Grrr. The bleedin' cards I need to make some of the decks I want to try are all in an expansion that appears to only be available for massive amounts of monies.
Boo! Down with that sort of thing.
I guess it depends how much you like the game, how much you think you'll play it, and as such how much cash it's worth investing.
I spent fairly heavily early on but managed to get over the hump whereby as long as Blizzard keep the pricing model the same - (100 gold per pack of cards, which is the only thing to think about now the adventures are finished) - I should be able to stay in 'freeplay' mode from now on.
Me and EBG had a few words about this earlier in this thread, and my contention was the game is not 'pay to win' so much as 'pay to play', in that the more expansive your card collection is, the more choices you have to play optimal meta decks (or just interesting decks that appeal to you), rather than being to stuck to particular classes and/or decks. (As players such as Trump have demonstrated multiple times over the years, it's entirely possible to get to Ranks 3-4 with a single focused deck on a brand new free-to-play account with not a single penny spent.)
Personally though, I just love the fact that any deck I like the look of, I can have a go with - and to me, that's well worth the £166 total I've spent on the game over the last 3 1/2 years.
What's your BIG CASH MONIES investment in the game thus far Curio?
