Thanks for all the fish and goodbye.
Finally the expensiveness of this game has pushed me over to uninstall the game.
Today I sat down to play some ranked and looked through the decks on HSreplay.
Of the 6 decks I wanted to play, none could I build because of the lack of cards.
And no way in hell I am paying 500$ a year to play this game.
Thanks blizzard.
That’s what pushed me into playing wild only. Sadly a rush murlock deck got me to rank 3
I am no way a blizzard fanboy now, even tho ive played blizzard games since Diablo 1(44 gen x er) but I will counter your post with this. I have 5 accounts each with 3 regions to play. I have not spent a dime on this game. Each season since whatever the blackrock dragon expansion was, I have gotten to no less than rank 15 on each of those accounts nd regions with my highest rank being rank 3.
How? All I did was pick a class on each of those account/regions, log in do dailies, buy packs and dust w/e isnt thats classes card and all gold cards. Pretty soon I had ever class card and all the neutrals that I needed, and did like everyone else, went to hsreplay, copied w/e deck is top for that class and just played it.
So ya you dont need to pay anything. The only reason why I haven’t hit legendary, is after rank 4 its some serious grinding and dudes play real good. Oh ya also these rank 15 and ups I do Is in wild only. I just had a son 9 months ago and a disabled Marine so I stay home and raise our son 3 dogs including a new 8 week old bloodhound, a 2 year old 100 pound lab,and i still easily hit rank 15 wild across all accounts and regions without really trying. The rng in this game is bs but the net decks pilot themselves you just have to grind.
This game is awesome for daddy mode because i can log on bust out dailies log off and if hes napping or w/e i can do some climbing the rank 15 to 5 and get more free dust and packs. The community in this game makes me ill and go full on joker mode, but this game is easy to play for free.
I take it you are a new player. I mean, you have to be a new player. You can’t be an old player or you would have known what the deal was with this game years ago. So you have to be a new player.
Yup Blizz hates new players and they lie and cheat to get new players…
Once again, didn’t you quit yesterday?
Grow up kid just because someone quits the game doesn’t mean they stop reading or posting in the forums. You are about as dense as they come.
To be fair, this game is not expensive for f2p players. I took only about 5 years of grinding to have a collection as vast as that of paying players in wild and in standard. So yeah, new players all you need is time.
If you can’t devote 5 years to learn and collect cards of a card game as a f2p player, go find something else to play instead. Or just pay.
@Blue Lantern
I know you are being sarcastic but where do they draw the line? It is NOT fair for people who have played for 5 years to get screwed over so new players can have just as big a collection as they do.
Perhaps they should finally just make the basic card set free so every player has access to all basic cards but any expansion MUST be gotten the way they are now.
Break up basic and standard so they still have to get classic cards to get some cards.
GreenKricket I wasn’t being sarcastic. I did indeed play for around 5 years to get to this level of card collection.
With more expansions falling into wild every year and more new expansions released every year, it just gets more time consuming for new f2p players. So they should pay!
Or try other new games instead. I’m sure the fanboys would agree with this.
Actually they could just add a legendary in the basic set that gives you a random deck from the rank you are(its not like they dont have the data) and voila , new f2p can play on a fair level with a slight setback while working on a collection.
Oh and a real fanboy would never tell others to go play something else , they actually try to understand others and can agree when the company they fanboy is in the wrong … well thats how it should be in a perfect world /facepalm
Everyone here is right. FTP is possible. But takes years to build up collection. However, it IS also too expensive. In most games, $80 buys the whole game. But here you won’t even get half the legendaries in one set alone.
For what it’s worth, it’s cheaper than most online card games. By definition, card games (and now online card games) generate a lot of money - it’s why Blizzard made one.
Not a fan boy, and gave up on constructed long long time ago. But back when I was playing Magic/PoxNora you assumed it would cost $100+ every expansion to stay competitive. It’s why companies make trading card games, keep them updated, keep them advertised. It’s the entire point to enter the market.
So with that being said, if this genre isn’t for you, there are plenty of other strategy games out there.
Indeed , but the consumers demand(for MTG) is there for them to keep doing so , and in those consumers there’s some that are just as greedy as the companies themselves by trying to hoard & flip cards/boxes/sets 
At least in HS this isn’t possible!!
Back to topic though i think new players and f2p need to take a good look at the CCG genre before playing HS. They’ve always been expensive no matter how you look at it, digital or physical.
Lets make it simple by comparing HS to WoW … Which for context , we will say wow cost money while HS is free to start.
-HS cards are like gear/skill points, they are the goal of the game alongside
winning/defeating opponents by using those .
-Now in wow , a casual , a new player and a hardcore player wont have the same
stuff , just like in HS . It wont be a fair fight all the time but there’s side content to
do to keep progressing while slower than the main part of the game.
-Just like in wow , has the game gets updated and new expansions come out ,
some progress and what you acquired becomes useless , in HS those are called
rotations and nerfs 
And i could go on and on and on , i could even do the same comparison with quite a lot of games of many genres. While yes people can pay for packs in HS , there is no way of telling if they did(outside the obvious pre-order heroes lol).
OP- in comparison to wow still , its like you just bought wow and looked up a cookie cutter build and noticed you needed to get max level and grind X amount of raids to get the result shown on the site …Then proceeded to the wow forums to post an iquit thread! You wanted something in game and you were NOT willing to put forth the effort.
Ugh wall of text , guess that whats insomnia does 
The REAL fact here is not being able to trade cards. In any physical game you can trade cards in digital you can’t which makes them above and beyond greedy.
Also, in physical card games you can limit the wild expansions used.
Here in hearthstone, let’s say you are a new player and have 3 expansions going into wild and you really love them. So, to continue playing them you have to now fight with cards of, what, 4 years worth of expansion? There is no way you’d enjoy that, unless you also now start to craft the other 4 years worth of expansion that you’d never played before. How expensive
It is no different in physical if you want those older cards you have to buy them usually at inflated prices because they are no longer printed. I remember Magic the gathering and a specific card today is over $800. So don’t preach to me on that crap.
Wait, isn’t there is a limit of 3 accounts or something?
So your point is basically all card games are expensive, meaning hearthstone is no different in terms of cost?
I’m lost really, coz earlier u seem to be saying hearthstone is even worst off than other card games in terms of cost. Now you’re saying all card games are expensive. Excuse me if I’m lost.
No (those cards while powerful didnt = 100% win rate)
This game you can’t trade for cards you are FORCED to buy packs (can’t even buy individual cards like you can in a physical game).
Blizzard is greed period at least in a physical copy I OWN the cards in this game you own NOTHING.
