Mage is popular since the F2P hero power (the first) is the best one.

If the new hero powers would not require Darkmoon Faire cards, you would see more diversity.

I would say that arena is in a better state than before

Before you did not benefit from the 10 gold per 3 wins, now you get xp (300 xp per hour by my estimation).

standing firm against this corporate greed

 oh my god lol, you folks think you are some kind of activists for not playing a free game

grow up

 Isn't the same about people patronizing them ? You should grow up as well.

I've read on the forums they've disabled the BG floors due to a bug.

Its the same strategy they apply before the reward system. Hide much as you can.

 False, before adding the new reward system they showed your progress towards the 3 wins. Now they show only the big Xp boosts like completing a quest which proves they hide the low Xp intentionally.

I used to get the 100 g with aggro in less than 2.5 hours, with OTK in less than 3.5 hours and with control in less than 4 hours (sometimes less if I faced a lot of aggro players who would concede on turn 6-7). Now it takes at least 9 hours to get the same rewards.

And everyone says Arena is the best way to win gold, but that's false on an average 3-3 score. For someone to get 12 wins, other 4 people must lose 3 times.

Systematic ropers should be ban, that's for sure

 Feeling an urge to ban someone when you dislike their actions is small form of fascism.

They need first update TOS to add a new rule like "not stopping the rope from reaching the other side of the board systematically will lead to account suspension". Then they need to explain what systematically means so people can work around that without getting banned as they always do :)

In the meantime enjoy the mess Blizzard created.

Is it worth to consume electricity for 10-12 hours just to get 100 gold ~ 1 Euro ?

If you really want to farm efficiently, just play WOW, farm gold on AH using addons, buy tokens with that gold, convert those tokens into Blizzard Balance then buy bundles and packs on Hearthstone. It's more efficient.

Isn't it too late to pull back now ? People got angry and refunded before the release. You took your chances, opened your packs and it's done.

If they refunded after release, all the people with crappy legendaries from their packs would refund all the time.

This year we've got no bonuses: no packs, no legendary quests.

<sarcasm> They try their best to make us earn the same amount of gold as before. </sarcasm>

The better question would be why isn't the Tavern pass included in the bundle. And of course the answer is very simple: the people who bought the big bundle for the Nzoth skin will most likely pay another 20 for the other skins. Why giving them for free ?

The old system had golden legendary for BOTH bundles. 

They decided to replace the golden with a regular one for the small bundle :) because they are not greedy at all. We get too much from them so our bundles need to be reduced in quality.

you get one legendary guaranteed every 40 packs. Just spend 100-200 dollars more and then you can complain :D

My problem with whales defending Blizzard is that they would not use the same thinking on other companies.

You all trash EA, Ubisoft and other gaming companies for selling DLCs and microtransactions, but defend Blizzard. On comparison I pay 100 euro at EA for Premier access and I can play all the games while on HS I need to pay 80 euro for 4 legendaries.

Streamers that get invited to their 200.000 invitationals don't talk about the new problems to not lose their dirty money (see Savjz case). Blizzard have them by the balls.

It works the same way as Lightspawn

How many times didn't you use Aldor Peacekeeper on it ?
