Since I've opened all the useless legendaries for Warlock and none of the good ones, I made a "Crap legendaries" deck just to meme around with Deck of Chaos, Fel Lord Betrug and Archwitch Willow. Today I beat a Quest resurrect Priest in wild (forgot to switch format) to much joy!
2) Second bigger issue: With the new system I am actually playing less. Before, completing a quest you got an instant reward. 50, 60, 80, 100 gold, and so on. You actually felt that if you are going to fill your quest log and not play, you will miss on gold and you will not be able to get as many packs. Now, I am free to play, so this is a big thing for someone who wants to use the next expansion.
With the new system, I don't have that. I complete a quest, gives me a 1000 XP, and I still have 2000 XP more to go to get the next 100 gold, which I will get some time in the next three days. That removes the urgency of logging in.
Once you get above level 50, every level is 1200-1500 exp, so fulfilling a quest will get you a level or very close to getting a level
So I guess you're not alone. I'm also sitting with 45 extra gold since 2 years ago (I mean 5 extra gold, since before reward track), and still have 2 free tickets from the reward track. I could've just play arena or duel, but I don't think I can do it in one run. I need more time to play arena, but I don't have that time.
That's why sometime, I throw Dean a tweet about adding 5 gold reward for every achievements, so that people become more interested in completing it.
But I'm getting pessimistic it would happen anyway since Dean himself stated that he doesn't see gold as a "fun" way to reward player. *shrugs*
Sad to hear that, decided I would add a disclaimer at the beginning of the guide considering the huge drop in power for demon hunter in duels after the nerfs.
Fun day today! Made an elf/poison deck, cleric deck, and tweaked my mono-black control. Disrupting a lot of old meta strats. Did really well but I think that's partly because the new cards caught people off guard. Think the Foretell will be easy enough for people to predict as the meta settles and the obvious winners stick out. I think mono-white control may be really good.
Your point 1 has a small caveat. You can actually eventually* get it to a round number but only if you're willing to go through arena and heroic duels, of which the rewards can come in as small as 20g. So its not technically stuck at a useless number, just floating about until one day you get lucky.
Point 2 is largely personal. I used to complete everything once every 3 days, and sometimes I still do that, but that's not a metric us players should be concerned about. That's for blizz to get us to come in more often, and the switch to xp has not really changed my habits to be honest.
It is great for other things I have to get done, like studies and work projects, and teach my kid some school stuff.
That seems ideal to me. Play hearthstone and maximize gains without much fuss AND get to live a life beyond it. I've never understood how some players outside of high legend can ever put more than 1.5 hours a day and not feel like they've been about as productive as a slug getting from one end to the other, but to each their own.
The problem was never my phone app, but my computer. When I log in through my phone, all is there. It is when I try to log in through my computer that it is all gone. But never mind, I just play with my phone now.
You're missing the point. As others stated, you are using a pseudo account on mobile. It's better to figure out how to convert that into a real bnet account if possible. Otherwise at some point your collection WILL go missing permanently because you have to switch to a new phone.
Hey, just two comments about the ranking system I didn't hear anyone talk about much:
1) One small aspect: The fact that you don't get 10 gold after three wins leave you with coins you will never be able to use. I have 40 coins that once in a while turn to 90. It is an endless circle that will never turn to a- 100 (or 50) Gold that will allow me to purchase anything.
2) Second bigger issue: With the new system I am actually playing less. Before, completing a quest you got an instant reward. 50, 60, 80, 100 gold, and so on. You actually felt that if you are going to fill your quest log and not play, you will miss on gold and you will not be able to get as many packs.

It is great for other things I have to get done, like studies and work projects, and teach my kid some school stuff, but not good for a company that wants to get its login ratings up and not down.
Anyway, that is my experience, don't want to beat a dead horse, but just wanted to share a personal observation.
Enjoy the post-nerf wild, I will probably not get in to play before tomorrow.

I do admittedly like Demon Hunter, but I do wish they would expand their design quite a bit. It feels like 70% of their cards are just gaining Attack, drawing cards, or gaining Attack AND drawing cards. This also makes it hard to design good custom cards for it.
That's what I/we were expecting too. They don't have another "usual patch time" so it's impossible to say.
There was also a long maintenance downtime announced a few days ago for today in Battle.net client (6:30 p.m. till 8 a.m), but the announcement is gone now.

I don't mean to nitpick and I understand there are number of perfectly valid reasons for why this might happen, but PLEASE at least put in some kind of effort to avoid having this many typos. One or two typos here or there is fine, having improper punctuation or capitalization is fine, but when every other word has the letters switched around it makes your post difficult to read and it also makes people take you less seriously.

Demonic Studies gave me Magtheridon on T3 to mess up his r(c)ess pool and Fel Lord Betrug was the MVP mid-game with a LOT of extra value, including an additional Envoy Rustwix. With him finally at 2 health Solarian Prime finished him off in style.
