I'll buy cosmetics if it is how I get to donate money to devs that I *want* to donate money to. PoE or DoTA2 or whatever, I'm all for a bit of cosmetics spending. I actually don't at all care about the items but there we are.
HS? Not a chance in hell I would buy a cosmetic item. The game is fun and all but I sure don't feel like I want to give Blizzard any more money than I have. Even if I did, I'd just buy packs or something.

Yea, Im the same, I've purchased skins/costumes in LoL / GW2 but prices seem a lot more reasonable than $10 per portrait. $90 for a full set is insane.

Had my best bit of luck so far (warning, slight glurge incoming).
My gran passed away and I played some HS to take my mind off things. Had a lot of quests to do, and by the time I finished I was able to open some packs. Had a real feeling I'd get a legendary because I haven't opened one in ages, and I just had it my mind that today of all days it would happen. Was hoping for nozdormu, because its such a unique and cool card and I think it would have suited the occasional well.
Of course this is blizzard, so the packs I opened with gold had fuck all in them. I decided to drop a little rl coin (just two packs) for the first time in ages, just because I had that feeling, and ended up with :-
So I was super happy. Van cleef is a great one for me because i love rogue but am absolutely terrible at it, so would be hesitant to create van cleef if I never opened him. Doubt Ill ever see two legends in one pack again, and cheered up an otherwise very grim day.

Anyone getting "We're having trouble transferring data. Please check your internet connection and try again" error bullshit when trying to update? It is stuck at 90% and keeps saying that at the same point. Is there a better workaround than reinstalling? Scan and repair was unsuccessful and gave me the same message within 3 seconds of pressing the button. Normally I'd guess this was just an indication that the servers are down, but I've always been able to patch completely once you can patch at all? Why would it let me patch to 90%? Plus I can see friends playing, so the servers are up. Fuck you buggy blizzard.

I caved, and bought Medivh...I'm so weak.
He has a very cool entrance. it changes the Fireblast hero power from being fire to being arcane purple blast which looks cool.
Funny thing about it, when the game start he says "Let the games begin". If you play against another Medivh, the other one says "Let the game begins" and yours says "Oh, they already started" which I though was funny.
On a different note, I went from 20 to 15 last night so my run of bad luck seems to have ended...go Medivh go...totally pay to win.

Yeah, I've never bought any cosmetic option in a game and won't be starting now. Just beat an Alleria hunter and it felt good.
On another note (to beat a dead horse), the current meta and difference from hero to hero is incredibly frustrating. It is easy to rank up playing Warlock, Hunter, or Warrior, but god forbid you want to play priest, shaman, or druid. The change in difficulty is night and day. I ranked up from 16 to 8 in 3 days of playing mostly Zoo. Today I had daily quest for Druid or Hunter. Hunter would have been the easy choice, but I'm trying to level up other classes besides Hunter, Warlock, and Mage.
Ended up going 3-10 playing first a midrange druid deck, then a ramp deck. Dropped my rank from 8 to 10. (Kind of regretting crafting Cenarius a couple weeks ago - think I should have gone Jaraxxus, Geddon, or Van Cleef.) This difference between the success rates of different decks is extremely frustrating to me. I don't like being pigeon-holed into a handful of decks in order to be competitive. This is my main issue with the game at the moment, and if my frustration continues to grow, will be the issue that stops me from playing regularly.

The funniest part is that they could have easily spent less time and effort to create new deck slots at $1 a pop and made 10x as much.

I had 3 Druid quests at once and went from 10 to 8 easily. Mostly vs Hunters. Just luck I guess. I haven't been grinding games this month. I'm rank 8 mainly from Dailies. I've been playing some Dragon decks and have had decent win rates. Dragon Paladin & Priest so far and will probably try the Malylock deck soon.
