Why we can’t do this is beyond me. Just why?

because casual is not a trash farm (citation that nobody will get) used by people as a sandbox.
When achievements will be unlockable in casual, it will become an useless mode, where most people don’t even try to win.
Do them at the start of the month, when you are in low ranks, or when you are at a rank floor: if it’s hard because other players want to win, that’s how achievements are supposed to work.
If they would make them completable in casual, then it would be better to make them completable also against the innkeeper

If they become achievable by the innkeeper, they should just be achieved by logging in.

The problem is that right now it affects Ranked by people throwing games to complete achievements.
we have rank floors for achievements
and 2 modes(as far as i know you can complete them in wild too)

So? Accept your win? What’s the point of ranked other than to prove you made it to the top? Who cares if they threw? I’d be like, “Oh. That’s cool, my quest to win 5 ranked matches just got closer to completing.”

But there are two ranked modes, so completing it in the other mode won’t affect you, except a slower rate of completion.
In my case, I play wild, so I do my achievements in standard. If you play standard, doing achievements in wild is even better since you have more options.
Makes so much sense… get crushed by turn 5 in wild or get crushed by turn 5 in standard. I wanna play some janky sh!t with at least a chance to win. I’m only trying to enjoy the game, which is super freakin hard these days

I know what you mean.
The current MMR system I find makes it hard to play fun decks and still win I personally feel. Thats because you could be happily in gold, and get matched up against people already in legend. In the old days, you would only be playing against other people close to you in rank.
The moment you win and your MMR goes up, you will eventually get matched against meta decks no matter what rank you are.
I hear it’s the same in casual, but I havent played a single game in casual so far, so I cant be certain.

Only 1000 win portraits in casual every few times a year I try it out
so you 2 so you want to play off meta decks ,win often and dont be matched agaisnt meta decks at the same time.
but it improved and now people have to play agaisnt people as good as they are i love it ( i even seen people complain they cant stay at low ranks to farm easier targets anymore!)
Casual is more useless now than it would be in your scenario
The same goes for ranked, if you only allow it for ranked, people will trash farm here and lose on purpose to get the achievement. Also, can you finish standard quests in casual? Since the last time, I played it, people, in fact, didn’t even try to win. The mage was damaging himself.

it isn’t: many people play casual for fun.
With your idea, casual would become “I don’t want to do an achievement, but I want it anyway”.
Really, for 200XP per achievement, isn’t just better to play the game normally?
What will you do with these extra XP anyway? Buying more cards to do more achievements?
I don’t do achievements, I don’t grind quests (sometimes I don’t even finish the weekly ones), I don’t XP AFK farm and I bet I am playing more cards/decks than all these “achievement hunters”.
If your main accomplishment from this game is doing achievements, it would be bad to make them too easy, so it’s a good thing they are completable only on ladder.
If you do achievements only for the extra XP, your wasting time for something negligible
That isn’t a bad thing.
If I play ladder, I want to win to climb.
If my opponent plays a bad deck on purpose, it’s an ez win for me and I’ll climb quicker.
People who wants to climb won’t use trash achievements deck, so they will almost never face other bad deck, expecially at D3+, that are the ranks that matter the most.
You can, but most of the quests are “play X games as class Y”, so they won’t flood the casual all day to do these type of quests.
Other quests come natural even on ladder.
I don’t know why everyone is trying to say that in casual there are either meta decks or AFK players: I actually play the mode and I usually see normal people with normal decks that aren’t meta.
You probably play in casual only to do quests, so your MMR is so low that you get matched against others players that play like you, only for quests.
I’m doing achievements because it’s a “fun” way to play the game. Ranked isnt fun, it’s bullsh!t. You’re wrong

Casual should be the fun mode where you can do whacky things like achievements without losing ranks

I completely support this. Even allow them to be completed while playing vs a chosen friend. There is no reward for achievements. So people do it just to reach goals. But in ranked, some are impossible. I remember trying some achievement, 5-6 times in a row when I had the setup and killed 5 creatures with some spell (goal was 6 or 7 kills) opponents conceded… Let people enjoy the game. If they want to do it solo, let them.
Also allow communicating in casual. So I can say:
“Hi! I’m trying to complete achievement XY”
“Okay, I will help you! Im doing Z achievement meanwhile…”

and this, ladies and gentelmen, is why achievement SHOULDN’T be completable in casual.
Then we have a different definition of “ranked” and “competitive”, ranked is the opposite of fun, so no achievements decks. You want to play ranked for the “challenge”, on every level, not for “easy climb”. So you are basically saying, that you don’t care, because you are above diam 3 and lower “insignificant” ranks can have this achievement cesspool?
Most the people anyway play ranked over casual, is because how the unjust exp rewards are granted. The achievements in casual will increase the number of these players.
Basically, you want to make ranked less competitive than casual.
At some point, you will reach a rank high enough where people will stop playing bad decks on purpose, because they want to climb like you.
Of course in the lower ranks there will be more bad decks and achievement decks: it’s the structure of the ladder after all; the more you climb the harder it gets (due to MMR, if you are high enough it is hard already from the beginning)
we casual players don’t need more fake players to play against with.
I’m okay with facing other people like me that tries different decks that may work or not, instead of someone who just plays to do achievements
very very wrong.
Ranked is competitive; if people play it with bad decks on purpose, the mode is still very competitive, because these type of players will stay at low ranks or at floor ranks, so they won’t have an impact in the ladder system
