Why couldn’t they keep the existing arena, and add the other two formats? There must be a lot of fear for any changes to modes they make, as they all failed or been removed.

If the kept the existing arena format, there would be less fear and fewer annoyed players who like it as it is and don’t want it to change. Then they could simply see which of the 3 formats performs the best.

Or perhaps you meant CEST? I think that’d still be 19:00.

A lot European clocks went forward for spring this last weekend. Unless EU is getting it an hour after everyone else, then you mean 18:00 Central European Time on Tuesday (March 30) ?

Name one punishment system that actually works.

Spanking children? Incarcerating adults? Fining drivers that break the speed limit?

Name a single thing that has been eradicated through punishment. It is always better to educate and help.

Blizzard should not build a system that encourages punishable activity. Don’t focus on the punishable activity, or make one punishable. Focus on making a positive experience for everyone.

Please do not advocate or recommend ways to punish others (eg take away xp for a week). Always push the positive narrative.

Try not to simply state that other people have made bad calculations, without actually presenting your own.

Otherwise, not a bad article.

It is refreshing to see some genuinely critical, well presented Hearthstone articles.
