Blizzard: "Journey to Un'Goro Card Distribution is Working Properly"
In a statement issued on the Battle.net forums by Daxxarri, Blizzard has addressed the recent community concerns regarding card distribution and has clarified that card distribution is working properly.
Quote from BlizzardWe have seen a number of posts from our community today regarding Journey to Un'Goro packs and the possibility that they might be distributing an abnormally high amount of duplicate cards. We want to assure everyone that we have looked into this concern and have found that Journey to Un'Goro card distribution is working properly, both at a per card and per rarity basis, and is consistent with previous Hearthstone releases.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We really do appreciate all the feedback, even when related to possible bugs or concerns around the game.
You realize you get a free 1600 dust for your ragnaros, right...
They can keep their dust, I just want my rag back.
You get 1600 dust back, but the kid might have dusted a lot of his collection to gather the dust he needed to craft Rag. He probably figured it was worth the investment because Blizzard told him it would not be rotated out. The 1600 dust is not fair compensation in his case, (which is likely a similar situation for many).
Thanks, it's good to know.
Then play wild. Standard isn't the be all end all
I opened 60 packs and 5 legendary cards. Seems to work for me. it is random, statistically some people will get the shaft. I think its the vocal minority, rather than the majority of players, that had bad luck.

75 pack open for one legendairy que...st
Um, thats not what some players were complaining about?
People went paranoid about the amount of duplicates they got, not about pity timer. You seem to have low-rolled the pity timer 2 times in a row which, I know, sucks and I would like to see this reduced a bit but, hey, at least you have another legendarie guaranteed in 5 packs...
I got the priest legendary "double your heal and damage effects" 2x in golden and 3x in normal... but i never got a Deathwing (also missing the shaman alaakir.. or how he is called)
In 7 packs (because I didn't preorder), me getting 4 Stormwatchers within 3 packs, and one pack with 2 Giant Mastodons, 2 Ultrasaurs, and a random epic is working as normal.
Um... What?
Actually I happened to watch someone with 70 packs right after. They got 3 of the same legendary. Swamp King Dred
Whatever pack change they did it doesn't look right to me.
Working fine the community ramblings are for two reasons.
1) The previous bug with MSG.
2) First time so many legendaries are essential to build a deck around, so people want them desperately thus focusing on their bad luck more than usual.
For me it's consistent with all previous expansions and a bit better than MSG.
> Got 8 unique legendaries (2 of them Quests) in 122 Packs
> 1 every 15 pack\ on average.
> Got 3 of them in the last 5 packs.
packs from Elise don't count bro
yeah i got 208 packs with about 4 duplicate legendaries
And don't forget... we do this 3x a year now because we don't get the PvE stuff anymore, where you pay 700gold for a wing and get 1-2 legendaries for it. They could add more cards per wing.. but why do what if you can make people pay more?
Some might dislike it... but i would prefer to pay 30-50$ (or gold) for a MASSIVE PvE AddOn and get all cards this way over getting an average of 2 legendaries for 45€. Srsly.. we pay a full price for a game and the "if lucky average" is 2 legendaries out of more than 20... not even counting doubles that you have to dust.
I stopped to buy because last time i got myself 40 packs (i wanted to finish my collection) i got almost only doubles and ended up with about 1800 dust for my money... 45€ for ONE legendary that i could craft. This system is made to make you bleed, while streamers open 300-1000 packs.
166 packs= 6 legandaries, 2 duplicate legendaries,massive multiple duplicates of epics and rares and commons. still have not dischanted them if you need proof. I also made a video as well. I don't want to have to buy 400 packs to 600 packs more just to complete this set. Was a little disappointed at the ratios on this one guys....
