Ive been playing this game for almost 4 years, admittedly I haven’t had the same account for all that time. (I’ve had my main one for about 2 years now) but i’ve never gotten a golden legendary. I have a friend who’s been playing for about a year and has opened 4, how unlucky am I?

Playing 3 years, bought countless packs (like 1300€ worth of packs) and I got only 9.

Hobbart Grapplehammer, Captain Greenskin, Swamp King Dread, Anomalus, Malhorne, Blingtron 3000, Da Undatakah, Lord Godfrey, The Skeleton Knight. 

Plus from pre-orders Chef Nomi, Flobbidinus Floop and Flark's Boom-zooka.

Its OK man, they are just flashy, nothing more.

 That's exactly the reason, what makes the pre-orders so juicy for me. That guaranteed golden legendary man.

I've gotten a handful in my 4 years. I remember disenchanting a golden Gruul. Currently have golden Lady in White, Shudderwock and the Soularium. Probably just leave these alone tbh..

Also, I have never pre-ordered. 

My very first golden legendary, was the most useless card ever printed: Duskfallen Aviana. Needless to say I was pretty angry, now I have a good laugh about it, still in my collection :)

I only remember getting three: Sylvanas Windrunner, Deathstalker Rexxar, and Duskfallen Aviana. Of those three, only Aviana was disenchanted. I forget what I used her for, but I'm sure it was something important.

According to https://pitytracker.com statistics: Legendaries per 1000 packs: 3.8 

I got 3 in my first 1000 packs, so my luck is a bit below the average but it looks right

Playing since open beta and i just got my first golden legendary a few days ago. Archivist Elysiana

Why are my cards not showing?

I've been playing since November and I've opened 6 golden legendaries. Hakkar, the Soulflayer, The Storm Bringer, Gral, the Shark, Harbinger Celestia, Chef Nomi, and Nozari.

I think I accidentally ate a leprechaun or something.

The big question is if there is a pity-tracker for them. I can't find anything conclusive, but I feel pretty certain there is one in the 310-450 range for packs of the same type. Maybe there is some crossover with a general golden card pity timer??

Feels like shit, I know. I got my first one after 3 years, my sweet Leeroy Jenkins. Now I get one every 1 or 2 expansions. Awaken the Makers, Shadowreaper Anduin, Ozruk, Illidan Stormrage, even Lord Jaraxxus in the first golden pack that came out. Shirvallah, the Tiger was my last one. Randomness can be a bitch, but at the end of the day a golden legendary is just an esthetic thing, and most legendaries don't see real play

 That is an interesting question, I don't think there is but you never know.  Also I hear that the average is 1 out of every 230 packs so if there was a pity timer your numbers seem right.

I got 4 in 1,5 year. I mostly just dust them so I can craft a legendary I actually need. 

Not sure how many I've gotten, but they are usually useless legendary cards when I get them in golden.  So I DE them and craft one I want.  I think I have two currently: Da Undatakah and Swampqueen Hagatha.  I may get rid of Swampqueen as I don't actually use her much, but I have a ton of fun using Undatakah in an Immortal Paladin build.

I went a year without getting any, then I got two in three rastakhan packs. Seems pretty random to me.

It's approximately 1 in every 240 packs.

with my luck one out of million I would say.

 Think someone was saying it was about 500 awhile back, but the problem is it’s something really hard to actually check. It’s a large number of packs, and most people wouldn’t reach it, as they switch to buying packs from the newer expansions way before they’d reach it.
