I don't know if there is a bug or they changed the drop rate, but when I was watching a stream multiple people in chat said they were getting a lot of legendaries from card packs. One said he got 7 in 15 packs and a couple of goldens. I wanted to test it out and bought 1 pack. In that 1 pack I got a legendary. Try for yourself and tell if you got anything good.
It's the same RNG. I'm certain of it. I've bought and earned many packs, including bundles of 40. I've usually pulled three Legendaries from a batch of 40, but I have pulled 0-1 out of 40 packs as well, to my great disappointment.
Of course you'll find people who have experienced freakish good luck. This has nothing to do with their identity or purchasing habits. Hell, someone on this forum pulled several competitive Legendaries from a single pack.
I pulled my second Ysera from a gold-earned pack today. It was entirely random.

Exactly. It's just much more likely to see people reporting dramatic pull rates, whether they're incredibly good or hilariously awful, like an all-Wisp pack topped off by an Angry Chicken.
It's like Facebook. People only broadcast the best or worst happenings in order to cultivate the impression of having a more interesting time of things.
I haven't gotten a legendary in months. From 1 pack I got one during the time people are saying legendaries are dropping from the sky. Coincidence, I think not!
once i bought 120 packs by real money and only got 4 legendaries
is this normal ?
No, even by the stated probability, that is very bad. My condolences. I've pulled one in 40 before. It's horrible.
But if you got lots of goldens, that might make up for your bad Legendary pull rate. Goldens are often rarer than Legendaries, even if they're not as universally desirable.
Someone at Blizz (OP?!) is a marketing genius. Suggest on a few forums around zeh interwebs that there is a legendary bug and force players to buy 100s of packs, if for no other reason than to disprove the "bug" for themselves but hopefully to get mad lootz. Meanwhile, money flows like the Nile into the corporate bank accounts.
Well played Blizz/OP. Well played.

It's exactly the same as it always has been and always will be. Observer bias is observer bias, and RNG is RNG.

I think you want to have a bigger sample size than just the opening of 1 pack...
opened 3 packs between monday and wednesday and got 2 legends (mukla and geddon), probably just RNG but im not complaining lol

Sadly, it's not the case for me... I've been doing arena all week, and the best I've gotten is a golden rare. Usually it's just 40 dust.
you gotta be kidding me
once i bought 120 packs by real money and only got 4 legendaries
is this normal ?
I went to the store and bought a pack after reading this thread.
I got Sylvanas Windrunner out of it.
Spooky.
Edit: Bought 2 more packs. Second one had Golden Illidan Stormrage and a golden Abusive Sergeant. Not trolling.
Edit 2: Bought 10 more packs for teh lulz. Standard packs. Oh well.
Heck yeah! I just opened one pack after reading this thread and pulled SIX LEGENDARIES!!! Thank you soo much op.
Wowowow. Nice one buddy! I opened eleven packs and only got 3 legends just now >.< you're luck is so good! I'm jelly!

Indeed. I opened one .. four whites and a blue. All of them I already had doubles of.
I take back what I said, just bought a deck from the store and got Al'Akir in my first deck. Very nice find! :D
WTF just pulled a Golden Cenarius! :D
