What's on Your Hearthstone Wishlist for Next Year?
Hearthstone Game Designer, August Dean Ayala, took to Twitter yesterday to ask the community what they'd like to see from the game next year.
So HearthPwnians, what stuff do you want to see from the game next year? Personally, I'd love to see more of the developer insights series that Ben Brode started and I won't even be picky about who you put on.
Overwatch's Game Director, Jeff Kaplan, does pretty regular updates for that community and they're filled with insight. Talk to us about some upcoming content, even if its vague. Provide us with interesting stats here and there - don't be afraid to release stuff like that. Or hey, I know this sounds crazy, but maybe you guys could even use that blog for updates that aren't guacboi.
Quote from @IksarHSWhat's on your Hearthstone wishlist for 2017?
Icecrown and Arthas
ingame will always be:
1 better
2 easier to use
A way to gift dust/gold to friends.
I like the idea, but people could abuse this to create multiple accounts and just give all gold from daily quests to a main account :/
True. :/
I can't wait for the next expansion of Hearthstone, design of deception...
Just pay attention to arena Blizzard! Things like keeping Purify and C'thun out of arena are a good start, but arena specific balance changes in the future would be great. Perhaps you could add arena-specific brawls alongside regular brawls to test ideas out for arena balance?
Also, PLEASE create long-term arena rewards! I almost play ranked solely to try for the golden cards and to work towards golden heroes, but it would be so great if I could try to unlock golden arena cards or golden arena heroes using the arena. A lot of people have also posted in interest of golden arena cards.

Auto-squelch option, please!
All Class Legendary Cards automatically in Classic set (after their set rotates out) and some suitably fun/game enhancing Neutral Legendary (Kel'thusad, Lotheb, Emperor T, Gazlow).
I still would love to be able to use my golden cards in Arena! Gives more of an opportunity to play with some of my less meta-centric golden cards that have more value in arena (i.e. Starfall, Worgen Infiltrator, Amani Berserker, etc.)
Arena leader board and a sealed draft world championship for the 16 best arena players.
New hero skins.
New ladder system and tournament mode for constructed.
Larger and more frequent expansions like MTG.
Make older expansions and adventures available to purchase.
New tutorial system for new players.
Not that everyone doesn't want something for nothing, but a better dust ratio would be nice. Especially if you pull dupes from packs. It sucks that if I do pull a legend, and it happens to be one I have or don't want, that I only get 400 dust when it costs 1600 to create the one I need. Maybe a 50% cut would be more fair. It'd at least help for those not on an unlimited budget to stay up to par, while you all can still make money. Plus it still prevents new players from dusting their entire collection. The only time we really get any value from dusting is nerfs, and then we are usually losing a card we were using as well, due to the nerf. And sometimes, if the card is in the main set, we're just losing a card. It makes it more difficult to keep up with the meta.
This could be the basis for an entire expansion. I like it.
All I want is a tournament mode. That's it.
Better GUI. Remove common reward from the arena.
Replays!
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to save those awesome games/moments without having to record or stream every game you play? StarCraft 2 already has this, and it would be MUCH more easy to implement in a card game...
