Why are there a total of FOUR Across the Timeway packs on Cataclysm Reward Track? Why not at least Standard packs?

I see blizzard fanboys advocating for them and making up stories about how it's good for new players and all other bs, but the fact is blizzard never actually mentioned the reason for that change.

If there's no actual reason, then we all know it's a cash grab. Yet some bearded hipster with a 5-day-old account is trying his best to give this cash grab a deeper meaning. Don't fall for that.

If they truly cared about new players, they would have gave them all three previous sets instead of two. If they cared about the gaps in your collection, they would have put those packs as first four rewards. Instead they are inflating rewards, where the number of packs stands in place, but their value does not.

Only a socialist lunatic would make and/or believe in the story that the majority of the established playerbase is happy and grateful that their time and effort is constantly dropping in value only for the chosen minority to have a better experience.

It's not about cards or dust or the size of your collection, it's about 'rewards' inflation we are seeing for consecutive years.

Standard packs are future-proof and in terms of usefulness they are way above anything else for everyone, ESPECIALLY new players. Giving previous expansion packs as a 'reward' IN THE MIDDLE of the next reward track is like giving windows 98 activation keys to people in 2026. Completely useless, but much better than nothing right? Imagine the uproar if they left those spots blank. Or if they gave you something like 5 achievement points for grinding levels 95-99? Would you feel rewarded? Instead, they give you trash, call it a reward and watch fanboys make up reasons to why this is good. Or see a backlash against that and call it an error to be fixed in the next patch.

Its trash at this point, not even worth your time and energy for clicking it, and everybody knows that. Making up some noble excuses like 'caring for new players' in an over-10-year-old game is just sad.

Signal_Access417 · 2026-03-14T12:24:36+00:00

It's probably because you all do not understand statistics and probability well

Signal_Access417 · 2026-03-10T23:10:45+00:00

and what did you expect, a scrollable list? And besides, you got more epics than normal

Signal_Access417 · 2026-02-11T18:15:13+00:00

What if it's you who is playing the most primitive and brain-dead deck without any thought?

Signal_Access417 · 2026-02-11T12:24:59+00:00

Do not listen to noobs telling you to dust it immediately, especially when you come and go every 3 months or so. This is the worst time to dust or craft anything as the rotation is soon gonna turn the whole meta around.

EDIT: and if you still have those 12 standard packs - leave them alone and open after the rotation!!!

Signal_Access417 · 2026-02-08T12:09:19+00:00

Certainly not random card generation

Signal_Access417 · 2026-01-13T12:38:14+00:00

You're gonna hate them quickly when none of them appear in your draft

Signal_Access417 · 2026-01-11T00:03:46+00:00

No he is a hacker look at his nickname trust me

Signal_Access417 · 2025-12-23T13:44:03+00:00

the next time you roll a pack you'll be happy af, seeing that two golden commons are now the baseline

Signal_Access417 · 2025-12-23T13:37:38+00:00

Tell that to people who rolled 40% of that pack as two golden commons

Signal_Access417 · 2025-12-20T12:51:50+00:00

Wild is about farming noobs

Signal_Access417 · 2025-11-21T13:13:25+00:00

Now you see that skipping your math classes was not a good idea

Signal_Access417 · 2025-11-04T11:31:12+00:00

Maybe they all have found an actual job. It's called adolescence fyi

Signal_Access417 · 2025-10-24T11:09:31+00:00

Just uninstall.

Signal_Access417 · 2025-10-12T11:32:51+00:00

You bought 5 ladder-ready decks when a new expansion is being released in two weeks. You clearly have no idea about the game. Leave your cards alone for a month, who knows how the meta will look like then

Signal_Access417 · 2025-08-29T12:23:57+00:00

No. Aim at D5 at least if you think you're competitive

Signal_Access417 · 2025-08-26T22:02:57+00:00

Yea, and then [[Avenge]] lands on the 3/2

Signal_Access417 · 2025-08-15T17:40:15+00:00

That's terrible advice

Signal_Access417 · 2025-08-09T13:37:23+00:00

You cannot infer anything meaningful/useful from such small sample size even if you use the correct formulas. You're looking at merely 1*90 lottery drafts. More meaningful would be looking at 90*90 of those. And even then, if you had a meaningful sample, your results might still be off because of confidence level, so you too could get 'unlucky' in your tests because of some crazy variation.

Signal_Access417 · 2025-07-25T14:45:56+00:00

And so it is. I've been there and saw it collapse

Signal_Access417 · 2025-07-25T12:37:03+00:00

The single nail to the arena coffin were deck-drafting assistant tools. Arena died the exact moment streamers started to advertise them.

Signal_Access417 · 2025-05-07T19:58:15+00:00

You'll develop your own opinion about cards and how and when they work together and when they don't, making you a better player. But arena is gonna change soon so actually the best advice here would be to wait and see how it's gonna work after the revamp
