I know someone who sold his account for over €2000, last year.

What makes an account expensive in Hearthstone, the collectable that can not be earned, or the things a bot can get, like what you describe?

You have 2 groups of buyer:

- beginner or very casual dude, who likes the game but doesn't want to grind or invest a lot, so he buys the bot account you describe for very little. All he wants is to save money and enjoy the game, so he won't give more than a few $ for that.

- roleplayers, no other way to say it, but not in a bad way. Someone who really likes the game, is a collector and will invest a shit ton of $$ to get everything. This guy does not give a shit about gold, wins or collection. This guy wants: all the seasonal cardback, golden gelbin, golden ETC.. Basically the things you can't buy, but you had to be there on time. Why start creating a full account if you lack the 1st seasonal cardbacks?

The second guy is the one who pays a shitload of money, not the nice casual dude.

eu is really behind in the meta I think.. a lot of eu players ignore the pro scene or something.. just hasn't caught on.
similarly on NA my best run has been 9-1 in beta, with maybe a few 10's 10's and 9's since.. but in my first 10 arenas on eu I had a 12-0 and no games under 7 wins.

at the end of a season there are usually double the amount of legend slots filled on eu vs NA.. but im unsure if that is because the meta above legend is complete out of the loop, or if there are actually that many 'better' players.. idk.. anyway in my experience na harder, at least as far as arena goes..
