Hey there! Firstly, I gotta say- That’s an insanely impressive track record you have, seriously, that’s awesome! I’d be super interested to know if you play with a deck tracker and if so, is it one that keeps track of your time in game? Totally irrelevant I know, I’m sorry.

(I’m a freak for the potential that statistics like that have when they’re from super invested players; Additionally, this is extra interesting since this is one of the few games I’ve been invested in since it’s beginnings in the closed beta and then continued to play consistently ever since. I say that for relevancy sake because the reason I’m so impressed is that comparatively, I only have ~2,200 total ranked wins vs that nearly 20,000 win milestone of yours! Haha I’m sure by that you can deduce that even though I’ve always been an active player I’ve always enjoyed a balance of everything available in Hearthstone more so than I’ve enjoyed ranked play) Aaaanyway lmao

I hope you don’t mind me chiming in with a personal take on why I (and possibly others) enjoy the paid cosmetics enough to dish out for them.

(My intentions are only for the sake of offering additional perspective, I totally understand and respect your opinion and am in no way attempting to change it or start an argument in any way!)
I’d say one of the most ‘obvious’ / ‘easiest’ reasons I find the hero portraits that have been obtained via pay incentive so appealing, is the exclusivity that Blizzard has somewhat thematically made them to be; That is, outside of: Magni, Alleria, Medhiv, The newly introduced ‘Premium’ Tavern Passes’ “Standard Annhylde Hero Portrait,” 3 “Tier” Jaina, 3 “Tier” Thrall, and in some regard, Khadgar for being made available a 2nd time, unlike the remainder of the paid portraits who were only available either as a short, promotionally structured pack & portrait limited
time ‘bundle’ or as an incentive to preorder an upcoming expansions’ more ‘elite’ edition before being retired from sale permanently. I gotta say though, for someone who really values their collections in the games they decide to invest in, missing any one time sale is so painful and I’m honestly so conflicted when it comes to the topic of how to remedy that, because I’m pretty sure the reason it feels so awesome to have a certain thing collected, stems from 1. How totally kick-ass the collectable is & maybe a bit of: 2. knowing how terrible you’d feel if you’d missed out on getting it. I figure this is probably more extensive of a comment than anyone would be compelled to read and I don’t blame anyone for that lmfao so I’m gonna stop being weird and end this.

Hey Solaris, I’m actually in the process of pulling all relevant Progression Revamp info into a space that’s easier to navigate, browse, and manually (for now at least) track specific achievements- I wasn’t able to find anything concrete when I looked around so I’m not sure if someone else has the same inclination to create what I’m going for, but I’m going to make a personal note to drop by your comment again & drop a link with a document that has what you’re looking for.

Cheers!
