For me the new reward system was already good. Now it is tremendously better. COOL!

Im a free to play player and the system doesnt allow me to earn as much gold in-between the sets. If you dont know this then your just whining about the whining and are part of the problem.
Great changes. Someone will allways b*tch and moan. But im loving the new reward system. Even more now.

what do u mean by “event XP bonuses” that will be removed?
the xp from completing quests on expansion?
I am very happy with the commitment with the players. We also want things to improve.
not sure about that because that will hurt casual and control players

good to get rid of the weekly Ranked one that we can’t refresh for something else. since the expansion had come out, almost every deck of mine has become useless and near impossible to even win a game. even using other’s decks, I can’t win against anyone in Ranked Play Mode.
This was part of the plan, if plan A fails they resort to plan b.

A good start. I mean it. Still I feel like there is a big disconnect between giving “good rewards” and giving rewards that “feel good”.
For example that win X ranked games, the problem is not the reward or winning the games, the problem is that this is not incentivizing playing rank, it is forcing to play rank which just feels awful. Reducing the requirement from 7 to 5 does not eliminate the awful feeling, you can increase it to 10 and make it ANY game mode and it will be a lot better received.
In the same line, increasing the xp requirement per level is a very MMO thing to do, I get the reference, but it does not work in a game like this, it should be possible for me to plan how to get to level 50, without a calculator and a list of xp requirements per level and hoping to get good quests along the way. Those waiting periods between rewards at high levels, are a huge problem, again not because the rewards are not good or fair, but because it feels bad, and a game should never feel bad or like a chore.
Still I hope the attitude of constant improvement is true and that you are listening.

they are increasing the gold a bit
and how long it would take to lv after lv50 was one of the most common complains so whats wrong with changing pace to adress this?

I understand why people want it, but I’ve always despised the gold/3win system, it encourages aggro grinders and bots. Honestly I think it should be clearer that you’re gaining exp while just playing the game (maybe show it when the match ends) and make the amount -practically- equivalent to 10g/3wins (like, avg time to play 6 matches at 50% winrate = 1/10 of a 100 gold level, or something like that), I’m pretty sure 400exp/hour is not as good. Just my thoughts.

Blizzards M.O. Break it and fix it back and get praise. I have and people spend $240 a year on this and constantly get the shaft. How much would it really hurt to just BE GENEROUS! Seriously guys your greed is really showing over the years. Its sickening and literally all your games suffer from it.

We’re changing the weekly quest “Win 7 Games of Ranked Play Mode” to “Win 5 Games of Ranked Play Mode.”
Who even asked for this? The complaint is that if I’m primarily an arena player, or duels player, or whatever, I don’t want a quest that I can never complete and can never reroll. Who cares if it’s 5 wins or 7 wins or 2000 wins if I can never complete it?
People who say “just craft a cheap deck to complete that quest each week” just don’t get it. I don’t enjoy playing constructed. Being forced into playing a mode I don’t like every week for rewards is called a job, not entertainment.
Overall this update is very disappointing. It’s calculated to be just enough to quell the complaints (and seems to be working) but won’t fundamentally fix the game’s problems.
I don’t want to earn experience from playing the game, I don’t want to have to click a million buttons, I just want gold that I can turn into additional arena runs or packs or whatever.
Blizzard once again fails to listen to the community and fails to address the real problems.

This is either some 2 steps forward 1 step backward kind of tactic they are pulling or they genuinely have messed up; either way I’m getting something out of it. Also I am expecting some DH nerfs.

Finally some changes. It only took you 10,000 YEARS 
Listening to the players is always a good idea because after all without us there is no game

Blizzard, could you maybe vary the amount of gold we earn to increments other than 50 and 100?
There is no variety to my gold total with the new system. With the ten gold per win system, I’d see steady progress to the next pack or arena run. Now its so chunky. 50, 100, 150… yawn, its either I got a pack or I didn’t.
Honestly it’d be nice to see some gold after every game. Even just 1 gold per game played maybe. That would give some variance to our gold total and stop it from feeling so stagnant.

Цікаво, а нагород за преміумний батлпасс збільшать?
Overall, great changes! I agree with some of the other comments that the ability to re-roll the “win 5/7 games in ranked” would be even better. Sure, it will be worth less XP, but I don’t always want to play ranked!
We knew this would be a new and complex system that required iteration, and we are committed to short-term changes and a long-term vision to make this a fun and rewarding part of Hearthstone.
One big problem you had was that statements like this were not communicated. Instead, we received a silence treatment for weeks.
We have some ideas about tweaking the 1-50 experience to make progression feel even better for players. We will keep working on this system to get it right, and we will share more information as we finalize our future plans.
This, right there, is what we want to hear! I understand you cannot always reveal everything, plans change, some ideas turn out to not be great after trying them out, etc. Even without details provided, reassurances like this would have been great.
So, I might try out Darkmoon Faire after all, I stopped playing just before release because I could not complete quests in Tavern Brawl anymore, which just went completely against how I enjoyed Hearthstone before. Back to the grind…?

Being the reddit poster that got the initial “you’ll earn the same gold or more response” from Blizzard, I can say to you that I am also carefully monitoring the new rewards as a pure F2P player.
These changes sound like they will result in better gold / xp than we got for winning 3 games in the old system (as fast aggro players), but like others I remain skeptical.
What I’m still afraid of is the extra cost of the mini-set. Hopefully the changes will balance out the cost, while making the game feel less grindy.
I also still feel like Duels is monetized twice, because a lot of achievement XP is locked behind it and requires crafting epics in the new expansion just to get the hero power, as well as purchase or crafting of old adventures/expansions to get the best starting 15 cards.

This is not enough, in my opinion that’s what 1st version of BP initially. But Blizzard make the most terrible version of BP to do some changes later and look like a good guys. I love this game, but it`s hurts to see.
