Yeah I saw it as well, but the transaction on android shows you are purchasing the 2 pack from it.

I can confirm you definitely get 7 packs though, I just got 35 packs for under a tenner and am opening them as we speak.
Man of Honour
I'm online and 7 packs is £6.99
Soldato
Are you on an android tablet?
Man of Honour
Nah, PC

It must be a glitch specifically with the android version, I just spent another £8, I figure it's worth it for the dust considering the high proportion of golds I'm getting.

I give you fair warning that Blizzard are known for taking people to task for what the consider 'exploiting' mistakes. So I think its worth thinking about it if you do more.
Soldato
I am done, but the pricing clearly says £1.99 for 7 decks, its not like the game says £6.99 but its charging £1.99.
I have a screen grab to support that too.

I agree with you that its their mess up, heres hoping they understand that and accept it considering how poor the service is tonight.
Man of Honour
EU down for maintenance for 1 hour to fix the issues. Awesome...
Soldato
I'd opened about 30 packs by the time the servers were taken down, one legendary, but tonnes of golds.
Soldato
Wow, 63 packs and one legendary, that's pretty weak.
Ah well, at least they were cheap!

If the 7 pack is £1.99 on Android and £2.29 on iOS I can see a bit of a crap storm of lost money once this hits Reddit and Twitter as I still haven't seen it on there.
Scratch that its now flooding Reddit, looks like the could go Pete Tong big style. If I remember right they have to submit app changes to the OS holders for their apps to change in game charges, I'm guessing someone in blizzard is going to loss their job for this one.

I've bought about 60 packs for 20 when it would usually cost 47
I want to buy more but I do t want to abuse too much in case they ban

I'm guessing that they wont Perma Ban anyone for this, the shop does clearly advertise the purchase of 7 packs for £1.99.
I do wonder if they might try to charge people the correct value now that we are aware, if that happens I would return them as a contract of sale has been already completed.
I have paid for 10 packs of 7, 5 through cash I had left in my wallet after buying a 15 pack at £13.99 and 5 more from my bank card. I have yet to open the last set of 5 packs of 7.
I think its a wait and see now, I imagine Blizzard sales department are going a bit mad about this. But also I think the EU launch has been a disaster so they may just chock this one up lessons to learn, who knows its going to be an interesting 24-48 hours none the less.
