Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)So to pretty much get this straight they start a fundraiser for a good cause in hopes of raising proceeds then they put a very restrictive requirement on it that cripples its fundraising capability. Seems like this was well thought out.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)It's an Apple promotion called "Apps for Earth." It makes sense that it's exclusive to iOS.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)Sometimes complaints are funny or little entertaining. Easy solution is just log in on someones iphone or whatever. And if you can't is it really that big of deal if you cant play with this portrait? Good chance something will follow later for non IOS users, and if not oh well. I dont use i anything and none of my friends play HS on theirs so wont be getting this and really dont care either way. They're raising money for charity, good for them.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)Another hero for a class that already has one.
iOS exclusive, if this is really for charity why are you doing this you get less people to buy the skin.
How much can you fail in a single move Blizzard

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)The guy right above you explains it's an Apple Promotion. A lot of other guys here say the same. Someone even posted a screenshot. Got it? It's an apple promotion.
Oh and by the way: it's an Apple Promotion.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)If you are all ok with this cardback existing then you are a hypocrite for hating on the iOS promotion.
Many of you are ok with a Samsung only promotion but hate an iOS only promotion.
Looks like this more more about being anti Apple then it is about equality for access to all promotions.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)However, this IOS exclusive is a bullshit, no way to obtain this hero for people who don't like to waste money on **** devices.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)Hero Portait > Card Back.
If I were to play Devils Advocate. Personally, I couldn't care less. Good for Blizzard in participating in a charity. (I have the Samsung Cardback, and it is my favorite. Mobil3 is the only way I can play Hearthstone, so it's good for iOS to get something of there'should as well)

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)I got the cardback and dont have a samsung phone, just like I don't own a iphone and will probably get them mage pic also. People would just rather complain than find out a way and do it.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)Lets be honest, tons of people hated on that Samsung promotion as well. Not to mention a hero is a lot more interesting than a card back.
I think this iOS only promotion is stupid. I thought the Samsung only promotion was stupid as well. This is coming from someone who owns and regularly plays Hearthstone on an Ipad.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)Cardbacks and heroes are all vanity content. We should not have to run an android emulator for that card back. We all should have access to this new mage hero. Blizzard said no. Samsung got the cardback and iOS gets the Mage hero. That's the way the cooke crumbles. I'd rather everyone be able to get them all but Blizzard disagrees with me.
People saying the cardback was easy to get totally miss the point. Both are device exclusives.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)Yes they are different. Different kinds of content you do not need to play the game.
I do think both should have had the same kind of vanity content though, just to be fair. But this is not equality we are talking about, it's Blizzard.

Posted Apr 14, 2016 (Explorers)In all honestly, I would totally support this if it was blizzard profit, but because its for the WWF (world wildlife fund) I am totally against this. They lost my business when they sued the WWF (world wrestling federation). Now I have to hear kids say WWE. To the current WWF I say "get the f out"
