To answer your question, the old system suited me just fine. However, I'm a big fan of the new system. It has a real sense of progression and when things get stale, I can pursue achievements.
As for the tavern pass and the battle pass, I honestly am not a fan of them but I understand its how business works. I can opt in or out if I so choose. I've been F2P in the past 5 years I've been playing except for the purchase of Naxx (the only old adventure I was missing.)
Companies get greedy - and it was bound to happen eventually. However, I think judgement should be reserved until the next expansion releases.
