A permanent pack on the cash shop?

I've been thinking that since the first arrival of the anniversary packs, this and some other similar packs like lucky coral have been coming and going away, again and again. So, what would change if a pack would be made permanent? more power for the heavy cash shoppers?... or not such a big difference since as I said before, the packs come and go over and over again.

What comes to my mind is that maybe a permanent pack with just tokens of luck, nothing else ( to make it a little more fair for non cash shoppers) or packs with everything but with a lower "great stuff" reward rate (kinda like a lottery) could work... or just make the packs as they are permanent idk... Could this work, or would this be the crash of the pwi economy beyond repair?

    I dont think they will do it.....the 2 weeks of packs are probably the most profitable weeks for PWE, due to player expectations and other things. If they go permanent they will make money off of them for about a month or so, and then it will just fall off and only be bought occasionally. Where as if they come out a week or 2 weeks at a time every once in a while, even if people dont want anything from the packs they still rush to buy them in an attempt to make money.

    The only perma pack id like is the tokens pack. I'm ok with that, it'd help me run my guild alot (~15 ult subs a day with guild TT n gears)

    The packs are great for people who like gaming, wanna be a respectable geared character in the game, and have RL shet to do and cant play 24/7. So its fine that they come and go, it also benefits those who can think ahead and buy gold cheap and use it when packs come out, all the QQ'ers about gold prices have been proven wrong with the 275k gold prices in AH now and the super cheap TT mats available since people have leveled up and TT mats are plentiful.

    But a perma-pack is probably not a good idea, it will level out gold prices eventually and make people less interested in doing Lunar/Nirvana runs etc.. The non-cash-shoppers need people to want to do those runs and the cash-shoppers shouldnt just be able to buy their nirvana gears without ever doing a run.

    Anyways, my two cents.
