Arena is a Scam

You randomly get cards to determine if you win or lose. It costs money to play and from what I understand is overrun with bots.

Can we remove this mode from Hearthstone too?

Note: I’m mostly just full of hate because I want the cosmetic, but the possibility of me getting it is almost zero.

I went 1-2 day 1 of this new arena rotation with quest mage and stopped. No casuals are left playing arena at this point due to the gold increase for entry so you either vs barcodes who spam emote or insane decks. Doesn’t help the 3rd party thing is online so seeing a bad deck is unlikely now.

It became not worth it as soon as they replaced Standard packs with current xpac packs.

The problem is so called “barcode” decks. Here’s a post on reddit from 2 years ago. Has anything changed?

Ya, barcoders do not run out botted gold, since it’s cheap to buy gold from farmers.

I got pulled into playing mostly Standard for the last month, but there was no shortage of barcoders in The Underground the last time played it.
