Every time I buy one of these bundles I feel like I barely get anything for my money.
For $112 I got 4 legendaries in my normal packs which is below average ( on average with normal rng you would expect 5 legendaries). I also only got 1 golden legendary in my 10 golden packs, which was on the very last pack so it was hitting the pity timer. My friends all constantly open 7 or more legendaries in their bundles with multiple golden and signature legendaries each.
This has happened to me before in Titans and caused me to stop pre ordering expansion bundles. I liked the theme of this expansion so I decided to purchase a bundle again, only to feel ripped off once again.
Edit: It was 3 legendaries in 91 packs (3% drop rate as opposed to the average being 5%) since I opened 1 in my very first pack, despite being 4 in 92 packs total.
So for $112 I am missing 19 Legendaries (17 if I include the Exodar and Archimonde from buying the reward track, which is $25).

Somewhere out in the world right now theres a dude pulling 10+ legendary cards with the same packs.
RNG at its best.

I never had a problem with those packs. There’s a trick. I never buy them.

How is Hearthstone quite light on predatory practices if for $112 I opened only 4 legendaries? An expansion has 26 legendaries in it. That would mean for the value I got in 92 packs and since I am missing 19 because of the 3 guaranteed ones I got on top of the 4 I opened-- I would have to spend around $250 more to obtain the rest of the legendaries with my current RNG and the 3 guaranteed ones in each bundle if we could purchase multiple of the same bundles.
Edit: It seems as though both of our replies have been deleted by staff, so this conversation doesn’t make sense anymore to anyone reading.

2 are guaranteed from buying the mega bundle and you get 1 guaranteed in the 10 golden packs. So in total I opened 4 only which is below average yes. Plus you open 1 in the first 10 packs of the regular packs guaranteed and I opened 1 in my very first pack, so i opened 3 in 91 packs. So it is bad actually.
91/3=30

U can’t open 4.6 of something that comes in whole numbers so you round it to 5.

If you did the same thing 5 times it’d probably average to 4.6

that is called an optimistic view, I look at a 4.6 and say I will open 4 if I’m lucky

When compared with the other gachas in the market obviously.
They have been adding some of the bs thats common place everywere else over the years, with the battlepass and runestones but if you think Hearthstone is at the head of the spear in predatory pratices you must have never played any other gacha before.

Yes but you cannot open .6 of a card. So you round this number to 1.

That’s like saying that The Lich King isn’t as evil as Gul’dan. It’s still predatory IMHO.

I used to play(F2P… didn’t last long as I quickly realized you can’t keep up) a gacha that every month they ran 3 events with 3 new characters each and to guarantee pull 1(pity timer) was $100

100 seems way to low for whats common place this days.
Try something like 600 when you miss the 50/50 and go to pity.
Going to say this again those that only play Hearthstone have no idea how bad every other game with a gacha system is this days.
No thats like saying the starting Boar mobs are not as bad as the Old Gods in WOW.
Because thats how far apart Hearthstone is from the competition in terms of predatory pratices.

No, you don’t.
You can’t round something like that.
You simply know that 4 and 5 are pretty common answers, and you hope your pull is 5 intead of four, but both are pretty typical. You can’t just round up and think you’re screwed over if you don’t hit that number.
You could have actually pulled only three or could have pulled much higher. It’s rng, and you didn’t have very good this time.
The entire issue here is your pulls didn’t meet your expectations despite being completely in the normal range.
If you want to talk about legendary card are too hard to get, I will agree with you. But your pack opening was fine.

you cant get .6 of a card(you can get dust from duplicates though)
either you get it, or you dont
so its 4 or its 5 but never 4.6

Since I opened 1 legendary in my very first pack thus cancelling the 10 pack initial pity timer, I then opened 3 in 91 packs, which is well below average, not slightly below. So statistically yes I am valid saying I got screwed over, it is not as simple as saying I got slightly below the typical in 92 packs considering 3 in 91 is 3% drop rate as opposed to the average being 5%.
