HS decks added by a handful of people over and over again

Hi, it occurred to me several times in the past and today still that most of the Hearthstone decks on this wonderful community site are added by the same handful of people over and over again and very frequently. I am not going to name names here, nor do I really have to because it is pretty obvious which members are doing this (just look at the frontpage). Also, the reason is most likely to generate traffic to their streams/videos/channels.

Somehow this does not feel right/fair, but I am not even sure this is the best way to describe it. There are no restrictions set into place to limit this behavior and I am not even advocating for it, but I am just wondering about your opinion if you have any.

Cheers!

  • Yes, a lot of the decks posted are creators wanting more foot traffic.  Which is fine in my opinion.  But only if they are posting actual deck creations.  A certain “content creator” was posting decks at the start of Festival of Legends with deck titles including stuff like “This deck is so broken” and I noticed they were literally posting the premade deck recipes. Like… 100%, card for card!  So I just ignore all their content and cries for attention after that.

    Another thing might be that fewer people are posting decks than they used to? I used to post Wild decks, but over the last few years I kind of lost my creative spark when it comes to HS.  I used to see new cards and be like “Oh!  I can do X, Y, and Z with those!”  But now I just don’t get that same feeling with the game.

    • I totally agree and I am glad that I was not the only one noticing this phenomenon.

      My personal motivations for adding Hearthstone decks to OoC is to share the knowledge about playing the game efficiently. This usually happens whenever I reach legend in any format or after completing a very difficult/annoying achievement. I am not making any money on Hearthstone, quite the opposite actually which I have no issues with. Hearthstone still is my favorite digital pastime.

      That I'm not a fan of though. We don't really have any policies that are against that though.

  • Quite simply, it's allowed. I encourage content creators to post their decks here because it is a great resource for the community and it helps them build their channels which is only a positive thing for the game. Even better, some people link to their decks in their video descriptions which helps the site too - it's a mutual relationship =)
