Why not keep the option to still buy boosters with hearts? We "non-paying players" still need to farm hearths, it's not that we get hearth for just play the Game 5min...
Because this....

Unless they change it in a future patch, which they might when you consider today's patch.

The screw-up was in how they tried to monetize the game initially, as they gave away too much for free. At that point, there wasn't a good fix for it.
I really don't have any sympathy for people that complain about what it is they get for free, particularly in a game where having a large player base doesn't improve the gameplay in any way for the players who do pay. Is it nice when the devs "screw up" and give everything away pretty much for free? Not gonna lie, yes. Am I gonna piss and moan when they do something to at least attempt to make money for their work? Nope.

Do *I* think this game is worth $20? Not really. I think they're pricing it a tad high. I haven't noticed a single orb since the patch, so whether or not they drop boosters is irrelevant. (not that I got 'em all that often beforehand. I "play" the game on my second monitor, so it's not like I'm all that likely to notice them in the first place)

(Incidentally, I had assumed the actual monetization scheme was going to involve the Dungeon "events" in some fashion)
