@PlayHearthstone @hsdecktech Sincerely, can you stop hiding skins most people would want behind the paywall cash grab that is Heroic Brawl? I love your game, I really do, but this is such bad practice. Stop trying to find the limit at which you can expose your playerbase to. 3 wins was already bad enough.

@Graepefroot @PlayHearthstone Some people want to compete for rare prizes that show off their talent. This has been the case in pretty much every competitive game I've ever played. It's odd to me that folks are trying to paint this as some sort of sneaky negative thing.

@hsdecktech @PlayHearthstone It’s not meant as ‘sneaky’, I would’ve found different wording. I mean it’s downright bad, in my opinion. If it was all about the thrill of competition, it would’ve been free to do so. But it’s not. Which competitive game has the same model?

@Graepefroot @PlayHearthstone It's the same as any game that has a tournament with an entry fee and a special tournament prize. So, from games I've played, at least MTG, YuGiOh (physical and digital), and Pokemon have done stuff like this.

@Graepefroot @PlayHearthstone Also, pretty much every mobile game I've played also has like "event award" cosmetics where if you play a ton during a particular event period you get a special little badge or skin or whatever.

@hsdecktech @Graepefroot @PlayHearthstone I am a fan of rewards being locked behind performance! I feel everyone could be happy if we meet in the middle here and have it be earnable in more heroic brawls going forward instead of just this one. So if you miss out this week you can try again in a few months?

@JordanMGs @Graepefroot @PlayHearthstone I like this idea. I’m not sure if it’s the plan or not at this time, or if that’s even decided yet, but it would make sense to me—like how the Diamond or Golden card backs can be won at many times, not just the first time offered.

@hsdecktech @Graepefroot @PlayHearthstone Matt London's tweet makes it seem exclusive to this week, but we've had stuff changed, or clarified at later points in the past 🤞

@JordanMGs @Graepefroot @PlayHearthstone I hadn't seen that, so adding it here for context for anyone else who also hadn't. Agreed that the team often has flexibility, so I wouldn't necessarily consider this the final say on the matter. https://t.co/pOVFkjnhck
