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

Posted Aug 6, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Can't see this actually affecting too many people... Most, I assume, are hoarding gold/dust for the expansion.

Posted Aug 4, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)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.

Posted Aug 4, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)No dust, so I guess getting one Legendary out of 75 Un'Goro packs doesn't qualify me.

Posted Aug 4, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)No it doesn't. If you had more than 40 packs without a legendary it qualifies you.

Posted Aug 5, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Write a ticket then. This isn't an official Blizzard site. You can complain but you won't get any help.

Posted Aug 4, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)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.

Posted Aug 4, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)Anyone who got the 2000 dust later? can we expect it to come in waves or is it over and we just got scammed?
