So when I first read about the new pre-order packs that Blizzard is releasing for the next Hearthstone expansion, I was a little confused as to why they would go back on giving away 20 bonus packs as a pre-order reward when it was so well received last expansion. However, I pretty quickly realized that to me, personally, I would MUCH rather have a guaranteed golden legendary card with my pre-order packs than 20 extra packs.
That being said, I have most of my Hearthstone collection completed at this point and will probably have most of the new cards pretty soon after the expansion is released. From a collector/completionist point of view, the free golden legendary is obviously of WAY higher value considering how relatively low your chances of pulling a golden legendary from a regular ol' pack are.
But since the legendary is random and there's a fairly high chance the golden legendary you end up with will be pretty god damn useless, I'm wondering if a new player would find the 20 free packs in the pre-order way more valuable.
Vote and discuss! I'm curious to hear everyone's opinions.
