Appreciation for Hearthstone

This post is intended for the hearthstone team from blizzard entertainment but whether any of them will read this is another matter.

  1. There was a point in time that duplication protection does not exist. Then it begin with legendary rarity and eventually extend to all the lower rarities.

  2. The tavern brawl pack used to be “the previous year (animal xxx)” pack. Now it is standard pack.

  3. There was a point in time that the reward track does not exist. Now with the reward track not only we get the gold but all the other stuffs as well (expansion packs, standard packs, rare golden cards that can be rerolled, tavern tickets, random epics and random legendaries).

  4. There was a point in time that new / returning player loaner decks does not exist. Not only that but a new player has to clear 40 to 50 ranks to get out of apprentice rank.

  5. There was a point in time that special event reward track does not exist.

There was a time when Chillwind Yeti was considered a good card.

there was a time where Aggro tried to end the game by turns 7-8.

A time where draw 2 cards for 3 mana was one of the best cards in the game.

A time where a 1 mana 2/2 would have been gamebreaking.

A time where the game was fun.

If the game is no longer fun then why are you still playing it?

Genuinely curious.

Is it addiction?

BGs is fun, and I have sunk cost fallacy.

It’s also something stupid and fiddly to do on the phone without ads

I appreciate when the game was using the old quest system, the old ranked system, the old arena system, hero portraits were special, card backs were special, the game was played in a far more skill intensive way where you had to actually think rather than not think and just pray the game decides for you to win because that’s what the game has devolved into, I appreciate there was a time where we had Classic Hearthstone which of course had to be killed because god forbid people actually enjoyed the game at its core and not what it turned into, I appreciate Ben Brode, and TrumpSC, and Kripparian, back when the game was good and people cared and and played it, wait…am I doing this right?

If someone openly states that they believe in logical fallacies, in a way that indicates that they know that it is a fallacy, is it okay or ethical to badger them about it until they stop acting in accordance with said fallacy?

Asking for a friend.
