So I pay for some - I've spend £23 in my first week of Hearthstone and will stop spending real money once the £60 I put on the account runs out - hopefully by then I'll be infinite or near enough.<br /><br />But otherwise your analysis is spot on, if you just want to play Constructed it would be a much better play experience to not spend anything and savour each new pack as it slowly opens options and improves your win rating. And if you have aspirations of being a professional tournament player you'll probably need to spend hundreds or even thousands to get a really strong collection.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-86797140175187982592013-12-04T00:57:10.123+00:002013-12-04T00:57:10.123+00:00The problem I see with Hearthstone's business ...The problem I see with Hearthstone's business model is that it just doesn't seem very worthwhile to spend a small amount of money. I feel like it pushes you to either play completely F2P or to spend a fair amount of cash.<br /><br />In a CCG with no trading and no possibility of "cashing out" a collection, I don't want to treat cards as possessions or an investment or anything like that. I'll treat the game as a normal F2P game, and personally, if I play a F2P game regularly and am enjoying it, I like to spend a similar amount on it to what I'd pay for a subscription game, i.e. $10-$15 a month.<br /><br />If I did that with Hearthstone.. well, I could get 7 packs for $10. But that's less than what you'd get in a month just for doing dailies. I'll probably still do it, but it doesn't feel particularly rewarding. You could easily open 7 packs and not get a single card that you really truly wanted, nor enough dust to make more than a few cool cards.<br /><br />If you want to build up a serious collection, you need to be prepared to drop a lot of money. But if you spend nothing at all, you can still easily get $20 a month worth of cards from doing dailies.<br /><br />So why spend a small amount?Carson 63000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10900682924502279486noreply@blogger.com
