I think the bigger takeaway I'm hoping people get from my point is that the conversion rate between packs and points is not always 1:1. For some people, it may be, for others, it may be that 3k points are just as good as 5 packs as in the example above, and for others like myself I'd go even lower. I'd gladly take 2k points over 5 packs.

The underlying issue is that 5k points can always be converted into 5 packs, but 5 packs cannot be consistently converted into any set amount of points. We're guaranteed at least 50 (5 irons, 1 bronze, all at quicksell values), and the upper limit is theoretically boundless, limited only by prospective buyers in the AH. But without a set conversion rate from packs to points, every individual will have an acceptable rate of conversion in their mind for value comparisons between the two.
