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 don't know exactly when that was, but I recently opened 32 packs and got no legendary. Still no dust for me but let's wait and see...
LOL, got a golden unite the murlocs from the championship packs for choosing kolento and still recievedthe dust. Nice!
Golden legendaries doesn't count in the pity timer. Opened a golden lore walker cho at 18th, and at 20th got a Deathwong
Deathwong is my favorote Legendary Monoon
I opened like 15 packs and got no legendaries and maybe 2 or 3 epics but I can't remember. I hope I got bugged and not unlucky. I opened the packs about 2 days ago. Do I qualify?
Nicely done. Probbly i will miss those 2k packs, as usual. Thx to hidden pool, thx Blizzard - relogged 3 times already no dust. My friends got that free 2k and im not. Now i feel scamazzed.
UPDATE: In that rage i opened 6 packs that i got on moment of post - 2 Un'Goro and 4 Classic - got 2 legendaries - Mage's quest and Greenskin. Well, this a little pay-off, at least.
I got a legendary during the bug but where's my dust?
So uh... I opened a legendary and two or three epics after the change and I STILL got the dust. I don't really think I deserve it. :/
They reset the pity Timer by accident when there was a patch few days ago! Think of it this way: you should've gotten 1 more legendary that you would have.
so what if I didnt get bugged...I still got the the dust?......
my friend got 1 golden legend, 2 regular legend from 17 packs and he still got 2k dust. wtf blizz?
Ok, but where is my DK card reveal?
LOVE BLIZZARD
Сonfirm. Just got 2k sweet dust.
Maybe I've opened 35 or something..... Cause I didn't get this :(
I opened up a bunch of packs during the bug period, and I haven't received anything yet... Are they still giving out the 2000 dust?
