Hearthstone Price Changes Coming to Europe
Hearthstone goodies are about to get more expensive in Europe to "align with local and regional market conditions". These new prices go live on the 22 of March, before the new expansion goes live in April. We're assuming there will be no change to the current Un'Goro pre-order purchase and recommend getting in on that while you can.

WHAT? I was also thinking they would drop the price now that they have three expansions per year instead of two. But no... I think I might be one that won't be continuing collecting HS.
So, if I want to get about all cards in an expansion, I need to buy the pre-order set and four sets of 60 card packs. I bought this amount of stuff for each expansion before. However, I think I won't be buying ANY more boosters. Some math below:
Previously: 2x50€ + 2x4x63€ + 20€(adventure) = 624€ (per year)
Now: 3x50€ + 3x4x70€ = 990€
....
I can't even... what? Instead of using bit over 600 per year (which is a lot of money anyways), the same setup would now cost me about 1000€ per year. That's almost doubling the required money. What!? Thanks alot Blizz... I was spending 600 per year, now I think I won't be spending any.
If I still play the game, I think it will be wild for me. Standard just became too expensive to upkeep. Playing wild with old decks might be fun sometimes but that's about it.
I know EU and GB have some taxes etc that raise the price, but really, its digital stuff, just cut the monetary wins from EU side a bit and it would be a wash. Or dump the 3rd expansion per year. Or something.
You can't be affected by price changes
If you are a full F2P player.
Price increases?
WTF why increase the prices the packs are expensive anyway for the little they give I calculated the actual value of the preorder I was inclined on preordering but it's 175 shekels I can buy a new game with it or .. food for a week.. I will just save up gold like I always do I am not going to buy 50 packs in the price I paid for overwatch as a whole.. :/
I am working and all but it's just expensive AF..
Bought karazhan and some packs those were fine I guess karazhan was worth since it was cheapish and the whole thing gave some entretainments so it was worth.. oh well 1.2K gold atm need 3 more till april :)
Blizzard greedier than ever. Only card expansions, card packs more money now. GJ BLIZZ !!
Oof, that's a pretty heavy increase for the brits.
It was too expensive before.. It is rediculous now.
Euro is not equal to gbp..
Calm down boys!These changes have been made while thinking the returning players..It's not for us.
Kappa
I bought enough packs in the past,
My point of view: it's not worthy to spend anything on this game anymore,
After GVG: every expansion became worst than the previous ones
and Blizzard keeps doing tricks to leech more money from you (remember the custom-characters? Bahamas? Heroic Browls? and now the price-change)
I didn't register for any of these events above, but still, it's a very dirty move by them
OK, What they gives you in return?
* more RNG based cards
* SMORC meta
* brainless decks
* a '300$ card pack' (painted by Leonardo Da Vinci)
* no fun in game
Let's compare this with another game:
The Witcher 3 with all expansions packs (2 expansions) and more than 16 DLCs [complete full game]: $50 USD
Hearthstone pre-order [cheaper price] of 50 packs: $50 USD (and you will not get even half of the new expansion cards)
Can you see what's wrong now?
If you care about game quality, please do not buy anything from Blizzard
If nobody buys anything from them they will focus more in improving the game and reducing the prices to get back their users
preorder looks a lot more interesting now
Prices have already gone up on iOS
First they announce 3 expansions this year. Ok it's not that bad. Now when i saw price changing i was:"they're making the packs cheaper finally" ,and after i saw the 70euros for 60 packs... They're taking us like fools,what's next?removing gold from the game? I don't even know what to expect anymore...but i'm starting to get sick.
When you talk about price changing most of the times everyone expects lower prices,but noo "let's make 60 packs for 70 euros because we can,these fools can't do anything,they're not gonna quit the game". This might be the end for me as a HS player. (and for those saying go away HS is a better place if you leave:you can stay,let blizzard make what they want with you,spend even more till you realize this is a rip off )
They are not doing anything for us,the community,all the things they're doing are against us. Do they even care about their players?! I'm not from Great Britain but look at their old and new prices,if that's not a rip off i don't know what to say.
What are the "market conditions"?
Hearthstone never was a cheap game, but what are the reasons making it even more expensive? I am not a 100% f2p player, but seems like i m going to be with all that price increasing.
At least i hope they will somehow increase f2p rewards in the year of mammoth.
And rly why the hell it is only eu?
With Hearthstone, I can buy the pre-launch bundle for 50 bucks (or even a bit cheaper if I use amazon coins) and I can finance the rest of the packs and single cards through in-game-currency. And that is sufficient to build decks that are semi-competitive to competitive.
Why did they raise the prices, what the hell man
Hm, i was expecting a price DROP... What are they thinking. Regional market conditions are not possitive on the consumer side, i for one will be getting less packs now. Thats for sure. What a shame :(
For some reason they keep reminding us we are second-class players. At least that's how it feels.
