid ourselves: it is useless to have more gold if the options to spend it have been multiplied by a thousand (the real value of gold has been devalued).

Another example: Core set is a loan ... it has been loaned to us for a year so that we believe that it belongs to us, but then, if we want to own it for real, we will have to spend resources on getting something what we already "had".

It is all a whole system to trap people and tempt them to spend more and more. Blizzard's greed is rampant, they don't know what else to do to try to earn more money.

Finally, to reflect on all this, you can check by yourselves how the frequency with which new bundles or products appear in the shop has increased exponentially in recent times ... they do not stop selling us things, the store is overflowing.

 Blizzard's greed unleashed, that's all

which might not happen, this is a special event like Lunar New Years

Tell that, for example, to The Thunder King, Dame Hazelbark or Sylvanas Windrunner, as all of them (along with their respective card backs) originally went on sale in their own limited-time special bundles for 10 bucks... the very same bundles you can now get for just 1800 gold (1500 gold initially).

Paying real money for this bundle is an eccentricity typical of whales that have too much money to spare and/or do not know how to control their spending... because I remind you, this video game company does not deserve your money at all.

Thanks god we now can buy Ragnaros hero and its cardback for 1500 gold, we only have to wait :D

Alright, there are some comments here that's getting on my nerves, so I guess I'll respond to them.

First, no, Blizzard didn't ban a card because they wanted to "hide their shame". They banned it because they were still figuring out the best nerf for it.

Second, this ban is a one-off thing, and pretty much will NEVER happen again. Stop asking for bans in this case.

 Please, do not be deluded, if Blizzard has banned this card is precisely because they wanted to "hide their shame":

They had no idea how to solve a problem that they themselves had created thanks to their irresponsibility and carelessness, so they opted for the easiest and fastest solution, solution which, to make matters worse, completely destroys the premise of the wild mode.

And mark my words, this will not be the first time we see a card banned from Wild: a dangerous precedent has been set... From now on, every time Blizzard consider a card to be somewhat problematic, they will not hesitate to ban it, hiding it under the rug as if it did not exist.

The first shot has already been fired, so it does not surprise me at all that a multitude of people have already started requesting bans left and right.

That's very similar to how it used to be -- Nozdormu

 That is, a usable card (as opposed to a useless stupidity like Nozdormu the Eternal)

Yep, the basic problem is precisely that: that the card is useless by itself.

For that matter, I would have preferred it to go something like this: "Battlecry: For the rest of the game, turns are only 15 seconds long."

Yep, that's right: this "event" is the height of pathos by Blizzard, in fact, it may well appear to be a private "event" created by the fanbase rather than by the game's developers themselves...

What would have to be done to make it a proper event? Instead of a simple tweet or even an in-game notification, there should be a special quest the 15th of every month (there is supposed to be a fourth slot for special quests by the way) that rewards you with extra XP if you play 5 games with Nozdormu in your deck that day.

The whole point of Nozdormu the Eternal is that you don't have to play turbo Hearthstone if you don't want to. So you would have to be able to re-roll such a quest. So most people would re-roll the quest, which puts us back to exactly where we are now.

If, for some reason, they did not allow a re-roll into a quest of equal value, the outcry would be far, FAR greater than the feedback that led to this "event" in the first place. A lot of people may like an idea, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot more who dislike it. So far, there just hasn't been any reason to speak out against Nozdormu day because it's so easy to opt out.

If you don't want to play "turbo Hearthstone", nobody forces you: you wouldn't have to compulsory do that special quest I have proposed if you don't want to.

Obviously, as a special quest, there would be no room for any re-roll: when the 15th of each month ends, that quest will simply disappear... so where is the problem?

Well Warcraft Rumble is a money sucking machine simulator - no thanks.

*Incentives available for two weeks after the official launch of Warcraft Rumble to all players who play Warcraft Rumble during that time period and defeat Hogger at the end of the tutorial.

This was listed at the bottom of the preregister callout from battle net 

Cant wait for their Scam

The mystery signature is probably the teaser legendary that is released for free ahead of the expansion.

what a waste of $ lol

they say a "mistery" signature card instead of a "random" signature card. DON'T YOU DARE TO MAKE A CARD THAT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IF YOU PAY 50 BUCKS!

As a kid working for Blizzard looked like the absolute dream job. How young and naieve I was

AAA gaming company?

I thought they were a small indie company.

Thats Shizzard for you
