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!
Hearthstone Team
If those packs were from one set and you didnt get a single Legendary then yes, you were affected by bug and you should and most possibly will get dust.
Yes, they where all from Un`goro, as i said 52 packs by cash (36 left after 1 leg.), 4 from Kolento and others with gold. Where 43 before the update for no leg. duplicates and after that i open another 10 before i got legendary, making it 53 packs total. I don`t envy anyone who got the dust, but i can read people saying they didn`t play the game for month or two, or open like 10-15 packs total of un`goro and got the dust, while people who open 40+ during June without leg. didn`t get that dust yet, pretty unfair imho...
Well it is possible to be compensated even if you opened only 10 packs and you didn't get epic card which is too part of pity timer. If it is as you said I believe, that you will get the dust soon.
I got the dust, but no email. I'm not complaining.
I finally got my mail now, Maybe their email sending service was slow?
'Blizzard didn't give me 2k dust for my bad RNG! I want them to give me everything! BabyRage' -50% of this comment section.
'I don't know what's going on but I just got 2k dust 4Head' -50% of this comment section.
Can someone explain me on normal language what does it mean? What is that timer?
i didn't get my reward... i have friends that bought like 30 packs and they found 3 or 4 legendaries.. i bought 26 packs and i didn't find any legendary cards.. and off course i didn't get the 2k dust reward... i fell a little bit angry at the moment..
Didn't even use pity timer bug, got it. LUL
Just send 2k dust to everyone, that won't hurt you.
Pity timer is 40 packs, not 20, so Blizzard is right not to award you any dust. But go ahead and be jealous and complain anyway!
Be jealous? Really? He got every right to be complain, all other people that have 10k dust craft broken tier 1 decks and other few players can't enjoy the game whole because they didn't have gold and dust. You are a hypocrite. And for the record pity timer is 20 packs now, that's why people got so many legendary cards
actually pity timer is not just "at 40 pack you gonna get legendary" protection
also you got more chance to get a legendary at pack 20 compared to your first pack... odds are growing whenever you open a pack thats why finding 2 legendary from a single pack is so rare (on perfect world you should see it every like 80 pack or someting but it doesnt happen because finding 2 leg in a row got bvery few chance to happen)
Didn't get the email but got 2k dust anyway. And I barely play this game for like last 6 months
Nobody is getting jack shit. Players who did open packs received one less legendary and one less epic setting them 2000 dust lower than they should have been while your accounts collection still checks out. The compensation doesnt give people more dust it gives them what theyre missing.
Why is this not, anyone who opened any packs during the bug gets the compensation? Since technically we were all affected no matter what we opened. This is some bullshit.
Oh boo I opened one pack and didnt get a legendary while others opened like 60 and didnt get any I totally deserve what the others deserve
