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 3, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)This only applies IF you were meant to get a Legendary in this period, which means u didn't!
It's been confirmed that Blizzard is able to track individual packs by rarities!

Posted Aug 4, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)The Pity Timer is 40 packs for a legendary and 10 packs for an epic. Maybe the people who opened 15 packs were already on a dry spell for 30 packs. So their pity timer should've given them a legendary within those 15 packs but it didn't. This means they are eligible for the dust.

Posted Aug 3, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)I opened a few packs during the bug stuff, if I don't get the dust I'll be salty af really it's a nice amount of dust to have to craft more cards on KotFT, even if it's just a legendary and an epic or 5 epics it's still preeeeetty good. I'mstill wating here, don't rekt me on this one blizzard :'(

Posted Aug 3, 2017 (Quest Rogue Nerf)They can track rarities via specific pack openings. It has been demonstrated in HS China when they had to rollback the servers due to some game-breaking server crashes
