Player since beta. I was very hopeful hearing about the new improved reward system. The new system gives less gold for more time invested. At the end of the season we will be left with less gold than usual. Where is the improvement? If there does not come a significant fix, this will be the last time I spend money on the game.
Make the new system an improvement for the players, not only for Blizzard shareholders. People will quickly notice that it becomes a grind to level and that the time invested becomes disproportional to the rewards.
I am already looking for other games to switch to if this is does not get fixed soon. Runeterra seems like a good option.

This is actually a really good idea.
Not nearly good enough Blizzard. You stated that you have failed to communicate and, unfortunately, in your response, you continue to fail. You are essentially losing f2p players and turning paying players into non-paying players. I am a paying player, but not anymore. If the rewards track is significantly improved for all players, I’ll reconsider. Until then, I will not spend a single cent. I know so many in the HS community that will be doing the same, and I hope others join in as well.

well i know i am one of those players who will not give another dime even if they fix it. they straight out lied which is down right unacceptable and on top of that they should pay me to play this game for their lies.

Just increase the xp gain / h unconditionally.
No player needs to play at certain events at certain time that way and it’s a much more transparent system.

This is how you can make whales hate your company. I returned after 2 years and dropped around 700$ in the last 3 months, but never again. I can’t even describe how angry this reply made me, as someone who actually care. The game is bleeding players , has a 6 year old horrible reward system, broken dust economy, new players has 0 chance to have fun. And yesterday after 150 pack (120$ known as 2 full AAA game price) i just closed the game, with 0 playable legendary and full of regrets. You just broke the camel’s back with this reply for many customers. Ps.: Please also after fixed the reward system drop in 4500 gold or 45 pack to compensate the mini set. That increased the game price again, with exactly that much.

Come clean and admit the system was designed to coerce F2P into paying.

I think they do not care at all for the f2p player. They treat the f2p player as a freeloader that they want to kick out. They mostly want to entice people that already pay to pay more. But what they don’t understand is that this way they are kicking out the reasonably buying customer that buys just the bundle each expansion. Because pre-ordering the packs is not enough to get cards and now you can not get the gold to complete the collection by playing the game. So in fact they make it a game just for whales that pay 500 dollars a month. It’s ridiculous, it’s insulting and taking into account that all this happens amidst a pandemic, it is outright EVIL.

So today I came in and started playing a changed the quest which I could not play to a different one and it was the duels again so being forced to play duel when I would normally not play this at all as I like playing my own decks. But if I do that I get SHI* for XP. Can we please go back to a quest for gold and 3 wins for 10 gold please!

The fun part is to experiment with your own ideas, and thats need legendarys, a lot!
The game is boring, You can only play like 1-2 deck/expension. Im saying this after spend like 2500$ total.
The crafting/disenchant ratio is not acceptable!
Playing since like 5 years, and now, Im ready to leave as the last one of my friends.
You have to change the legendarys current 1:4 ratio to something like 3:4 at worst.

I’m looking at MTG at the moment. Installing it now and going to give it a run. I am starting my 3rd battle in MTG and it’s not bad as they have a tutorial guide you through it and you gain more cards per each victory. Over 2 gb download.

I think the communication is still blurry because at the moment the company is analyzing sales.
If enough people increase their budget and profitability increases, they will offer a few peanuts and already start planning the next strategy to further increase profits.
If enough people stop paying and profitability drops, they will understand that short-term profitability is a bad strategy.
It is the behavior of the gaming community that will guide the behavior of the company. The only language they understand is money. There is no point in speaking in another language.

how is this not a lawsuit when we have proof they lied unless they do what they said i dont see how it could go in their favor.
Very simple solution:
Weekly Quest for your XP stuff.
The daily quest for direct gold.
Then players get rewared for playing it daily.
And they have the experience in long term I can earn more Gold.
Also, do the math the game has what? 3000 cards?
But the number of rewards are still the same since ever.
How should a guy at least reach the numbers of the cards he wants to have??
Never with free2play but he would maybe use the money for it cuz he comes easier closer to that point.
I dunno who of you make the business decision But I can make better one for sure.

If they want to encourage F2P to spend occasionally they need to make the game better, not worse.
Seems to me they want to force players to pay more, not entice, as the rewards they give are stingy and infrequent.

So i went from 60 gold quest per day, 420 gold per week plus the 10 gold per 3 wins that is around 500 gold per week, 2000 gold per month, 8000 gold per expansion give or take few hundreds.
All of this was by playing 20-25 minutes not every day since i did all my quest at once in Tavern, also Tavern was fun for gold farming with 3 wins 10 gold.
How is this more rewarding since i have to spend alot more time for less gold? i spent 6 hours to do the 7 wins in Ranked Quest and i got a level up that gave me a pack of cards not even gold.
Is the same reward as before if Hearthstone is your second job playing 8 hours a day, i don’t even feel like winning since there is no gold reward after 3 wins, everybody is roping now, who cares we all get XP, casual players keep your game alive if we leave your game is dead, we donate from time to time.

Corrupt was the perfect keyword for this expansion it seems.

Blizzard is just dipping their toe to see what they can get away with. And they will do just enough damage control to shut people up and no more. I didn’t think I could hate a game company as much as I do Electronic Arts but Blizzard is inching that way for me. Remember what EA did with Battlefront 2? Shady as *^&%^!
