You named it - it's their way to siphon gold out of the players, so they buy new exp content with real money.
Personally, I dont even know why are cardbacks so important. I dont even see my cardback in game, only half of it and full of opponents. So, I am basically choosing cardback for my opponent to see it...I am deff not wasting gold on it, but I understand if someone wants it for collection
Disappointed they took the Eye of C'thun cardback off already, I was saving Gold for it. :(
I'm honestly finding it interesting they're charging so much per back, especially when a vast majority of players are saving up gold for the next expansion that's supposed to hit pretty soon... I mean 500G is roughly a epic card, and the epic card at least affects gameplay somehow.
So I guess I can’t really use card backs to gauge how long someone has been playing hs when I play against them. It’s not a game breaking change, I just thought it was cool to see things like “oh he has the Zuldrak card back! That means he’s been playing since May of 2016!” but now I guess cardbacks are no longer exclusive. I liked it at first with Ragnaros from the fire festival, as you actually had to earn it by completing a specific challenge, but simply paying gold is... boring. But, it must sell well or else Blizz wouldn’t be doing all of these card back sales
Yeah this is called marketing my friend. I mean, if people spend their gold to complete their card back collection and they also need to get their card collection updated as soon as the expansion releases they need to spend money on it.
