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!

"You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!"
Today when i saw 2k dust added, i thought THAT was actually a bug. Got to Hearthpwn and noticed this thread. What a nice start of the day! Thanks a lot blizz!
Did not receive an email but got the 2000 gold on my EU account. And here I thought I was just unlucky with pack openings.
Appreciative of the compensatory gift; thank you!
Although, knowing that I was affected by the bug makes me wonder...what was I supposed to get, you know? What would I have gotten had everything worked out alright? Probably The Boogeymonster lol >_>
got nothing yet, gonna sleep now, i hope they're still working on it and tomorrow when i wake up the fairy BB had lefft 2k dust under my pillow. ಠ_ಠ

I didn't seem to get mine right away, so maybe they're doing a roll-out as opposed to an all-at-once kind of deal. You never know! Sleep well, and dream of Legendaries!
Bought 40 packs at 11 july,if only i fucking know that if i will open packs at 20+ july i will get a fucking 2000 free dust,what a fucking stupid shit.And somebody just opened two packs and get 2k free dust.WHAT AN UNJUSTICE FUCKING SHIT.Dont even want to play now
SHE DID NOT!

Is there a pitty timer to get 2000 arcane dust,because i dont get.
Opened 10 Old Gods packs and no legendary but still didn't get any dust. :/
I don't think this compensation has anything to do with the recent changes to the pack, where sadly some people like you didn't get the 1 leg in 10 packs thingt. A week ago, there was an actual, separate problem for some people regarding pity timer.
there was a bug? I didn't even realise as I opened two legendaries between now and after the patch. Oh well I will take it. Nice to see Blizzard makes up for their mistakes.
I have been opening card packs and just assumed I was really unlucky. Thanks, Blizzard!
2000 Dust? I'll take it.
Thanks Blizzard :p
Wow, so it wasn't just bad luck opening packs, got the 2000 dust,which was super nice, no e-mail though :)
