Don’t worry about it, you’re doing me a favour. Whenever I feel a temptation to play the game again, I’ll read something along the lines of: « I knowingly abused something I knew was broken and I found it hilarious » and it’ll kill any urge I might’ve had to get involved with the userbase in any way shape or form. So I end using my time doing more productive and fun things.
... and yet, for some reason, you're here... replying to a forum about a game you allegedly don't play. Certainly not "productive", and if this is what passes as "fun" in your world...
Methinks the... person... doth protest too much.

It's interesting that people complain about 'greed' etc whilst seemingly bragging about the fact that they've played a game for years and years and never paid a penny. Seems like you've milked plenty of content from a game that costs money to create and maintain. Pot, kettle, black much?
Arw you seriously dumbstruck by why a company panders to paying customers more than customers who literally just skim free service and nothing else? How ridiculous and entitled are you haha? There's plenty of content for free players. Absolutely plenty. Hearthstone is more than value for no money.
And why do you need to convince other people to also not play? Does that make you feel.... More secure or? Like, why?
When I don't find hearthstone fun. I don't play. If there's a game mode I don't like, don't agree with the pricing of or think is a swizz? I don't play it. It's really simple. I've barely touched arena, don't like the format. Never touched mercenaries, seems like a meh mode and I cba keeping up with it and I think I've bought the bg battle pass once, when I went through a minor phase of really enjoying it.
Know how many forums, sub reddits and social media platforms I created threads on about it? None. Why? Because it's such a bizarre waste of time. Do you. Be happy with whatever it is you want to do.
But I find it weird that there's a subset of people who seemingly need to convince themselves they are doing the right thing and take to the Internet to get some sort of validation?
Seriously. Why not just not play haha? I say this as someone who only vaguely knows what twist is, have never played and may well never bother but cannot for the life of me understand why you've decided that your perspective is important enough to come and make a thread with a title literally telling people what they should or shouldn't do.

This is a good thing. It stops it being min maxxed to within an inch of its life and that makes it a welcome break. There are enough game modes you can try hard in, rng fests are brilliant as a side option in this game.

This is a great example of what I mention above. I've no idea why you're here or putting time into the game, I can only assume that this is an emotional rant and you don't really mean or believe that this is a fair summary of the game. I think you'd need to be truly moronic to genuinely think this about a game (or anything else for that matter) and yet be putting time into not only the game but also being active on an external site. Nothing you say here fairly addresses the question at all, it's clearly very emotional and biased and goes off onto weird tangents about homeless people.
Weird moral high ground to take. If you're that bothered, get off your armchair, log out of hearthstone and put your time into doing soenthing productive for people less fortunate than yourself.
So dishonest to suggest that the only reason people play and put money into the game is because they are stupid. You're showing your own ignorance in even suggesting that.
The irony in you repeatedly bashing people's intelligence but then thinking this is a clever, insightful, logical and objective post is just funny.
Put. The. Game. Down. Log out of this site. Do something with your time that makes you happy and feels producotbe. Go solve homelessness etc, you're clearly way too big brain and intelligent to be messing about on a kid's game (your words, not mine). Do you not feel embarrassed to be slating it and the reasons people have to for playing it whilst simultaneously being active outside the game etc?
Take your moral and intellectual superiority and do something useful, friend.

HS being fun or not is both subjective and flexible. It goes up and down, has good periods and bad periods.
This is the first time I've visited this site in many, many months. I've honestly found that what makes HS the least fun..... Is its community. For what is now probably over a year/18 months, I've not engaged with any aspect of the community, not looked for expansion news etc, I've gone in to everything about HS just blind.
I have no care for heat ranl I finish anymore, I play decks I enjoy and if I stop enjoying them or there aren't any, I play a different mode or just stop logging in for several weeks all together.
Maybe I don't play for 2 or 3 months, then have a 6 week burst where I play every evening. I just come and go as I please and have no idea what the community consensus is on overpowered cards, decks or the state of any modes.
The end result is sometimes I love HS, sometimes I don't but my overall enjoyment of it is so much better without any of the noise surrounding the game. There are a good amount of odd posters on here, people who seem very bitter but addicted for whatever reason. My advice would be to just leave the game and community. It clearly isn't impacting you in a positive way. Come back if you feel bored and need something to play casually or whatever, then dip out again if you aren't enjoying it. The festering negativity of the community in general leaves you with this sinking feeling that the game is bad, but you keep playing because ultimately, the game is pretty fun and easy to pick up, play for a bit and put down.
Overall, I find HS to be a net positive in terms of providing me with a time killer or just straight up casual fun. Too many people take it way too seriously and have what seems to be a really unhealthy relationship with the game. They despise it and Blizzard etc but still crank out hundreds of posts on here and probably hundreds of in game hours. It has some messed up metas and Blizzard have made some very poor choices over the years but if the meta or whatever isn't fun, just dip out. It will have changed completely in 3 or 4 months but the fact that it's always there and can be picked up and played with basically zero need to know what's gone on, keeps it a constant in my library.

