    posted a message on First Deck You're Playing Day 1?

    I'm gonna spend the balance of my dust creating a mana inefficient Waxy Rogue deck, assuming the cards I need don't come as my Golds, that will inevitably crash and burn, because I'm bad at deck building.

    It's gonna be super fun!

    Nope, people are just getting more smarter about including silence in their decks.

     Pretty sure the topic creator means in Battlegrounds, not constructed.

     Pretty sure this is a Hearthstone forum.

     Okay? I'm not sure what your point is.

    Guy was asking if mechs got nerfed in Battlegrounds, the Hearthstone game mode, you responded with a comment about Silence, which doesn't exist in Battlegrounds. 

     My point is, that I am unable to muster up enough force of will to stomach this line of reasoning any further.

    Cool, you're really strange. Anyway, have a good day!

    posted a message on Why the f*ck wasn't amalgam fixed?

    I think the Amalgam changes are coming in the January patch, according to everything I've heard.

    It's not so much that they aren't listening, or have "no idea", or are making random changes... it's that planning, testing, and implementing changes takes time. And honestly, compared to their lead time in responding to issues in the other modes, their Battlegrounds changes have come out with relatively little wait. 

    In other words, chill out, sugar bean, you will get your Happy Meal toy eventually, just mature and learn some patience.

    The job thing, that "i work and i don't have time to play" If you have a Job you can afford 50$ every 4 months, i do and i even pay it during those 4 months, like 12$ a month. In a game you really like and enjoy i don't think it's a great cost. Games like Duel Links are so much expansive to do anything, so yeah i aggre to this guy(not about comparing to MTG, but the cost not being so high)

     Exactly right. Like I realize it costs money to keep up, but as you said if you are working and cannot afford the cheaper pre order bundle when an expansion comes out, you need to just move on to a different game. I would say many gamers spend $50-$60 every 3-4 months or so (if not more frequently) on a new video game. And that's what expansions mean to card games, essentially a new game in that the entire meta shifts and the decks being played change.

    And that is all secondary to the fact that you technically can play this game entirely for free if you put the time in. Especially if you're decent at arena. 

     It's worth noting that 50-60 bucks doesn't get you the full game. It gets you a portion of the game, randomly selected, via 50-60 loot boxes. You can be cool with that, but let's not pretend that it's of comparable value to a game where you pay once and get the whole experience. It's a Skinner box, and we're rats.

     Let's not pretend that a card game can be compared to any non card game. Card packs are loot boxes in a sense, but everyone knows that. Card games always have been and always will be. If that's not your thing, don't play them. 

     Yep, many a poker player has lost because he couldn't find that rare ace card to add to his deck. I get that you meant trading card games, but the rarity and loot boxing is and has always been a marketing scheme, not an inherent or necessary quality of the games themselves. You could easily have Hearthstone or MTG without the exploitative value extraction. 

    Don't get me wrong, I'm still here, having spent 110 dollars. I'm just honest enough to admit that I'm a sucker, and the games could be structured in a way that is more beneficial to the players, it would just mean that Blizzard can't build as many forts out of our money.

    I think you're forgetting, Heroic classes get sidequests, so clearly balanced with the world eating dragon.
