Isn't Hearthstone Pay2win ?

[seledeur]

Hi,
I opened over 30 packs and still no legendary card , how often do you get them ? Do you buy packs ?

[sol!dus]

It is around 1 legendary every 20 packs.
But of course you can also don't get any legendaries in 40 packs or 2 in 20 packs. Nothing's guaranteed here.

i dont think its pay2win because you can get everything without paying money

[zauzer]

i've buy more than 50 packs and 0 legendary my friends starting the game 3 days ago and at the 9 packs a legendary ... depends of your luck :/

[Technostar]

Its not pay2win, because you can get everything with just much time

[xCyburn]

The argument that you can get everything with a lot of time is complety bullshit. Yes you do, but how many months or years you need? I guess a total of 6000 hours and you would have the most - important - cards. If you want to start with Hearthstone and want to achieve something then I would buy a account with a lot of cards on it. That is way cheaper then buying all those packs.

I just could say, ive got luck.
i started and my secound Pack was a legendary.

But hey, they need to earn somethink too.

[Ranodrol]

I spend 50 euros fot it just to get the cards faster.

The definition of p2w is that you can buy yourself or your team an advantage in comparsion to an equivalent player/team.
Yep it is.

[Mazz3]

Nope, that's not true ... payers dont get any advantages, except the saving of time...

Stop crying - start crafting !

Stomp the arena, farm free cards/boosters/money for entry

...so far,
Mazze !

[Weiberh3ld]

actually if youre able to play the game you wont have problems with gettin boosters.
being able to get more gold from arena then you payed is pretty easy to me...

[Suco[W]]

well i got 4 legendary´s in only 18 boosters o.o

[BBQPizza]

I got from my first free pack a golden epic, not that bad a think

and no, HS is not Pay 2 Win...ofcourse you can put tons of money into it and get a bunch of cards but at the end, a free 2 play player can also have ALL cards, so its not P2W, imo.

At the beginning the game is throwing card packs at you for every "achievement".
You just disenchant cards you dont wanna play and create cards you would like to play with. If you are good you just play arena at the beginning. 5 wins is already 1 card pack and 150 gold back + other stuff.

Not many. You don't need EVERY card in the game to do well. Actually you don't even need many considering there is the Zoo deck which is doing extremely good in ranked but let's talk about solid control decks.
Even here you can farm a good control deck pretty fast. Many people did.
Especially now that Naxx provides you with guaranteed legendaries and good non-legend cards.
