Disenchanting for 25% value is a scam

Multiplayer Discussion

You should be able to disenchant for 50-75% of the value at least. Hearthstone is expensive enough as it is.

For instance, i have been saving up for about 2 months for a zilliax which costs 1600 and i still can’t afford it. And thats only 1 of the cards i want for my deck.

75 is ridiculous. 50 I could see.

somehow, someone will still post that it’s not a scam and disenchanting 4 legendaries to craft one is ok (or worse, 8 golden commons to craft one golden common)

40 or 50% would be very nice but probably wont ever happen unless games dying or they have massive drop in people buying packs. Im the type that would spend $40 for packs just to craft a single legendary I need to complete some deck I want to play but I know I’m getting ripped off and not worth.

Nah, I think most people would agree on this. Disenchanting 4 of a given card (5 in the case of rares and 8 in the case of commons as you mentioned), all to get one of another card of the same value, is kind of insane.

Blizzard is here to make money. However, if you play this game a little each day, you should have no problem making 1 or 2 good decks.

Because it isn’t a scam. They’re very clear what the dust ratios are. You can dislike those ratios, but that does not make it a scam.

Predicting that someone will provide correct information shouldn’t be revelatory.

Just because you tell someone upfront that you are overcharging doesn’t make it right. I would still call it a scam if a jeweler overcharged, or a car salesman, or a contractor, or a loan given at poor rates.

Indeed. Neither is predicting that someone will nitpick on semantics.

Interesting how you picked only professions which are stereotypically deceptive and underhanded to make your point.

Why does it apply to card games?

Why wouldn’t it apply to card games? My point is simply that being upfront about price doesn’t mean that price isn’t predatory.

Collectible card games create an artificial rarity in order to encourage players to spend more money in order to acquire cards that have a higher in-game strength.

How am I am being over charged. I have not spent any money on this game, and have 5 good decks. Maybe the problem is you are not smart enough to get a good deck.

I spent 400$ since Un’Goro and I’m strapped for dust every expansion. I’m 6000 dust off Highlander Hunter and I opened up 110 packs this expansion. This is unacceptable and even less so to defend these business practices.

It’s almost like free games are still very successful without being scummy and predatory :thinking:

Ok, I finished top 100 NA July. I have basically every card in the game. I enjoy the game and have plenty of money to spend on cards; I still think the basic pricing policy is designed to exploit.

the real scam is when they nerf a DECK into the ground and give you only 1 card of that deck full refund like they did with reno mage last week.

Reno mage was a 20k dust deck and they only willing to give me 1/20th the dust for it after they ruined it.

You’re still arguing this point? My god…

It’s almost like those 29 other cards you crafted have uses outside of that deck.

Highlander Mage is definitely still usable, Cheatch is just a bit salty still over losing a tier-1ish deck that is now bordelrine tier3/4.

Some people… if they aren’t playing tier 1 they freak out I swear >.>
