The only thing "plain and simple" is that you and lots of others who agree with you obviously have ZERO clue what the word/term Predatory means, in regards to anything. If you want something predatory, go look at student loans. THAT'S predatory.
Student loans will make you become something (unless u want to blame the country, politians and lots of other unrelated stuff for your loss into become anything in your life);
A children's game will not get u anywhere in life, specially if u have to spend almost a student loan to have a complete collection of any , ANY expansion (yes expansion not game).
So yes, it's a predatory system, like a club where u have to pay to be a loser like them. -

Shafik665 posted a message on Stop stealingPosted in: General DiscussionSo last announced for blizz is runestone ,and they said they wanted to give smal bundles and offer bla bla bla.
Thing is this is not true ,if you see there announcements you will see they forced it to every other mode in the game, so problem was not battleground ,if you don't believe me check the mini set you , now you either buy it with gold or runestone ,and the decks they used to offer . What blizzard is doing now is simply trying to make huge money before Microsoft takes it all , I believe we should not buy the runestones , nobody should steal our money and honestly they should see how that reflects bad for them greedy people

LordCheesus posted a message on Stop stealingPosted in: General DiscussionIt's a predatory system, plain and simple. It's a system meant to trick you into buying more and more gems/tokens or what ever you want to call runestones. So in that sense it is a form of stealing. It's just not illegal because as you pointed out, it is in fact a choice to buy or not buy. But it doesn't mean it isn't wrong.
It's dirty and it really is a form of stealing. It's just only legal because of lazy and greedy courts that allow these kind of loopholes to exist.
There'll always be the gullible and desperate who'll be into buying what ever is put in front of them, that's just not me. If more players thought with their brains then they'd realize how terrible this system is and how it's designed to drain your accounts as quick as possible.
And it's no coincidence that Blizzard is implementing this system board wide across all games. It's disgusting.

XanKortal posted a message on So it started...RunestonesPosted in: General DiscussionQuote from AnimationCancering >>The thing that drives me up the walls the most is that they said that they wouldn't make prices that can't be fit properly in the available bundle sizes, and yet literally the very first batch of prices they add, they are selling battlegrounds hero skins for 150 runestones, with the lowest bundle size being 500 runestones...
Like literally the very first batch of items, they already apply the predatory pricing that everyone was worried about and that they said they wouldn't do, it's just insane to me...As for BG skins, they used to be sold in packs of 15€ for 8 of them or 20€ for 7+1 Bartender Skin, which means that the lowest amount of money you needed to spend for 1 single skin you wanted (never mind not liking the resr of the skins) was indeed 15€
With skimds being 150 Runestones, the treshold to not having leftovers runestones is 1500 (15€) which would net you 10 skins of your choice, that's a 20% increase in skins PLUS the ability to chose the ones you want compared to having to stick with a bundle, and since you were forced to buy the bundle having the option to buy 1500 runestones is exactly the same but with added benefits
Hate it all you want but that's not a good reason to do so
You've already missed the point of the complaints if you're going to a bigger bundle than the smallest ones.
Yes, the middle sized and larger bundles are getting upgraded marginally for what you get out of your spending, but the low cost items are not.
Imagine a person that literally only wants 3 BG skins.
Before Runestones, that player would say "I want these three skins. Each is $1.50? (Or the equivalent local) Neat. Here'a $4.50." And they got precisely what they wanted out of the deal. Nothing more, nothing less.
Post conversion:
That's 450 runestones, so they'd now be forced to buy the 500 runestone bundle (the smallest bundle available), leaving 50 leftover runestones to metaphorically burn a hole in their pocket. Those players are now incentivized to spend more, even if they don't *want* more, because if they just don't spend those 50 runestones, well that's just net profit for Blizzard.
This is ultimately a predatory spending strategem, geared towards increasing the minimum spending players put in. Period. And

PetiteMouche posted a message on So it started...RunestonesPosted in: General DiscussionI could never thank Blizzard enough for what they did.
I always wanted to stop spending money on Hearthstone, but I'm always too addicted to stop, because money is easy to spend.
Runestones though ? I see no value in purchasing them, so I will never do it despite my gambling addiction. No runestone = no packs, no expansion bundle, no skin. Thank you so much Blizzard, in helping me get a better life and bring you down. Because apparently the law can't stop predators like you, but we can.
The thing that drives me up the walls the most is that they said that they wouldn't make prices that can't be fit properly in the available bundle sizes, and yet literally the very first batch of prices they add, they are selling battlegrounds hero skins for 150 runestones, with the lowest bundle size being 500 runestones...
Like literally the very first batch of items, they already apply the predatory pricing that everyone was worried about and that they said they wouldn't do, it's just insane to me...I feel so sorry for anyone foolish enough to believe that crap. When games add layers of virtual currencies between us and the money, it is never ever in the history of mankind a good thing for the players or the game. What drives me crazy is how the law can let that happen, how governments care so little than such blatant and explicit predatory behavior, manipulation, and literal lies can get away and not be punished. How is this even possible.
Thank you so much Blizzard for your immesurable greed that even the despicable likes of me cannot tolerate anymore. I used to feel sorry for the devs that have to work for this company and are not responsible for such decisions, but deep inside, I think they are cowards for not leaving. Find another job, you are part of the problem, working for them is allowing them to pursue their evil intents. But thank you again for allowing it to happen, you may have helped ruin the video game industry, but you also helped me find better meaning in my life.

Shipmen posted a message on Stop stealingPosted in: General DiscussionYes they are obviously trying to cash in a lot in order to increase the stock value in order to complete maybe the acquisition with Microsoft. In order to be, in future, maybe, saved by them from all this shit.
Anyway, for me, it is an easy “Fuck your crap! Go to hell!”
It is so fun to watch all this vortex of madness that Blizzard is creating. 80€ for 8k Runestone, an in game currency for an 8 years old game always bugged, when a new fully developed Triple-A costs 50/60€.
LOL ahahah. It is so hilarious.

I prefer 20-30 minute games. if Gordon Bombay taught me anything its that games aren't about winning, games are supposed to be fun. nothing as fun as running 45 legendary highlander paladin and randomly farming aggro players who decided to play hearthstone on their shit break at work.

how are they gonna make a graphic for wild hearthstone streams and not have Dane on the damn thing? what kind of muppets are in charge over there?

^spoken like someone who doesnt play casual lol
if you really want to test unique strategies, find some friends. casual consists of about 70% ladder decks, 20% older ladder decks, and 10% wacky creations. if you do find someone playing homebrews, friend em immidiatly. playtesting with them will probably be the best chance to get some creative fun unique games with room to test strategies. in my experience, the potential of games going longer than turn 5 raises exponentially with this method.
i remember watching youtube videos a few years back with a guy that had created cards in the client, the name escapes me, but that points to there indeed being a program out there that might do what you are looking for, even if it is a solo player exercise, you can play both sides of the field. good luck in your search!
