Blizzard Rethinking Wild Pack Purchases
Ben Brode was out on reddit this evening and stated the Hearthstone team has been thinking about allowing pack purchases for Wild content due to their additional focus on the gamemode this year. Unfortunately, they aren't ready to say anything else right now.
The thread, "Why can't we buy Wild packs?" has been a question since Standard became a thing back in 2016. Unfortunately, nothing has been said about Adventure content but we can only hope that they too returns should packs for Goblins vs Gnomes and The Grand Tournament make a comeback to the shop.
Quote from Ben BrodeWe've been rethinking our stance on this with our additional focus on Wild this year. Will update you as we have more concrete information.
you don't have 200 dust?
Rope players vote "No".
As for me, i lost my old account with all those gvg cards and Naxx adventure. So it would be awesome if they return those stuff back in the shop!
How did you lose your old account?
Just didn't play for about a year and forgot my password.
In an older statement, they said, they are thinking about how it could work out, to bring wild cards cheaper into play. Purchasing wild packs for lower money then the standard packs would be very interesting way for me. As a collector im a little upset of the actual stand.
Alone the statistically chance of 2 legendarys out of the preorder package is awful. I mean, 50 Euro and you get 2 from 23 legendarys. I cant support this system. I wont spend more money. F$$k no! Actually at the moment i spend nothing cause im grinchy.
Wild Packs for less money would bring me to a point i would start to pay again.
If wild is to be taken seriously as a competitive format or taken seriously as a format at all then this must be done. Adventures should be available for purchase as well.
I wouldn't buy any of these Wild packs (and I have all the adventures), but I fully support them being put back in the store. If people want to get GvG or TGT packs, I'm all for it, and Adventures are a lot of fun and should be available.
Really Ben, you need to think about it...you know you will. Why would you not want another way to ring the register?
bli$$ard strikes again
I'm all for it! Looking forward to opening a golden Sneed's Old Shredder and Dr. Boom

I'd probably buy Naxx for money. And that's all.
I said yes to both but I don't want to purchase them with gold or money or dust
add "wild gold" or something you get for participating in any mode in addition to standard gold rewards which might mean having to make then undustable but I am ok with that
Wild Adventures would be great. I'd probably spend my gold for naxx. And the content is also worth it as a collection per se.
As for wild packs, they should be heavily discounted. Otherwise it's just better to craft what you need with dust - and getting Standard cards in the meanwhile.
If they discount the packs, they'd have to discount the dust you get back too. Terrible idea.
Wild dust.
You can then convert Standard Dust into Wild Dust at 1:1, but NOT the other way around.
Then again, with no discount there is no point in buying 5 random old cards per pack when you just need a small sub-set of the whole Wild collection.
Better make convertation as 1:2 standart -> wild and 2:1 wild -> standart for both pack gold cost and dust type.
Because as they release more expansions it will become less and less reasonable to ever buy wild packs.
