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!

i didnt even know about any pity timer bug...and i didnt even buy any packs - just free packs through brawl and arena...but i was greeted with 2k dust today nice!! Blizzard has really been upping its game lately and im gonna show some love back for good customer service
Well good for you :D , I agree that Blizzard is doing things pretty damn good lately, but in the Comunications Department, what the heck? They should post something official or spreading the word (Aside from the e-mails that people is getting if they were affected).
The anxiety is killing me inside :c
If you were affected by the bug, you would've gotten this email:
Got my dust! I received an email about it.
I honestly didn't think I'd be affected. I haven't bought any mass amounts of packs in a while since I've been saving for KotFT, so I wasn't paying attention or counting the cards from my odd free pack, and I definitely got a legendary in my first 10 GvG packs the other day... And yet, I logged in to find 2000 dust waiting for me. I'm not complaining at all, just immensely surprised.
WHERE'S MY DUST REEEEE
Did you get an email from Blizzard? If not, then you were not affected by the bug. The dust is only going to those who were affected like me.
still waiting for my dust, opened some packs during the reset period.
Did you get an email from Blizzard. If not, then you will not get dust as you were not affected by the bug. The dust is only going to those who should have gotten a legendary and an epic, hence why it's 2000 dust.
i bought like 50 packs so i got screwed :/
I opened and didnt get any legendaries in my ten packs and i still dont have any dust :(
I had opened just ten ungoro packs, not to mention the 20 standard packs I had opened looking for legendaries, i got my legendary out of the standard but didnt want to waste anymore money on ungoro packs :p
Got mine 2k Dust. Thanks Blizzard!
