RedSoxFan3 posted a message on Cost to Play Hearthstone Too HighPosted in: General DiscussionWhen I started playing hearthstone back in the pre-gvg days, free to play was a possibility. I remember getting to rank 10 with a super basic control priest deck.
When gvg came out I remember getting discouraged because Piloted Shredder was the best 4 drop in the game and had 4 power. That's back when most of the best cards were still commons and rares. Eventually I saved up for Dr Boom and I didn't have to drop any significant money into the game.
The past 2 editions, Blizzard decided to jack up the price of the game by making the new editions way stronger than previous ones, making epics and legendaries consistently better than they were previously, and deciding to do away with adventures because they were less profitable. 3500 gold and you get an entire adventure. 3500 gold gets you 35 packs of a new edition, which essentially amounts to maybe a single legendary, 2 if you are lucky.
Eventually I decided that Free2Play was kinda boring and I'd have more fun buying the adventures and pre-purchase, because it would be easier to get more cards and have fun experimenting with the cards.
In the past I could buy the adventures, buy the pre-purchase, and then do all the daily quests with the occasional arena run and get every card epic and legendary that either dominated the meta or felt good/fun enough to craft.
But now if you really want to do just have fun building new unique decks that are good enough to be fun to play and climb to at least rank 10, you basically need to not only buy every pre-purchase, but then do every daily quest every day for the entire year, and then buy an additional 100 dollars worth of cards. The only alternative is to do 1-2 arena runs every day assuming that you are semi-infinite averaging 5-6 wins per run.
The problem is that the new arena is fucking boring as shit. Every deck and game is the same. There are no deck archetypes in the new arena. Every fucking deck is an attrition deck. It feels like a mirror match every damn game.
The only reason people spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on Magic the Gathering is because if they decide to, they can sell their cards and recoup their money.
But this game the cards have no value, because you can't even trade them or sell them, but they still think that their game is worth hundreds of dollars a year to be able to fully experiment with all the cards and fully enjoy the game for what it is.
Blizzards Greed ruined WoW when they dumbed it down and made it too accessible. Then their greed ruined Diablo 3 when they dumbed it down and put all the focus on the Auction House. Now they are ruining Hearthstone by being greedy once again.
I've quit for at least a month or two and I have no desire to return. Instead I've been playing mostly Path of Exile, the game Diablo 3 should have been all along.
Maybe if they go to a new format where it's just 20 dollars per expansion and you get all the cards, I'll be more interested. Or if rather than buying packs, you just buy dust. I'd be interested in that too.
More than 60 dollars a year for what's really not a deep competitive game like this is a joke. MtG still blows this out of the water. In hearthstone I can beat the best players I know about 25% of the time. In MtG I have friends that I have beaten maybe once. I don't even remember it happening.
The problem is that HS has no interaction and tons of RNG. The only real fun and skill in the game is deck building. And when the content is limited by greedy businessmen, I'm no longer going to support such a disgusting franchise.
