Feedback for Gadgetzan's Website Marketing (Daily Click)

Blizzard is currently using a marketing system that is just painful for the community. That's not just my opinion, the numbers (and other reddit posts) are saying that. Having to vote every single day to only earn something at the end of the week for something we'll get anyway? Dire. I hope you can give them your feedback aswell, but here are my ideas:

If you really want to keep this daily system, give us something everyday. For example, day 1 we get a new common card, day 2 a cool story about the gang, day 3 an epic card, day 4 show us the mana cost and the stats of the legendary and on the final day the complete legendary.

But in my opinion, the easiest (and best) solution is to group everything in a single bar. You can vote during the week, and AS SOON AS the bar fills, reveal the card.

What do you guys think?

Why didn't you guys learn from League of Explorers, which gets the popular vote for best expansion? Can you imagine how much hype you'd generate if you announced Gangs of Gadgetzan and said "It comes out next week!"?

The timing for LoE worked out because we were actually that close to the Adventure being ready to ship. Unfortunately, we are still a bit aways from Mean Streets being ready to ship. The only way to achieve what you suggest in this particular case is to not announce anything at BlizzCon.

My hipe is gone since I recognized that cards of my main class will not released. Can't understand why you don't mix it up.

The weeks are themed because the cards from each crime family are intended to work with each other. If the cards are all mixed up then cards like Dispatch Kodo or Doppelganger won't make any sense without seeing the appropriate supporting cards.

Thanks for the feedback, it actually means a lot to us. We try to evolve the campaigns each time based on the feedback that was provided. It's interesting that there seems to be a lot of support for the previous campaign models in this thread, because we specifically tried to do something different this time due to the large amounts of negative feedback previously when those campaigns were running. Specifically, there was a lot of negative feedback about not knowing when cards were being revealed. So one of the main things we tried to address was to set specific reveal times for each of the cards. Unfortunately, setting specific reveal times wasn't really possible when voting between multiple cards due to logistical challenges, so we went with the current model this time.
