.....was that there will still be packs on the market at the hype point of crypto in general sale

Perhaps there should be, however pack-selling is an iconic period and since it happens once in 2 to 3 years, there has to be a very careful planning especially towards those who are are the intended customers, new players included. If you're not selling packs when the crypto economy is friendly it will surely have consequences on the amount of packs that can be sold.
Unless the general sales are pushed further, we won't have that scenario where everyone is simply buying because they have enough liquidity to go round.
