Ok im confused i payed $74.99 for the dragonborn pack while it said it was on sale for 25% off. Origonal price was $99.00. When did $74.99 become the regular price?

This is how they treat their customers.
I was blind and trusted what they told us back then. They won't see any more money from me. I do not like to be fooled.
Indeed it is. Hoping mailing them at the time could get me -25% refund or zen for that amount... apparently not. So next time something is on a limited time sale, don't bother. You're better off seeing it in the zen store where you can transfer AD.
I don't think you fully understand what happened. Let me explain, as I saw the events unravel on these forums.
When this pack was first released at the "sale" price, a LOT of people here complained about the "regular" price of $99. And a good number also complained about the sale price. there were LOTS of comments about how this pack was not worth that much, with several people analyzing the value of the contents of the pack across a few different forum threads.
The people at Cryptic saw the dissatisfaction and decided to keep the sale price as the regular price. There was no intent to mislead anyone - they simply responded to feedback on the forums and kept the price lower.
The problem is that this was not formally communicated. it would have been nice to see an apology at least, or some description like I outlined above.
In other words, there was no attempt to mislead you - just no formal communication about the change.

Funny you should mention that--as the ZEN store price has been commensurately adjusted as well.

Which is why it would have been better since:
1) Bonus zen on zen bought if you chose to
2) Partially or fully buy with AD
3) Zen coupon discounts apply, from drops or from a previous coupon event
Only reason I decided to do so was because I wouldn't supposedly get the same rate after.
The only thing that matters is that they promised a rebate which never existed. I know what I call a behavior like that.
Anyway, they lost my trust. I know how I feel about a behavior like that. They could have offered all loyal pre-ordering customers a rebate on the new official price. That would have been a great move that would have been greatly appreciated.
But they did not do that. They decided to totally ignore that matter.
They did however decide not to notify or update us on this and continued to advertise that it was 25% off right until the last minute which is kind of shady.
On the flip side, at least they listened to and responded to the complaints.

I've been looking at the Scourge Booster Pack for a few weeks now...and just got it purely from transferring AD in game...on sale!
I have never purchased this pack, so it has nothing to do with me failing to believe anything. It is not "baseless" conjecture. It is a logical conclusion based on a multitude of game changes I have seen made based on forum discussions.
I am just trying to present another perspective. This comes from 20 years in management - not bragging or saying I know everything, but I do know that misconceptions are frequent when poor communication is involved. And I could even be wrong myself, but I believe I am on the correct path with my assessment.

You realize you're doing the same thing, right? You have nothing to suggest that they DIDN'T keep the price reduced because of the feedback from their customers.
Anyway, pack is priceless everyone should buy it as soon as they create an account.
Pros: bunch of neat account-wide unlocks
Cons: anything with "Dragonborn" in it looks painfully stupid, no mount
I never suggested anything...
The problem is the advertised retail price of $99.00 never became available. It was introduced on sale at $75.00 or 25% off. The sale never ended and became the full retail price. Now its 25% off of $75.00 or $56.00. So here were under the assumption that the pack is going to cost $99.00 thus taking advantage of the preorder sale would be a good idea.
