    BigHugger posted a message on 100 Packs, low legendary rate?
    Quote from DaylarFarshot >>

    Well met!

    Normally for me I typically have good luck on day 1 of expansions when opening packs and getting multiple legendaries but not so much this time around.

    100 Packs total, Going in hearthstone packs left order:

    90 = Keleseth

    69 = Garrosh

    64 = Bolvar (Golden)

    33 = Thrall

    And that was it.  Epics weren't kind either.  Granted I managed to get 21 epics but 3 were a triplicate and 8 others were duplicates resulting in only 15 unique epics.

    Does the legendary pull sound right with the change in the pity timer?  I thought it was 1 in every 10 packs but I'm recalling something about that being China only?

    The chance of finding a legendary in a pack has always been approximately 1 in 20, with a "Pity Timer" that guarantees at least one after 39 packs without (see https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Card_pack_statistics#Rarity_distribution). There are no known differences between regions. The only change since Frozen Throne is that players are now also guaranteed at least one in the FIRST 10 packs of any expansion; after that the regular pity timer kicks in again.
    You are now slightly under average (1 in 25), but your pity timer is already at 32 so you're guaranteed another one after at most 8 more packs - and at that time you'll be a bit closer to the overall average. (Still below, but not by much - just statistical variance at work).

    BigHugger posted a message on Developer Insights: Live Stream Q&A – Year of the Mammoth – February 21st

    I've heard at least one pro streamer (Kripp) suggest that players who do not yet have the cards that will move to the Hall of Fame should now craft them (preferably golden), get the full dust refund when the season rolls over, and then either kee the effectively free card or disenchant it for even more dust.

    That makes sense and is very enticing for my F2P account. But before I sink my dust in this, I would like to receive official confirmation that this is fair use of the game mechanic. It it is seen as abusing a mechanic to gain an unfair advantage and potentially even punished, I will not do so.

    Can we get official confirmation from Blizzard as to whether this is allowed or not?

    Thanks!
