I think arena is awfully boring for example, i got my cards through constructed and quests. Edit: To clarify, i just dislike the notion that there is a 'supposed' way to play the game  Arena is just another game mode, it isn't specifically there to give players cards. It's just that all rewards in hearthstone and thus the rewards in arena revolve around the cards. | ||

From what I played of hearthstone I just felt like there was too little to do, in terms of deckbuilding and playing. I think arena was alright but again, it gets pretty dull because it feels like the choices are kind of made for you. It's not like drafting in magic where you have very difficult decisions to make and you can create decks with real synergies not just 2 card combos. Maybe after they release like 6 expansions so they're at a point where they have to make more interesting cards I will go back to it. But at the moment it's just so bland. Dual-class mode could also make the deckbuilding (and play) interesting, but the game's obviously not balanced to support that. | ||

Yeah but paying for cards also defeats the only reason to play the game so its kind of pointless in the grand scheme of things. The new class cards they've been releasing all seem kinda meh to be honest so hopefully the next expansion is better. | ||

I can guarantee you that the vast majority of the playerbase does NOT hit the gold cap in constructed. Winning 30 games of constructed daily is definitely not the norm. And the gold cap was implemented to stop abusers, not because they really wanted to nerf constructed gold gain. | ||

In fact if that's even part of the reason to play the game that's kind of sad. | ||

Game is fun to play its just nice to have some actual story / something to strive for in a game and unlike Dota there is no online community in Hearthstone and its far too repetitive given the meta. | ||

It depends on a lot of things, will TI4 result in another huge boom in dota viewership and play-base? If so, how big? If we're at 8 million monthly unique players in the west currently i think we might just hit 11~12 million after TI4 and then it'll drop down and stabilize at around 10 million. Or maybe the increase will be way bigger or way smaller, who knows However what i'm personally more interested in isn't bigger prizepools for the general tournaments although that's also neat. I hope we soon reach a point where organizations can/will pay the players wages good enough to have the players focus full-time on dota. Sure we have a few organizations and teams already at that stage, but it's not the norm. | ||
