    I started playing in 2015 (during TGT I believe). The golden legendaries I have opened are:

    Classic: Onyxia, was probably among the 15th-18th legendary I opened in my classic packs.

    TGT: Gormok the Impaler, was the 4th or 5th legendary I opened in that expansion.

    Gadgetzan: Don Han'Cho, was the 8th legendary I opened in that expansion.

    Un'goro: Pyros, was the first legendary I opened in that expansion.

    The Witchwood: Lady in White, Duskfallen Aviana, Emeriss (As you can probably tell, The Witchwood was my best expansion ever in terms of pack quality), I think I opened a total of 11 legendaries in that expansion.

    Rastakhan's Rumble: Princess Talanji, I think it was the 4th legendary I opened in that expansion.

    I haven't disenchanted any of them (yes, not even Duskfallen Aviana :p)

    I use multiple gamer names:

    The most common one I use is 'GerritDeMan', which is also my username here and on Hearthpwn. 'Gerrit' is a Dutch name which I thought sounded funny (it isn't my real name) and 'de man' is dutch for 'the man'. I honestly have no good reason other than that I think it sounds funny.

    I also sometimes use 'Een Bakje Sla' or 'Een Bakje Gerrit' or 'Gerritsla'. 'Een Bakje Sla' is Dutch for 'a small tray/bowl of salad'. I came up with it once when I wanted to just have a really dumb username. Sometimes I combine it with 'Gerrit' to form 'Een Bakje Gerrit' or 'Gerritsla' (explained above) just because I can.

    My oldest username that I don't use a lot anymore is 'Wolto10'. Wolto is a weird alteration of my real name (Wouter) which someone at school once said to me I believe, and I was 10 years old at the time so there you go.

    Yeah Hearthstone sometimes brings out a side of me that I'm not proud of:

    • When I get unlucky against a netdecking player I will often rope them if I'm dead the next turn. Meanwhile a bunch of swear words are likely to leave my mouth.
    • I'm far from a violent person IRL, but sometimes the salt piles up so much that I just have to hit my desk or a pillow (sometimes multiple times). I wasn't proud when one day I punched my desk so hard that it resulted in clearly visible cracks. Honestly I hate that it can get to me that much in general. I really envy people who can completely keep calm after they are continuously plagued by terrible rng.

    I'm the same as you as in that only Hearthstone really brings out this side of me. A lot of people would probably recommend us to stop playing, but I still enjoy the fun sides of Hearthstone too much to do that. I've played League of Legends a lot (and still do occasionally) and while I can of course get salty playing it I don't get nearly as angry when I play Hearthstone, and trust me when I say the League community can be quite toxic.

    Like you said, I don't think showing self-reflection and awareness of toxic behavior justifies it, but it's probably still good to face your shortcomings in order to improve yourself. :)

    Cheers
