Whoa Popeye, you just went way off the deep end. I'm out.
And yes, everyone who agrees with me is a Blizzard spy. They have a multi-million dollar network of forum posters. Which, again, doesn't answer my question about which part was wrong.
The answer is - it depends. There are different ways to play hearthstone and that means there are very different prices. Price is different for
1) Playing casually with whatever decks you can assemble 2) Having 1 meta deck 3) Having several meta decks 4) Having all standard cards 5) playing only battlegrounds 6) and so on
Some are very expensive, some are very cheap. For example, it is trivial to get 2,5K gold per season as battlegrounds-only player, especially if you are willing to spend some time doing non-battleground quests.
I don't understand something. Why is their race or sex relevant when it comes to who is invited? Is the Invitational supposed to be a competition? And if so, based on what, what is being measured in said competition?
Invitationals aren't exactly competitions. They are more like a show. They choose popular players, not the best players (For example Kripp is an AWFUL duels player but has a huge audience coming with him.)
BTW, anyone who runs an invitational wants diversity. They want players popular within different groups. Truth is that huge majority couldn't care less about gender, orientation, ethnicity, religion, etc., They only care if player is interesting for them to watch\root for.
Zeddy has a history of abusing and bullying devs online. He doesn't even really hide it. He's an immature manchild that constantly whines and complains. He routinely trashes and bans his own twitch viewers and subscribers if they even remotely get out of line. Zeddy is merely using this outrage to further his views and if you believe Zeddy to be the voice of reason during these times, then you are the problem. He's entertaining sure but he's the worst person to lead this movement or whatever it is.
Nobody else brought nearly as much attention to the problems within Hearthstone as Zeddy.
Kripp, RDU, Zalae, whoever else, just play their little BG matches day to day and pretend everything's alright with the game, raking in EZ money in the process. They stay silent on matters such as this, they don't care about the little people. Meanwhile they get invited to prestigious events and advertise them left and right. If you think any of these people are better than Zeddy then maybe you are the problem.
Do you know WHY they are invited to prestigious events? Do you think it is because they "lick Blizzard's ass?". No. It is because they are popular streamers. And they got their audiences by their charisma and hard work.
Zeddy is a streamer of different weight category (20K twitch followers is nothing comparing to what those guys have) and now he tries to gain popularity by pandering to people who enjoy hearing negativity. It isn't anything new. I know successful youtube channels that do nothing except saying how awful popular franchises are and how their owners ignore and\or exploit "true fans".
Zeddy isn't the only one who expressed displeasure with the new battlepass, but neither Solem nor Deckster nor anyone else I am familiar with went for manipulations or attacked unrelated stuff like the duels tournament or Give C'thank bundle.

this guy is just plain toxic, thats all. all he does is bashing and ranting about blizzard and the new reward system. he lies about the cost of an new expansion. in his excel sheet he claims, that you need 2k$ for an expansion to have all the cards. wtf, is he on crack? i opened ~145 packs from Darkmoon Faire, crafted a few legendaries and i have 124 out of 135 Cards. I even decided to keep 5k gold and i can disentchant all the duplicates if i need to. thats a little difference between my ~150 packs and his proclaimed ~1500 - ~2000 packs. the worst part of this is, people believe him and then they come to heartpwn and post this shit in this forum
I suspect it is what you need for a full golden collection. He just "forgot" to mention it
The only reason to invite someone to an invitational is to get more viewers. Invitationals are not charity, neither they are sports events. Blizzard picks streamers who will bring their audiences to the tournament.
But honestly, I believe that Zeddy will now attack anything related to Hearthstone. It looks very much like he wants to take the niche of a content creator who does nothing but unloads tons of negativity on a franchise\company. It attracts a certain kind of audience.
In the previous system you immediately see your gold go up after a quest or 3 wins. This feels rewarding and gets you closer to another pack or arena ticket.
If I was in their place I would add additional, minor but immediate rewards to daily\weekly quests. 5-10 gold, random card (with average dusting cost 10, so mostly commons but with a chance to open anything), discount for the next arena\heroic duel.
I'm currently at Level 25 and need 3,450 XP for the 150g that comes with reaching Level 26. This represents almost 4 daily quests' XP. In the old system it would've taken fewer than 3 dailies to net the same gold.
While the new system has its flaws, this kind of manipulation is simply ridiculous.
You pretend that weekly quests don't exist. We are talking about 6500 weakly XP, aka ~900 XP per day. That means you are simply ignoring nearly a half of daily XP gain from quests. That means that 3450 XP takes two days (min daily XP is 800XP(min daily quest)+900XP (1/7th of weekly quests) And don't say me that doing weekly quests is too hard. It is no harder than doing all dailies.
translation, what if blizzard found a way to make wild more expensive by buffing a bunch of legendaries people dusted years ago, gotta make sure that no one can keep competing unless they pay.
Pretty sure that the person posted this didn't have that intention...
Sure, but it is the problem of most suggestions there. When suggesting something, one must think about how it impacts all players.
As I said, the only fair way to do it is to let people craft buffed legendaries for 400 if they ever owned it. Yet I doubt that Blizzard keeps the information about what we dusted 5 years ago (see achievements were they don't know basic stuff like arena wins with classes)
I think buffs are acceptable only if they introduce a system that if you previously owned a buffed card and dusted it, then you can craft it back for the disenchantment cost.
I will be incredibly salty if they buff Moroes or some other easily dustable legendaries I send to the bin over the years,
No, murlocs are based on old school MTG goblin play, not slivers.
Original Murloc Warleader was very sliver-like. If you remember, it gave +2+1 aura buff to murlocs on both sides of the board. Grimscale Oracle had a similar effect of giving +1 attack to all murlocs. Old Murk-Eye is the only artifact of that early version of murlocs.

Do you reroll when you have 3 daily quests? AFAIK it will always give an easy (800XP) one in this case.

Wait, they pay you in $? I get only packs :(

That kind of stuff would be detected by HSreplay nearly instantly.

I expect they'll roll it with a new major patch that will also add new stuff to duels.

So, you claim that you play as many hours as a streamer, right?
