Ten legendary crests? That's just some purple crystals, who cares. And the bigger you buy the more value you get! It's only a click away. Having fun grinding a dungeon? Wouldn't it be more fun if you added a couple legendary crests? It's only a couple bucks. But there's a blood rose just out of sight, feeding on the impulsive and slowly poisoning everything of value. I actually really enjoy the gameplay, which isn't surprising considering it's basically a stripped down d3 which has very solid gameplay. And the gameplay isn't dumbed-down at all, its just as engaging as when I play paper MTG. Monetization is hardly predatory, sometimes even optional - if all you do is play arena mode, you can be perma-F2P by just being good at it. Hearthstone is the polar opposite, the lootboxes are booster packs - a card game staple. Especially only after it became apparent that almost all mobile games are centered around some of the crappiest 'features' of recent game design: lootboxes, ""micro""-transactions that can cost more than a AAA title's price, and extremely dumbed-down gameplay. It was actually because of Hearthstone that I took umbrage at Blizzard's sudden need to spam mobile games. Blizzard already has a better one, its called Hearthstone, and is solely the reason other card games began creating their own mobile versions(including the paper card game king, MTG).
