Why are we using Hearthcards mockups, while HearthPwn is using realistic card images?
I'm not saying this is an issue. I'm simply just wondering why this is the case.
To demonstrate what I mean, let's look at the reveal threads for the recently revealed, Anka, the Buried.

The image we're using is on the left which is a mockup made on Hearthcards, whereas the image HearthPwn is using is on the right which is a certified picture of the real card, presumably found on the Saviors of Uldum website. You can tell they are different by the font used for the name of the card, and the way some of the shading looks.
So my question is that if HearthPwn is using images of the real cards for most of their cards during this reveal season, why are we not doing the same thing? It's not an issue, I'm just wondering why it's like this.

Simply put, we don't have elements of the site designed with the "official" images in mind without resizing them - an extra step in the process, plus, we're just going to generate them all via the client anyway when the patch drops so as long as our placeholder images are "great enough", we're happy. Though I do know we're missing set icons on our currently generated cards, it is being looked into so we're fixed for the new set.
Knowing their plans with the card gallery though, it's likely we switch over to it for the next reveal period and I've already made some progression with it during the late night card reveals where you get 50 minutes between cards to work on stuff. With that said, they're not always on time with updating it though so Hearthcards is always going to be the go to until we have our own manual card rendering system in place.
