    What did people expect them to announce? They specifically said it's something small they've been working on the side. If you don't want to play don't play.

    By that definition, League of Legends is pay to win, Dota is pay to win and Team Fortress 2 is pay to win.
    Rather, every single game that have two currencies would be considered Pay to win.

    In any case, this game actually looks fun.
    I've spent a lot of time playing Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, WoW TCG and Pokemon, so this is a typical game that will appeal to me.

    Wow they found another lame way to suck time out of people while doing little work and making lots of money. I'm about done with this company.

    This looks kind of cool, people were actually expecting them to be announcing some huge new game, and are now taking out their annoyance on this, rather than blaming their own hyped up speculation eh? Who would have seen that one coming a mile off...

    There was a lot of hate over the pet battles, and now it's actually a pretty popular feature. People should at least give this a chance.

    Did people really expect this to be some great project like Titan?

    So what if Blizzard makes a card game? If you don't like it, don't purchase it. I'm sure there are people out there who'll enjoy it.

    Good lord, some people are so self-entitled. "Wah! Blizz made a game I'm not interested in!"

    Well, it's free to play....so no need.
    You should rather say: "If you don't like it, don't download it".

    Blizzard STILL copying the living crap out of Everquest!!! this is HILARIOUS lol.

    Everquest has a game called LEGENDS OF NORRATH.

    Now WoW has a game called HEROES OF WARCRAFT

    What an absolute joke.

    Shhh! It's a secret that Pet Battles are actually fun. Here, let me tell you what you are supposed to say:

    "BWAH! MORE STUFF FOR KIDS, WAARHG!!"

    Oh, wait, I forgot to put the word "casual" there somewhere.

    I didn't know Everquest invented the word "of".

    Shouldn't it be called Legends of Azeroth for it to be a copy? Or is the other game also called Heroes of Everquest?

    Dang I was hoping for Blizzard Allstars.... Oh well I might try it but this didn't seem worth the hype Blizz put into it.
