The fact that no new board was implemented with Perils of Paradise is disappointing. It may seem like a small part of a new expansion, but it is important for the players. The feeling that the developers don’t understand this and are unwilling to make the effort to create such a new board, that they don’t even want one themselves, speaks volumes about how much they care about this game. It’s a small step but a big sign, one that is starting to drive some players away from Hearthstone – not because the game itself is changing, but because of the perceived lack of commitment behind it.

I’m waiting to see what they are announcing this week to justify not creating one.

There is no justification unless it’s something bigger like stopping further development of the game. If they can implement new skins every few weeks, they can implement a new board three times a year.

Given there is only one day left this week I’m starting to doubt we will get an announcement.
No announcement is an announcement.
and now no new board for the next expansion also…

We could have had a holiday board, a small pool next to a few palm trees, a whacky sandcastle on the beach, a minibar with fruit drinks, and an accessory shop with some travel maps, sunscreen, or sunglasses, all paired with a pleasant holiday music theme. But be not afraid, we’ll have Fun, Focus, and above all, Fearlessness.

I’m a player. I don’t care about boards. Its a card game, not a board game.
The 30.4 patch notes say: „All Hearthstone game boards will now be able to appear in Hearthstone matches, including boards from sets that have rotated to Wild. The newest game board will still appear more frequently, but all other game boards will have an equal appearance rate. Hop into a game and check out some old favorites!“
Does this mean we will have new boards with upcoming expansions or that the “Whizbang’s Workshop” expansion board will be the most frequent one forever?

They are still planning to release one new board per year

They already explained why we didn’t have a new board last expansion
They are planning to make yearly boards with more interactive features + implement a pet system into the game
Also including an option to favorite boards
(just realized that they teased the Ragnaros mythic skin in that article)
I think many people are fine with all the explanations, but next time it would be nice to announce in advance their plans to break such a tradition.

And then there’s me who I barely noticed boards even exist in the game. Though I prefer some good music. The badlands main theme was great in-board.

You don’t have to notice it to be mindful of the implications.
They stopped producing free boards with the intention of monetizing them instead, without being upfront about it. Instead, they claimed the reason they couldn’t release new boards was because they were working on a Pet System.
If that isn’t the most ridiculous excuse, I don’t know what is.
This just proves they’ve stopped trying to accommodate players and are now actively pursuing ways to squeeze every last dime from their loyal audience.
Being indifferent about this isn’t good.
This behavior will eventually extend to other areas.

There’s some thinning in the art department in general. People were laughing at the Skyla art etc. I wondered if the OG artists of Warcraft are generally gone from all warcraft games.

Source ? So far that’s an assumption, not a fact.
I too find it ridiculous to use as an excuse the non-ubiquity of people .
If they can do task A in a givne period of time, and task B is less than task A, then they can do task B in the same alocated time than task A, so they can do both tasks at the same time since they have enough time to do both tasks.
Really they have no excuse.
Or, they are accomodating to the surveys they could be running where a majority of players answer that they want more paid cosmetics if it leads to more free accessibility to cards 
I think they should follow your ideas and also stop printing new cards, since new cards mean more things to buy.
