Yeah, I'm sure no one wants to read your findings, because unless Ben Brode's your half brother, you know just as much as we do.

No-one is going to like some ridiculous claim with no reasoning whatsoever.

Sinti posted a message on Arena Packs becoming Random?Posted in: General DiscussionQuote from MechBearCat jumpLetting people choose which pack they want causes irritations down the road.
I know everyone jokes about the famous "people are too stupid for more deckslots or tokens or whatever" , but fact is that whenever people are presented with a choice, they can and will make mistakes. And by mistakes I don't mean poor judgement in general, I'm talking about things like purchasing the wrong packs.
And what happens when they misclick and purchase the wrong pack with their tokens? They attempt to undo their mistake by calling the customer service. And even if Blizzard declares that there is no going back once you purchased your packs, people would still try. And that try loses them money, if only due to employees having to deal with it. So yeah, the random pack solution isn't pretty, but perfectly understandable in my opinion. And here we are not even talking about the pain of re-designing the UI for the tokens (including on phone!).
I'm really the last person to defend Blizzard, because they ARE greedy as hell (because they can), but this change is reasonable in my opinion. Even with the obvious downsides. And hey, as said earlier, maybe there will be the possibility to not get a pack at all, but a full gold reward instead. The wording "whenever a pack is rewarded" is still there, after all?
There doesnt have to be any new token mechanic, simply make a new type of pack, with "?" icon for example, when u click on it, u will get a choise (for example like with druid choose one mechanic) and u can choose which pack u want to be awarded. Random pack is pure BS now with 3 different ones, imagine later on when there will be 5 or more, total crap for new and old players.
Dont give me that it is good to have possibility to get all "important" cards from all expansions, there are VERY few top key cards, that u want/need from each and players will be crafting at minimum one copy of them in 90% cases anyway, so if they could at least choose pack and limit the possibilites of card pool their gona get the card from and focus into the set they want, that would be much much better... nothing then forcing ppl to buy packs (= more money) hides behind this decision, no other argument will make this randomized choise valid.

Another card to be revealed soon. Not too shabby if you ask me. When those chicken decks take over the meta we will be prepared!

Now I know I might be talking crazy but if you have an owl and getting your hero frozen by the chugga chugga is the problem then, and follow me here, why not silence the chugga chugga? It's not as quick but it certainly is longer lasting.

Oh? Didn't see it. Now I feel silly.

We aren't DONE seeing good cards? That would imply we've started seeing good cards at some point, Ben.

I disagree it's too generous. Sure if you rack up the wins you can come out ahead but you have to figure that the number of actual infinite players is tiny, probably so tiny as to be negligible in the big scheme of things. The average arena player is more realistically going only going to get in the 3-5 win range which will earn them a booster pack and a small amount of gold and/or dust. All told that probably gets them close to busting even their initial investment give or take a few gold. The truth of the matter is that there are probably multiple times over as many people getting 3 or fewer wins than there are people coming out ahead thanks to Arena play.

This sucks so fucking hard.

Exactly! Let me pick. I mean, I already have full sets of both Basic and GvG so those packs are absolutely worthless to me. The only packs I have any use for are the new ones. If I want to complete my set via Arena like the last two times it's going to take me three times as long. It's just not worth it.

Ugh! Just read the arena update. Now the card pack will be a random pack of either Basic, GvG, or Grand Tournament. Bleh! Just fucking bleh!

I hope the new card packs will be available via Arena play. I suspect they will but I would sure like confirmation for peace of mind.
