Leveling up the mercenaries, collecting coins and completing tasks feels rewarding... but the game is not fun to play IMO. Every battle quickly starts to feel the same. It's definitely a mode that is designed for making people addicted to that hit of dopamine you get for completing small tasks etc.
I usually LOVE PvE content. I have spent hours playing Dungeon Run, Rumble Run, Dalaran Heist and Tombs of Terror. I really liked playing though the Books of... as well. But this? It's not for me. Probably because it's not a card game.
I still don't understand why Blizzard have turned Hearthstone into a platform for mobile games rather than just making an entirely new game. It feels so clunky - the fact that there are two shops (both of which sells mercenaries pack, but only one who sells Hearthstone packs), different places for daily tasks/quests, and that you're opening coins in packs, which doesn't really make any sense... I think they could have made a better game by making it entirely its own thing.

A Legendary Holidays to you as well! This site has really enhanced my Hearthstone experience. From 80g trading, to creative off-meta deck ideas, to connecting with folks around the world, and more, I appreciate it. None of my friends IRL play, so it is great to have a place to see what other people are thinking, share our joys of great pack openings and bad RNG sorrows. Thanks for all you do to keep it going, mods, staff, devs, and writers!

Got a golden Wisp and I'm not even sad about it, 'cause I also got an epic! ( Shadowform. )

Having fun with Jeweled Macaw and Dire Frenzy. Different every time, depending on which beasts your Macaws drop!
Give it a try. If you get a Snowflipper Penguin or Angry Chicken, you can buff them with Dire Frenzy, and they keep their original cost. Got one win with an 11-attack Chicken. Then I barely eeked out a win against a Naturalize + Novice Engineer Druid, only because I got a Giant Anaconda to summon a Stranglethorn Tiger, which I was able to buff while stealthed, and replenish my deck.

Nobody is answering OP's original question! I'll bite.
No, we cannot agree about changes like these, because this community can't agree on anything.

Oh no! Who are all the salty people going to blame for everything now?

Got my 3rd golden hero, and with my favorite class!

I'm having some issues with the Bittertide Hydras resulting in my getting killed off- anyone else having this problem? Any ideas how to avoid this?

Fun deck! Agree with the above that Master Oakheart is really good here.
I only have one Witchwood Grizzly right now, so I tried subbing in Ixlid, Fungal Lord with decent success. I could never fit Ixlid in before, because my opponent would kill it right off, a soft taunt that prevented me from making a better board state. But with Oakheart pulling it out behind some taunts, you can really go crazy with it.
Still playing around with iterations of this. Also, can we agree that upgraded Druid hero power is amazing?! Really useful against murloc and dude Pallys.
