For 80€ per expansion, multiple times per year, the game balance is absolutely horrible.
Nerf to decks are done on the fly without any deeper thought about the meta, so one OP deck is nerfed, second one takes it’s place.
This is not strange though as there is no direct communication between the players and the devs who live in their own bubble.
Also channels to provide feedback are too far and few in between, simply unacceptable for such an expensive game.

I get every expansion for free. You collect gold during one expansion and spend that on card packs for the new expansion. Only whales pay for the cards.

Nah… he’s right.
What you’re describing there is a full time job. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
Its really not a full time job at all. All you have to do is the weekly quests over the space of 7 days, this can generally be done in less than 10 games (usually takes 5 to 6). That gives you more than enough gold. Once you open you cards, you then dust ones you don’t want to make cards you do want. Its not exactly rocket science.

Thank you for the not so useful feedback and for missing the point completely.
Thankyou for the not so useful pointless post. You said the game is too expensive, I said its free for most people. As for the balance, I agree but thats normal in games like this.

Don’t try to play all the classes… then it is free. I started to play in closed Beta, stayed for a few expansions and left for many years… returned 4 years ago, dusted all my old cards and started to create my own decks. Never had to pay a single cent for the cards because of Weekly brawl, reward chests, rewards tracks and event packs… I chosed Paladin to master and for 2 years now not even spending my gold anymore for packs… I have 40 k dust, 25 k gold… don’t need to spend a single cent because I play only 1 class. 10 matches a day is enough to keep it up. Since the last nerfs gathered 80 K dust now… be smart and play good.

Another useless reply, is anyone moderating these forums?

Useless reply for a fake profile… 2 posts… I have nothing more to say to you, ignored and muted… live happily ever after.
How is his reply useless? It provides a very reasonable method by which one could easily keep up with a solid collection of cards over multiple years without spending any money. It’s not useless at all, it’s perfectly valid advice.
Same with BigDaddyRob. They both speak the truth.

Come one, try reading. It’s not a book, just a few sentences. You can do it. Or are you a bot like the other two?
People who disagree with you are not bots. Dismissing their arguments like that shows your own point has no chance of standing up to scrutiny if it can’t be poked at without breaking like a glass floor in Squid Game.
Show how they are wrong instead of just saying it. Otherwise you’re just being angry for no reason and refuse to accept help.

They are just a grifter that wants everything free with no effort. Not worth wasting time arguing with.
That is being reductive and also dismissing of their arguments, Rob. I want him to substantiate his claim, not toss his viewpoint to the side right away because he says something in a way that I don’t find agreeable.
It is true that Microsoft (And Activision before them) has made their system much more expensive than I find sustainable or consumer-friendly - requiring a level of commitment from the player to avoid paying that makes it pretty much a second job is just wrong in my opinion. However, I also acknowledge that it’s not been all bad. Still, that doesn’t make up for a lot of the things they’ve done in the monetization side.
Though when it comes to balance I have nothing to say - it’s been the same way for years and it’s always been the same kind of people talking about it. The game is mostly fine when it comes to the balance. But it’s the nature of TCGs like this, that’s inevitable. Some sort of power creep is going to happen, otherwise you won’t get people buying packs for the new set. And that’s not necessarily an indication of bad design either. It just means that the other card that gets powercrept was just. that. good.

Hearthstone has always been overpriced. He is correct there, but his dismissal of everyone being bots just because they explain how most people play for free suggests that he is not interested in actually playing the game to get the cards. He wants to just be able to get them for no effort or at low cost. That makes him a grifter who wants stuff for free without effort.
Any game that is built on this kind of model is overpriced, not just Hearthstone. The same can be said for non-games. People who cosplay either pay high prices or put the effort in to make the stuff themselves at a lower price.
Lastly, this argument that its a second job to get anything is false. How is playing less than 10 matches a week anything close to a job? Anyone that sees that as a full time job has never worked a full time job. I only play each week until my quests are done and I fit a full time job, hobbies and raising two kids alongside that. I have never had trouble having enough gold ready for a new expansion. The only time this game is anything like a job is if you want to grind to legend every month and that is the same whether you pay or do not pay to play.
Leave him… this is just another angry kid who wants to be angry. We are stupid because try to help everyone who ever is frustrated because of the basic concepts of the game. Did you check out The Bazaar? Now that is a pay2play game… you can’t even play ranked matches for free lol. 
I tried it out but it is just an autobattler with only 1 character for free. It won’t replace Hearthstone for me thats for sure.
I see bots are rampant in this thread. No moderation on these forums just goes to show in how bad the game and the community is in.
