I had interpreted the veterans pack thing as also a long-term promise: If you have 5 x-wings already, you may not be keen on buying a new model a year or two down the road just to get the cards that come with it. The veteran pack is a way out: you just buy the card pack and you have everything except the new x-wing.

This all goes along with the "no more chasing cards" idea. You shouldn't have to buy all 3 factions to get the cards you need for the single faction you love, for example.

So I figured the Veterans Packs were a positive thing, not a cynical move to milk us further.
