It's been 6 years. Despite record profits, the Hearthstone team has given us: No achievements, No trackable stats, No tourney mode, No replays.

The only major updates the players get are more cards every few months, most of which are... underwhelming. And all of which are EXPENSIVE.

The team is nowhere to be found when we mention this to them. They appear on the subreddit for a little while when an expansion drops, then disappear. They skip over posts like these.

Is anyone else tired of being ignored about these updates or is it just me?

Since this thread is blowing up, here are some features that they should consider adding. Comment what you'd like to see and I'll add it here on the main post:

•Achievements

•New Boards, Heroes and Borders unlockable via gameplay

•New permanent game mode

•More frequent balance patches (Nerfs, Buffs)

•Tourney mode

•Replays, match history

•Fixing the freezing client

•More communication on topics like these

•More Deck Slots. Rearrangeable decks <-- Is this really too much to ask?

•Customizable friendly games

•Ability to "GG" your opponent 5 gold after a game

•In-game stats

•Auto-Squelch

•Built in Deck Tracker

•Fix "New Card" Bug

•Social Features (Clans)

Edit: RIP

Edit: The point of this post is to get some sort of response from the Devs as to why this game is not being updated. Don't ignore us anymore. The community wants some sort of response from you. Even if we don't like the response..talk to us.

Edit2: How does Reno stay in such good shape?

Edit 3: Just woke up. Glad this is still at the top. I'll be reposting is everyday until we get a dev response.

    I don't normally comment, but I believe every comment is worth something. /u/IksarHS I have listened to your interviews with The Angry Chicken, followed your r/hearthstone activity, and so I am sure you are reading everything in this forum.

    I am just another notification for your inbox. I know it. But if every notification draws another eye to this forum post, then it doesn't matter if you read what I say individually.

    Avid HS player since day 1. I went F2P last year. Haven't looked back. This game just isn't worth my money as it currently stands. Please make changes.

    Questions like this come up every couple weeks, they always come up in an AMA, and someone on the team answers in some fashion every time. We have features on our roadmap. We have ideas we are excited about, and we have content in development that is well beyond the idea phase. When that content is ready for the public eye it'll be released on our official channels, but rarely if ever will these things be announced on reddit in comment form.

    As for our past and current content development pipeline, Hearthstone used to be a very small team focused on building a great core game experience. Over many years, that team built most of the base level interactions you see in the game today along with a pretty cool set a basic and classic cards. Over time, we greatly expanded the team in order to support the rapid 4-month cadence we release card expansions. We expanded a little to support Tavern Brawls and Events, then expanded even more to support a ton of single player mode experimentation that resulted in things like Dungeon Run, Puzzle Mode, and Dalaran Heist.

    The truth is our game has a ton of development upkeep. It takes a small army of folks to support our 4-month expansion and single player pipeline. Just in the last year or so our team has grown to a point where we can support both those pipelines and get dreaming on what the future might hold. So we have been. We started working on a bunch of different things, we're just not quite ready to share what those things are.
