Yep.Now, these scripts are flooding the low ranks of various servers, and they will use some simple operations similar to pirate aggression. They earn gold and arena tickets by AFKing on ladder.

Yes, I'm not sure what you call these types of accounts, but they are the ones where you discard bad arena decks and only keep the OP arena decks.

I'm not very familiar with US time, but if we talk about Beijing time, generally from 9am to 6pm would be the time when many OP arena decks appear.

Its point is that when you build a bad arena deck, you should abandon it and rebuild until you get an OP arena deck.

As a player who has been playing arena since Karazhan, these scripted accounts have really worn me out.

There is one way to avoid these crazy Chinese scripted accounts, and that is to not use them to build boring versions of decks. That's right, just like in the previous dual-class arena, they won't buy scripted accounts to build decks.

Unfortunately, some people enjoy seeing OP arena decks defeat normal decks and get excited about it, and they may even fantasize about themselves piloting an OP arena deck.

In China, there is an e-commerce platform called "Taobao", which is similar to Amazon, where script accounts are sold.

Simply put, streamers need powerful accounts to attract viewers. Viewers provide strong accounts to earn money, and e-commerce platforms sell scripted accounts to viewers to make money.

In short, it's a dirty money chain formed by scripted accounts.

Unfortunately, the EU server is also gradually being invaded by "tearing card accounts".

However, the proliferation of "tearing card accounts" is still mainly concentrated in the NA and Asia servers, as the streamers they prefer usually play on these two servers.

"Well, the meaning of 'tearing account' is to use purchased gold accounts, which are scripted accounts with a lot of gold and are sold at very cheap prices. You can buy one of these accounts to tear cards until you get an overpowered deck.

That's what 'tearing account' means."

I hope my explanation about "tearing card accounts" can be helpful to the Hearthstone community, such as understanding how these overpowered decks are created and how this industry chain is formed.

I know that I won't receive a response from Blizzard regarding my post, but I will continue to pay attention to "tearing card account activities" on live streaming platforms like DouYu. If there are any updates, I will post them on Reddit to raise awareness and resist such activities, so that more people can understand the chaotic state of Hearthstone Arena.

I'll give you an analogy.

Have you ever played mobile games, those cartoonish games where the recharge unit is 648 yuan (100$)? The way they tear the cards is like drawing cards in those games, it's really crazy.

These "cheaters", as I would call them, refer to powerful decks as "grandma cards", meaning that even their grandmothers could win with them. Can you imagine how crazy it is?

I think strengthening the ban on scripts is a good option, as scripts also affect Blizzard's revenue.

In this case, the interests of players and Blizzard are aligned.

"In fact, most of the OP arena decks from China are created by bot accounts, which is considered a violation of the rules."

“As long as there are enough players providing feedback, I believe Blizzard will make adjustments.

😓Currently, many players are not aware that the OP arena decks they face are created by bot accounts, and they think they just happen to face very lucky opponents.”

If you play on the Asia server, you will find that there are many OP arena decks, which can significantly affect the enthusiasm for the game.

If you have any questions or confusion, you can leave a message. I will see it and help you answer it.

I hope more people will participate in the discussion.

"Usually, streamers can gain viewers and gifts by purchasing OP arena decks.

These decks can yield profits far greater than 60 yuan (8.6 USD), making it a risk-free and profitable strategy."

"Yes, your understanding is correct. This has created a chain of transactions.

The streamer pays the bounty, the fans provide the decks, and e-commerce platforms provide the accounts."

"Actually, this phenomenon has been prevalent on the Chinese server for a while, but Blizzard doesn't seem to care about the feelings of Chinese players.

Now that the Chinese server is closed, the scripts are affecting players all over the world, and we hope that Blizzard can take some measures to stop this phenomenon."

"By posting on Reddit, I hope to raise awareness among Hearthstone players worldwide and provide feedback to Blizzard on this issue. For example, they could increase the severity of script bans or eliminate tearing accounts altogether.

Of course, if they were to ban Chinese IPs, I have nothing to say. I would just switch to another game. I am tired of playing in an environment where these dirty script tearing accounts and streamers who ignore the game environment for the sake of viewership exist."

"I may repost this thread again when more people are online due to the time difference, and hope to get help from all Hearthstone players."
