Seriously how can anyone be okay with this Blizzard took away the only way Free to Play players can earn enough gold to get cards easily and they removed it for no other reason than greed.
Check the rewards track. You end up making more coins, even if you lose all of your games. You don’t need coins for wins any more, just do your daily and weekly missions and you’ll be fine.
I prefer getting 3500 more gold between expansions without having to win myself, but to each there own.
I found that it’s a lot more enjoyable to play whatever deck I want on ladder as soon as I understood the rewards track. Sometimes I try hard, other times I train archetypes I don’t know, other times I meme, always on ladder. That’s a big change in the way I play and mostly because of the rewards track.
I even wrote a spreadsheet to calculate how much coins I’d get at the current pace. My current calculation points to an increase of 5K gold between expansions compared with the old system in my particular case.
To the Op: The Rewards track gives you way more than the measly 10 Gold per three wins bounty.
Just do the math.
Well, I can imagine that heavy grinders could get more in the old system than in the new. If we agree on the average 400 XP/hour with 28 XP/gold coin, it is approx 14 gold coins/hour. I guess it was possible to get more per hour in the old system.
I’m not doing math regarding quests, too lazy.
The big difference is that there is no cap. You would have a cap of 100g per day. With this system you have a cap per season. Math wise, you had a daily cap at that would net you 12000g max per expansion (assuming 120 days per expansion). With the current setup you have a cap of 20150g per expansion.
