As a casual player that has bought expansions and adventures before, but has not been too into the game lately, the reaction I saw online to the changes seemed overblown. Status quo bias is a real thing, and whenever there is change people complain loudly (As a LOL player there are always complains whenever ANYTHING changes. It can't be as bad as they make it seem. Until I played it. I am not sure if the overall game economy has improved or not, I will leave that to the people doing math, but it just feels wrong, and the experience just made me not want to play the game.
I got a weekly quest of playing 10 old gods. I did not get one in the 30 packs I have opened so far, so I rerolled. New quest win 4+ games in an Arena Run. Sure, Arena is fun, so why not. I have 145 gold, so I just need to get 5 gold. But to get 5 gold I need ~6400 XP, as my next level only gets me a DoD pack.
I closed the game. Games are supposed to be fun. This is not fun.
