New Rewards System

**New Rewards System, the Battle Pass**, AKA: Battl€ Pa$$ is Blizzard's latest hook, line and sinker scam disguised as a blessing. In this case, it is a "revamp" of Daily Quests, in the sense that by revamp, we mean they get considerably less viable. It's okay, though, because Hearthstone is, at last, a game with achievements like all the others, so we can finally justify dumping endless hours into it.

## What's new and cool about it

You will no longer get quests like before. That's old news. Now you get "assignments". The difference? The daily task that is given to you might no longer award you anything. You see, the "experience" we mentioned earlier is not just a pretty aesthetic that lets you distinguish yourself as a veteran. It is actually a handy meter to keep track of how much money you should be making. More specifically, the money you should not be making!

The further you go, the harder it is to make money in game, meaning the more quests you do, the longer you might go by without a single piece of gold entering your account! Sweet! Even better, they managed to make it so that you, sometimes, don't even get gold as your reward, so all that grinding will just instead turning into something useless instead! Epic! And the most awesome thing is... no more gold after your three victories! Those 10 gold people were miserably scraping up as they played the game for half an hour daily were clearly wrecking Blizzard's economy, so that's gone. Time will tell if this means, at least, the end of bots in HS, at the expense of literally everyone else.

Fanboys have already rallied up behind Blizzard, however, stating that their display of math (while knowingly omitting the parts where players clearly lose value on many quests to get the same money as before) is clearly proof that there is nothing fraudulent about this. Their commentary on arena losing all its value, the pittance of daily gold vanishing and Blizzard's secrecy about this whole system until it was finally released is yet unannounced, but rest assured they have a logical explanation as to why the people being scammed are the ones who are entitled.

## Wait, what?! What is all my effort being turned into, if not gold?

Here's the list of crap you can get from your work, apart from gold, of course:

* Old packs (Blizzard loves handing out these)
* Prompts to spend money in exchange of half-assed portraits
* Free Arena runs (remember those?)
* More old packs (and we mean really old, AoO *old*)
* Card backs (nice especially when you are in level 23 and looking back at how that could instead be 100 gold)

But there are some good things (in the sense that they distract you from the money you're losing), if you are a good little slave and work your ass off (before the reset screws you over, never forget), you can also get these baity rewards:

* Random legendaries
* An alternate hero that is actually alright of your choice (if you get to level 50)
* Big piles of gold that admittedly feel good when you get them
* Some stuff that might be decent if you actually pay money

## Ways to get experience as you desperately try to remain F2P

* Complete achievements (a fuckton of them, the easy ones don't give you anything but a bunch of worthless achievement points)
* Complete weekly quests (then wait for 6 days to get more)
* Complete daily quests (and get ready to earn nothing from them most of the time as it won't even level you up)
* Play ranked and *only ranked*
* Buy the Tavern Pass (as if preorder wasn't expensive enough, and do note that even buying that won't help you make up for the gold you lose by the introduction of this system alone)
* Commit suicide

## In a nutshell

If you don't know whether to laugh or cry, it means you are not a braindead fanboy or otherwise owned by a corporation. Congratulations!
