Players Will Have A Chance To Obtain A New Esports Card Back - Golden Skies
Blizzard has announced that they'll be adding a new card back into the game that players will get a chance to obtain by competing in Masters Tours as well as finishing top 32 in Chinese Gold Series Tournaments.
Quote from Hearthstone EsportsThis card back will be for anyone that competes in a Masters Tour beginning with Ironforge, as well as top 32 players in Chinese Gold Series Tournaments. Similar to Golden Celebration but for Masters Tour instead of HCT.
For 2021 and future Masters Tours, competitors will receive the new esports-exclusive Golden Skies card back! All Ironforge & Orgrimmar competitors will receive this card back within 30 days of the 20.2 patch going live.

It would be nice if they included those who played in qualifier rounds as well. It does take some effort to play in those and would also help garner interest in the different tours.
Hmm, how can any "normal" person get this one?
XD
If they sell this card back for gold or real money, then that's their choice. Your choice is to play or not play the game. So what if they sell this card back at a later date. Does it affect your game as of today? Are you magically going to win more because of it? Are you going to get game with newbs for easy wins because you have this card back? Come on dude.
Do not be delusional: there are exclusivities that will NEVER be violated, certain card backs or heroes will NEVER be sold for gold...
Obviously, I know that something cosmetic like a hero or a card back has no real influence on the game itself, but the fact that some exclusivities are destroyed while others are not is a serious blow to the game's customers: it shows that there are first class clients and exclusivities and second class clients and exclusivities.
But hey, you are the typical conformist... that the big multinational (sorry, I meant small indie company) do whatever it wants, we only have permission to see, hear and pay... Not a complaint or a single reproach is allowed, at the end of the day, they are perfect, they are never wrong and we have to be very grateful because they allow us to serve them homage and kiss their feet as they do everything for our good.
They piss in your face and you don't mind and smile because you think it's raining.
Really tired of the elitism people think they have for doing almost nothing. Your prize was you could use that card back a lot longer than someone who bought it. Plus it was free to you where as someone else has to pay for it.
No one cares what card back you have or what hero portrait you use. Stop acting like a freak. No one thinks when you start a match "ohh he has the first month card back he must be special", NO ONE. It's all in your head.
Okay then, let's remove any kind of exclusivity after a while!!
When will I be able to buy the card back of my avatar with gold? Or the card back this news is about?
Do you seriously see feasible, reasonable and logical to sell the Esports Card Back for Masters Tour Event for a few hundred gold? Not at all, right?
I reiterate again: there are first class clients and exclusivities and second class clients and exclusivities
......
It looks like shit lol. The OG is so good, it can't even be compared to this garbage
Well, not only there are card backs that only the elite of the elite can get... there are even card backs (that of my avatar) that are only available to people who are from a single specific country out of the hundreds that exist in the world (you can already imagine what country it is).
But nonetheless those exclusivities are not for everyone:
For instance, I have all the monthly card backs that show my loyalty to the game from day one... however Blizzard spits in my face by selling those card backs for a symbolic amount of gold to everyone regardless of their seniority in the game. Exclusivity of seniority gone.
Or for example, Blizzard also spits in the faces of those who spent real money on a pre-purchase to receive an exclusive card back or hero, and now they see how those card backs and heroes are also sold to everyone for a symbolic amount of gold. Exclusivity for pre-purchasing gone.
When will I be able to buy the card back of my avatar with gold? Or the card back this news is about? Something tells me that never ever. There are sacred exclusivities and others that are not so much...
It is clear that there are first class clients and exclusivities and second class clients and exclusivities.
Would be nice if another way to get this would be to beat someone who had the cardback when playing them in Standard Ranked play. Then it wouldn't exclusively for people that participated in particular tournaments.
Especially considering that the Mark of Hakkar cardback shows that they already have the code to accomplish this kind of thing.
I would actually like that for every cardback that's not longer available. And maybe add something to it like little "blood particles" on the cardback to show that you earned it from fighting:D (and not during that season/promontional event, so that the actual cardback is still "exclusive"); will probably never happen though..
BUT IM SURE NEVER THE LEGEND CARD BACK BECAUSE ITS THE BAIT TO GET TONS OF MONEY!
cool that's awesome waste of time to even print this who of those users of the 60 million accounts actually meet those requirements? 32 competitors or 64 waste of space announcement sadge good work though keep it up but it just feels sad when ANNOUNCED things common folk can't get :( better NOT KNOWING than actually..... knowing
Chinese
Useless information.. Not possible to get it
There is such an inflation of cosmetics lately, do you guys really still care about having/not having card back X or hero portrait Y?
Otherwise they wouldn't make all these cosmetics, trust me.
It's a collectible card game. So of course there are quite a lot of people who care about the "collecting aspect" of the game. And Blizzard knows that, or why do you think there so many "time limited buy to have" Skins/Cardbacks?
