Get 2000 Arcane Dust? Blizzard Makes Up for Pity Timer Bug
Just over a week ago, Blizzard announced that there was an issue which led to some players getting one fewer Epic or Legendary card than they should have from packs. If you were hurt by this bug, you have been sent an email letting you know and 2000 dust has been credited to your account which will let you craft a Legendary card and an Epic card!
No idea what you should craft? You should save it for the upcoming Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion and either spend it on something that looks cool or use it a few days into it once we have a good idea what Legendaries are going to be solid.
No official post has yet been made on the resolution, and it's possible that dust hasn't been finished being distributed. We expect an official response shortly.

Quote from BlizzardGreetings,
Patch 8.4 for Hearthstone introduced new infrastructure to prepare for the recently announced improvements to card drop rates. As a side effect of this change, a small number of players who opened packs after the patch received one fewer Legendary or Epic card than they would have otherwise. We have identified you as one of those players, and we've given you 2000 Arcane Dust to use however you want!
Thank you for your continued support, and we'll see you at the Inn!

GG, now I can complete my Big Druid & Big Priest decks :D
Can't see this actually affecting too many people... Most, I assume, are hoarding gold/dust for the expansion.
So if I haven't played for a month, did my pity timer got fixed? I have opened 40 packs now in this month and got no legendarys. Let me know what you think.
that is only for the day of the expansion
probabily life hate you, cospiration or something like that
THX THX THX
no legendary in 3 months was a hard time.
stupid move from blizz
Well, I am not sure about epics, but you should get legendary in max. 40 packs of certain expansion, while you opened only 10. I am not sure if you should get dust for opening 10 packs of single expansion.
OMG opened over 20 packs in this site and no get legendary... and all cards i found have not been included in my hearthstone account collection!!11!!1!!!!1!1
No dust, so I guess getting one Legendary out of 75 Un'Goro packs doesn't qualify me.
No it doesn't. If you had more than 40 packs without a legendary it qualifies you.
That's my point, I did. I went close to 60.
Write a ticket then. This isn't an official Blizzard site. You can complain but you won't get any help.
dafuq, i got 40 dust for more than month, where is dust, benbrodsky???/
At the beginning of Un'goro, I opened around 30 packs and some more later without any legendaries. I'm pretty sure that I hit the number 40 and more without getting any.
Not that I care for the dust (even though it's welcome), but I just want to understand, does the pity timer for legendaries reset after you got an epic ? Because that could explain why I didn't received anything.
Nope, the separate pity timer for epics does!
Rip.
You guys should really put out a guide on this newspost how the Pity Timer works and that all packs are affected by it. So many angry ppl who are angry for stupid reasons.
Anyone who got the 2000 dust later? can we expect it to come in waves or is it over and we just got scammed?
we= people who bought 40 ungoro packs without a legendary during the pity timer bug period
