Hearthstone Player Wants All-Golden Decks, Buys $3200 Worth Of Packs
World of Warcraft subscriptions might be down, but Hearthstone, and Hearthstone profits, are up, and we might have found the guy responsible.
Redditor MattCauthron wants all the golden cards in the game, or at least the competitive ones he can build a all his decks around, and to do that, he's dropping some serious cash. According to his post, he "bought 2100 packs while drunk" last night, racking up a price tag of $3,200 in the process. If you were wondering who those one-percenters are who spend like crazy in F2P games, you've found one.
For the moment, Matt's got five golden legendaries for his efforts, though it's tough to tell exactly how many packs he opened to get that far, since "I realized at my current rate it would be 5am before I finished opening them all and I did have work in the morning." We hope it's a well-paying job.

And this is coming from someone who has never spent any money on the game, yet I still have all the golden cards, including those from adventure mode (which don't drop in any pack btw). I'm not trying to blow my own horn or anything, I was a noob too when I started playing Hearthstone but instead of calling the game P2W when I sucked and made mistakes, I learned from it and got better. Now getting legend every season not to mention tons of gold from arena when I feel like playing it. And no, golden cards and portraits don't help you win more.
There's a lot of information about Hearthstone and how to become a better player on the internet. One of the best guides that I used and learned a lot from is Hearthstone Mastery. You can find it here: http://bit.ly/1H7nR8C
And holy hell damn near 3 million lost subs...wonder if this is factoring in the WoW token
Scamstone is a pathetic garbage rigged pay to win scam game. it is pathetic how most fantards of this game do not even know that Activision owns blizzard and this game.
