Yeah I'm pretty set on this, pretty sure they are doing what they did with D3. But guess what happens now? You get on Hearthstone, you maybe like it, you think, well I got this game free, why not buy some decks to even cost? Boom you are paying them for something you didn't even want originally, while at the same time locked into a year sub with WoW. Think about it this way, if you already play WoW, and you plan to for a while, that locked in subscription wouldn't mind you, and hey you get Hearthstone free on the process? Hell yeah that's totally badass. In fact, with the F2P strategy they are going with this is a really win-win for them. I sort of fell in this trap when D3 came out, you guys remember the 1-Year subscription, you get the fancy mount and D3 for free? This is going to be the same thing, or very similar, 90% sure of it. Basically, they do this just to keep their core WoW players spending money, even if they don't play the other games. It is all about marketing, they make a mount they know people will want, to attach to an upcoming game of theirs, to increase sales. When Cata came out, you could preorder and get 5 months of game subscription. You could also buy a years worth of WoW membership and get D3 free for life. When D3 came out, you could preorder and get the companion in WoW. It's going to be a package deal sort of thing, like they have done with almost every release.

Not sure why anyone ever really connected this to the Beta, because even the achievement pretty much tells you what it's about. Comment by ZarpyI'm not sure how everyone is 'completely clueless' on this achievement, because Blizzard has done things like this in the past, quite a bit actually.
