Professions Master Pack Bugged

Maybe I have the worst luck in the world, but I have opened well over 500 Professions Master Packs without a single Forgehammer. I also notice that there are LESS forgehammers on the AH than there were on Thursday, before the event started. This seems to indicate that they aren't dropping at all, since the packs were presumably opened in droves for the event.

I also notice you do NOT get double resources from these, despite this being a double profession weekend. All in all, very disappointing.

If the packs are bugged, please let me know how you will fix this. I'm about 550 packs in with about 300 more to go, if I don't get even one hammer, I suggest that is solid evidence of a bug.

If anyone got one, please respond.

    Or it means that people are holding onto them because 2x RP is in two weeks and the price is rising.

    Ok, well the lack of Forgehammers on the AH was secondary evidence. The primary evidence that these might be bugged was the fact that I opened close to 900 of these packs without a single Forgehammer drop. Did anyone on the PS4 get a Forgehammer from these packs? I have no idea what the "drop rate" is, but if we assume it is around 1/250, then the probability of me not getting one in 900 packs is less than 3%.

    Maybe they should publish the statistical drop rates for items... I don't see how it hurts, and it lets the community identify an error (or at least guess at one using statistics) before it becomes a big issue (I'm looking at you, Simril Gift Box). While I accept that it is completely possible that I opened 900 unbugged packs without a Forgehammer, if it is confirmed that the pack is working, then I'm going back to my usual paradigm of just selling the packs without opening anything, because at 1/1000 (or whatever the chance is), it might as well be 0 and you're way better off just selling off the packs and buying the thing you actually want from whatever schmoe happened to actually get it.
