A few questions about the new gold system

1) It is stated that gold is used to buy card packs. If someone wants to use real money to buy a pack, do they actually but the gold first and then use that to buy the pack

2) It is stated that gold is used to buy into the forge, does that mean there is no longer a card pack requirement for the forge?

3) Is the crafting/arcane dust system still going to be implemented?

4) When is beta :P

1.) Gold and real money are separate. You can't use real money to buy gold. You can use real money or gold to buy packs.

2.) I don't have an answer for you regarding question 2 at this time, but I will look into it.

3.) You can still disenchant expert cards in your collection to get arcane dust.

4.) Summer!