I've drastically reduced my time on this site. I still pop by and check for bits of news or updates when I'm having a smoke or whatever and I'll have a nosey at the new posts because it's on the home screen. Reason being exactly what you say, it's honestly just miserable, salty and I assume predominantly young teens.
To the point that I've been disappointed in myself that I've been dragged down to that level and actually been a bit of a dick in many of my own responses. I don't particularly rate the admins either and I feel bad saying that but it seems that someone can be an obnoxious little shit but if you reply in kind, you'll be flagged for flaming. I don't think they manage the community well at all.

People are going to dump hours into complaining about this on Reddit, sites like this etc.
I'll save all that time and do more productive things, wait for the mode to drop, have a play and then if its shit, I might have a moan and move on or just move on. It may not be something I enjoy and you know what...... That's OK! Not everything has to cater to me, not everything has to be to my taste or liking, I've never touched classic mode, want to know how often I've whinged about it? Never......
The quicker certain little snowflakes understand that not everything and everyone is focused on them as individuals and not everything revolves around their particular likes and dislikes, the quicker people can just get on with enjoying what they enjoy. The world can't always look after you, sometimes you have to own decisions you make and if you have problems with addiction etc, put measures in to protect yourself, don't demand that the world change for you.
I have no idea how relevant cash bought things will be. I don't really understand the mode fully at this point. No point spending the next 6 weeks complaining about it though. I'll find out then and make a decision about whether it's a mode that interests me or warrants my time.

What a stupid question. Obviously different teams work on different things, the two things aren't connected. So many of you lot must lack so much work and life experience.
Do you think you just have a group of people who move from one task to the next?

If you're so convinced the game is rigged to the point you have no say in your win rates etc then why the fuck are you playing the game? How monumentally stupid are you? Your wins? Nothing to do with you. Your losses? Not your fault, rigged.
Anyone who genuinely believes this but continues to pump their time into not only the game, but coming in this forum and crying about it is just dense.
The second I became convinced of anything like this in any game or even any other activity in life, I'd be long gone. If it's rigged then what on earth is the point?
More likely, it's crap players with crap attitudes. Just do something else with your time then. If you honestly think it is and has always been rigged then it's completely pointless playing, isn't it? Nothing you do matters, you only win because the game decided for you to, so you never win through your experience, skill or knowledge, so what are you getting from it?
Fucking brain dead community, honestly.

This is a really long ramble to say "I have no evidence but I have strong feelings".
You could easily prove this. Just download the deck tracker from HS replay and have 5 of you flat earthers upload a week of replays and everyone will see the clear and distinct pattern and how the 'rigged rng' can be triggered. It's easy, but you won't do it, because stupid people are led by emotion.
"Fanboys will simply ask for evidence"
Like this. Said as though this is some crazy, unreasonable request. It's not. You lot aren't alone in this either, every game I play has sections of the community saying this shit. Fifa have had it for years. Bad players making themselves feel better by convincing themselves it isn't them, that the game must be rigged against them. Its so boring now, I've never seen anything remotely convincing to confirm these accusations. I'm happy to accept it, I have zero interest in defending any company or game, I genuinely don't give a crap. If someone can post something that proves it, cool, I'll happily accept it. I have no special feeling towards this game and certainly not towards Blizzard so leave the predictable 'FaNbOy' to the side. Just upload some evidence and we can all put this behind us.
