Spending an hour or so a day completing them felt like I was getting a decent dose of fun and not grinding the game and getting frustrated at certain balance problems.
Now I just can't be fucked honestly. Way to kill your playerbase who just wants to hop on for a small time period for a few games in a busy life.

Dunscot posted a message on Update on Weekly Quests - Quests Will be Easier to CompletePosted in: NewsOk... first of all, this came faster than expected.
Second of all, it is a load of nonsense and I mostly agree with xskarma's comment that this is a fairly transparent case of pushing the envelope (and the quest system is indeed debatable from a design perspective).
But I have to point out one more thing about this.
Our aim with the adjustments was to give all our players goals to play towards, and to reward our most engaged players (who would likely still complete the Weekly Quests without too much difficulty) for their commitment to the game
So, this is the first time anyone ever said anything about why they actually did this. Feel free to insert your "the real reason was..." mentally, but I like official explanations to see if there's ANY merit to them, and mock them otherwise.
Aside from this sounding a little bit like EAs infamous "sense of pride and accomplishment" from Battlefront 2, and you probably shouldn't take inspiration from the most downvoted posting in all of Reddit's history, I'm sure Blizzard doesn't hire people who dropped out of high school, and I hope I don't insult anyone when I say that most people of average education and intelligence would have been able to spot that tiny little problem that quests affect everyone, not just "our most engaged players".
If that is their goal, mabye it would somehow be possible to "reward players for their additional efforts" without taking things away from players who do not want to put in additional efforts. Maybe you could add optional quests for people who want this kind of stuff, and let others ignore it.
Wait a minute, this sounds familiar! I think they already have those; insultingly grindy quests with lousy rewards only meant to be completed by the most obsessive minmaxing lunatics (like me). They are called "achievements".
And it just so happened, that in this expansion, just a month ago, you had severely reduced achievements and made them less rewarding overall. Now, isn't that a funny coincidence?
You know, I do and say a lot of stupid things (and I have my posting history here to prove it!). But I am not entirely confident that I could have my actions and words directly contradict each other to this digree if I intentionally tried.

This is such an obvious manipulation attempt.
Just smells to me like "Baby's first political move".
I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it this time.
Not gonna settle for anything but a full revert and/or 1:1 ratio of requirement-reward
And besides, them saying their goal is to increase engagement with quests?
That's an absurd lie. If they want to increase engagement they would increase the reward by 200% as well.

This is obviously a very costumer-unfriendly move.
Hearthstone is a F2P game mostly.
What usually was supposed to make the most money for blizzard was cosmetics and the battle pass, and I think for the most part, we understood that and we were okay with every 3 months paying for it.
In return, if we engaged with the game weekly and daily for some about of time, we got our mini-expansion + 50-60 free packs with a new expansion.
I thought that balance was fine, but maybe they were losing money on it.
I know Legends of Runeterra was losing money lately and they cut most of their staff.
But even if this was the case, this move just kills the game.
it will turn off most if not all casual players, and a game with no casual players is a dead game.
Most likely scenario is likely they will lower the quest requirements in a week or two and expect us to say "thank you".
not gonna happen.

You realize there's been an expansion every 4 months for years now yeah?
That's how card games work

Literally who cares?

Another card that discounts cards to zero..
When will they learn?
This enables your brann + whatever combo next turn for your OTK, which means the downside of "Dying in 3 turns" is irrelevant.
And like every zero cost discount, this will get nerfed too.

That's a straight up better Swipe

Doubt it.
Even at 5 mana a lot of decks dropped him.
At 6 mana, only very specific decks relying on stealing cards would take him.

Was probably designed before locations were designed.
(They don't release expansions in the order the designers created them)

II swear this is the most consumer non-friendly ever created.
AND I PLAY IT!
I don't know why I expected them to be even slightly fair.
1000 rare coins for 50 rare coins. come on.

I love this!
Amazing work, really easy to use and a very fun idea!
