Does anyone know, when the winner and runner-ups for the Quest for Packs event will be selected? Contest was said to last untill 01:00 CET Feb 15th, and this deadline passed already.
"...Contest Rules. Sponsor shall choose the winners from all entrants who have submitted an entry prior to the Deadline. The decision of Sponsor is final. Prizewinners will be notified by e-mail within seven (7) days thereafter. To claim a prize, winners should follow the instructions contained in their notification..."
You do understand, that not everyone will get those packs, right?
I can't remember the exact number of players registered in the hs player base - around 70 million - but a small percentage of them will actually get rewarded. And what makes you think, that you will be part of that group? I mean - I also want to get some free packs, but I don't feed vain hopes.
Grand Prize (1 winner) 1/70,000,000
3000 Hearthstone Packs
The Lich King's Helmet
Hearthstone Apparel Gift Set (T-shirt, cap, and pin)
So if you do the math, approximately 51,001 players will get rewarded, which leaves us with the following number: 0.00072858571, which is 0.072858571% of all the player base. And once again, that's only the percentage of the people, which will actually get rewarded in general. The numbers are even smaller, when I try to split the winners into three sub-groups.
Yes, there are variables, the responsible people for this contest will take into consideration all the entries, not the registered users in general, and yes, not everyone will have the same number of entries as others do (there are some bots accounts, suspended, alts or abandoned ones or people like myself, who couldn't manage to complete their quests before the deadline; not all countries may participate etc etc), but things doesn't change that much imho.

Why do I have to quote myself? Can't people read until the end?
No argue with that. I'm even sure, that some users will enjoy watching 3000 packs being opened, if the winner of the grand prize uploads a video.
Personally for myself I will be more than happy to get 3 free packs. If not: 1) I save my gold and dust for the next expansion; 2) I personally think, that blizz did a wonderful job with the recent packs giveaway events. It's nice to get some love once in a while, so I don't feel greedy at all.
Doesn't mention any results. Just asks what the results are... Sigh.
How in the world you could think I would know results of internal Blizzard selection process? I named this thread with maximum closeness to the event in question, and that was correct.
Ahm, I personally think, that most of us are old (mature) enough to realise the reality of things. It's not my problem, if someone lives in a dream world, where they believe, that they are the ones destined to win the lottery, and then someone bursts their bubble.
Inb4 I get the mockery towards the sensitive (the young) part of the player base in your post [and maybe also towards OP], but the main purpose of my post was not to send them away with a flea in their ear, but just to clear things up. If someone actually gets sad because of this, I won't feel guilty about it. But like I said, I do believe, that most of us don't have such high expectations of being part of the lucky group. I won't deny, that some do hope more than others, that they will be blessed with good luck and be announced as the winners of this contest, but hoping is a one thing and being naive is another.
Personally, I'm just excited to see if I win anything at all. My absolute favourite part of Hearthstone is opening packs! I think they nailed it with all the different animations for each expansion.
I'm sure everyone else does what I do; hovers apprehensively over the 5 cards - see a purple or yellow glow, and you go a bit gooey inside. Slowly but surely you flip the cards in order of rarity...only one thing better than a golden glow card with a, "Woaahhh...Lengendary" tagline, and that's a "Woah...GOOOOOOLDEN LEGENDARRRRRYYYYYY!!!" tagline!
Whoever wins the 3000 packs is in for a right treat! I sure hope it's someone who streams. I don't stream, but I sure would stream that on Youtube for anyone like me who'd be interested in watching it...whether they could stand to hear me squealing like a little girl everytime I open something from an Epic upwards though is another thing! lol.
I'd be over the moon to win a mammoth pack - I bought one the day they released, but unfortunately we're limited to one per customer, so winning one is going to be the only way of repeating the experience.
If I was one of the ones to receive 3 free packs I'd be pleased with that too.
If I don't win anything I'd be a bit gutted, but made up for those of you here who did!
I'm not expecting the results to be announced tomorrow though...I backed Tom for the championships, and I had to wait a while for my prize of 6 packs - a couple of weeks afterwards I think it was? Blizzard do always get around to it though, so I'd urge anybody who thinks it's been/going to be a scam just to have a little more patience.
In the meantime, we can always have fun playing with cards we already own but very rarely use. That's like getting new cards anyway :)
Hello fellow Hearthstoners!
Does anyone know, when the winner and runner-ups for the Quest for Packs event will be selected? Contest was said to last untill 01:00 CET Feb 15th, and this deadline passed already.
I want to get my packs asap :)
No brain - no pain.
Do you even imagine how long it takes a single Gnomish Homing Chicken to carry 3000 packs?
So expect them Soon™ 2020.
Auto squelch. That's all I'm asking for.
No brain - no pain.
sorry... found it (on official blog page)...

So, did anyone get the e-mail with winning announcement? If so, how many packs did you win? I haven't got any e-maill until now :(

There is NOT 70 million active players !
No brain - no pain.
somebody who rarely plays this game will end up with the grand prize
One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.
