The heart nerf is definitely dumb and not needed. I never have any extra hearts because I always have to put in all 3 cause no one else ever puts in their share. Punishing solo players again, yay blizzard
That is not true at all. How do I know? Because I have that many myself and I’ve done the rep grind a lot. Ever do those spires where the mobs come in waves? Lots of shards from that. Lots of shards that open chests where the hearts come from. There is also when you are the one who can basically kills the maiden super fast that people want to take advantage of that and just feeeed the hearts. To the point where I just have to leave to open chests or waste close to a couple thousand shards. When there is only a few of us, we all usually contribute a heart but as that keeps going, it’s constantly sending out a signal to others and then a crowd gets rolling and a lot of times people just shove them in before you even have time to react.
I have close to 300 hearts and by no means was I even trying to amass that many.

Maybe you can’t read? I said I normally pop all the seals. I don’t leech.
Also I play in hardcore mode so I assure you I don’t play like a POS. But you keep on rocking “normally” thinking you know everything 
I play eternal, already level capped coming into this content, and I am currently playing around an hour to two a day on weekdays, and anywhere from one to four on weekdays. Played a bit more at beginning of patch - did Helltides for a few days get a lot of new gear before I started tempering, and have only done maybe four or five since? I am sitting on 86 hearts and have summoned quite a few times myself.
Everyone will be fine without iron wolves or hearts from leveling.
What I see are a lot of players spending 3 hearts to spawn the boss with no consideration for anyone else around who may want the extra items. I leave the area when this happens cause it’s tilting to say the least , especially if it’s a low level like a 50 or 60 expecting me to help them get BIS items. 
And this is the crux of it. I don’t understand why people would even want that. Efficient, yes, but no one can convince me it’s more fun standing in one place doing the same fight every 120 seconds.
The issue is the drop rate on hearts were fine, literally haven’t heard one complaint about there being to many… After the fix to glitched helltides the maiden is the only semi fun part, it’s crazy that more fun is a bad thing here. What was the reason for the nerf in the first place?
The reason they gave was they didn’t feel meaningful or valuable or something like that.
One one hand I can see where they are coming from. From what I’ve seen on the PTR it doesn’t seem to be a massive nerf. If anything it’ll make people more likely to share the altars so more people can get the loot.
But I also see your point. Don’t fix what’s not broken.

this simply shows they dont play the game AT ALL.
if it was overflowing like they claimed, then people wouldnt cheap out on them ALL THE TIME…
People are lazy and will often do the least amount of work to get something. You can’t really use this as evidence they aren’t overflowing or that the devs don’t play the game. I and many others have hundreds despite doing the maiden 10+ times in each zone per helltides.
yeah no, if you spam it yourself for an hour, you wont make the heart back not even close.
you can easily burn 40 50 hearts in 1 helltide and you might get like 3-5 back, thats it.
no one spamming heart would have increasing hearts, thats a cap

Howard: they don’t want you spamming Maidens. That’s the point of the nerf. That’s not the expected way for you to engage with the content.
I have to agree here , like why ? its not like a huge game changer ya know so, and you’re right its not like we are flooded with hearts… Just blizzard not really thinking about the little things that urk the player somewhat i guess…
