Haha today i met a Bot on D5 standard,he was an legendary player also he had the Cardback.

He played hunter,and the moves was the same every turn.

 Bots have been in Hearthstone almost since the game released.

Still haven't faced a bot. Surely it has to be that your MMR is so low, that you're facing people who lose every game. 

 You sure about that? Bots are capable of reaching legend.

Double Jaraxxus! Having two Jaraxxuses (Jarraxus? Jarraxi?) is sweet. Honestly, as a combo player there's nothing too interesting - which seems fair. The Johnny cards should realistically come in the expansions.

 I got some sad news for you...

 Which is? Two different cards as I understand it, particularly as they're two different types of cards. Should both be usable in Wild, right?  Or is core set STD only or some tripe? No, that would make the entire thread pointless.

Or do you mean on Johnny cards? Considernig how recently Il'gy got printed...

 Nope, there is only one version for standard/wild. The old version is gone, except for in the new classic mode.

To be fair, I wish I encountered bots on EU server. I can't really say that I have. Probably they are only in the lower ranks, since they won't win. If I were you, just see it as a free win, despite it's annoying to have a long game. And hey, it also gives YOU more XP ;-). 

 Lol, bots are smart enough to reach legend, so you might've run into some.

Quote from adpbnp101 >>

XP isn't awarded for lenght of a game but total time in game....so that's not the reason. Must ropers think they get an easy win, so its strategy, and its allowed.... All things go within the rules of the game......But I agree, it's a shitty strategy.

 No, that is the reason. Longer games = less time in menus = more xp per hour.

Quote from Pherosizm >>

I played a game in the Brawl today against a warrior... he made legitimate plays as soon as his turn started, spent his mana, seemed real.

Then roped.

Every turn.

This doesn't seem like a bot to me. Is it just a JERK?

I gotta be honest, this is the kind of thing that is going to make me annoyed at HS. But how would Blizzard even fix that? People should be allowed to take their time and think. But to do this on purpose when you don't need to... uhg.

 People are only doing it because Blizzard encourages them to do it by designing a system in which you are rewarded more by afking than playing.

Ahh yes, a more expensive game with less players is such a good idea. Why dont blizzard just increase the price of packs to 200 gold, then there'd be even less players,

 Told ya, blizz out to milk the whales and try to pick up a few spenders out of the f2p's while alienating the rest. This is what a game looks like when the devs are just trying to get as much cash out of it as they can before it dies. 

Keep in mind though, that there are still people defending Blizzard and claiming that HS is cheap and anyone who thinks otherwise is whiner.

 I think the amount of people who actually think that is rather small, there are some highly vocal people who are paid to say that and give the impression that people think that. 

 Lmao what a ridiculous conspiracy theory

Companies dont pay people to go forum troll dude. That makes no sense. 

HS isn't cheap, per se, but the only ccgs on the market with a better monetization model are maybe Gwent and to some extent Runeterra. 

 

I believe it has a fair cost for what you're getting. You can play HS entirely f2p and I did for over 5 years, I only started buying last year because I started making more money and could afford it.

 

They've even been adding more and more extras to the preorder bundles over time, as well as handing out free cards and packs like candy, even entire free decks.

Things that Blizz has added over the course of the game:

Pack reward quests

Guaranteed legendary in 1st 10 packs

Free legendary every xpac

Increased gold rewards from quests

Free singleplayer content, that in many cases awards packs

Free additional game modes

Entire current meta decks for new and returning players

An entirely new class that you get the whole set for free

Etc etc.

 

What exactly are you expecting from.a free to play game? Do you expect to be able to have a meta deck of every class or something? I mean dont get me wrong I would love that, but it's not realistic.

 They've added a bunch of ways to get more rewards, which is great. However, the game has become more expensive to play over the years, which you should also consider:

They removed a yearly adventure and added a new expansion per year.

They added adventures back on top of the 3 yearly expansions.

Expansions will now have 25% more cards.

People who want to pay thousands for everything are idiots. There is a middle ground where you get your moneys worth, and sadly Hearthstone ain't that way.

It is not a problem that they want to earn money, the problem is how they do so.

The game is simply too expensive, which it also was before the new reward system.

I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone I know, even though I play a lot and really love playing.

Just for the record guys: none of the BIG GUYS (Kripp, Trump, Kibler) have outed their opinion regarding this gamewide issue. Don't let them ever fool you thinking they are on our side. Because they are not. They don't get their pay from Blizzard, but from their fans. But they are so stingy, that they are afraid to lose the free bundles they recieve from them for keeping their mouth shut. I am disapointed.

 Kripp didn't skip

• Ben earns 5000 Gold per expansion cycle, he does not expect to earn less in the new system.

 And yet he WILL earn less.

Quote from Platy >>

Not really siding with Blizzard, just that it doesn't matter to me whether it is the new or old system. 

All these years, I usually pilot just one or two decks to legend or at least rank 5 each expansion. 

When I get bored of ranked, I play arena or battlegrounds which are entirely nothing to do with your collection.

I don't see how the new system will affect me. 

 So it wont affect you that you'll have less gold and cards?

Yes it does.
