Unfortunately they have make it clear that they are beholden to their Age system and they have to stick to it. Thus, they need to consider an Age of Rediscovery. An Age where they rediscover the lost pieces of missing sets and they rediscover the means to fix broken aspects of the game. 3 full chapters dedicated to fleshing out all of the sets that have been released but were incomplete. 3 full chapters dedicated to fixing known issues. 3 full chapters dedicated to fixing balance issues WITHIN weapon classes (example: Spears - if there are 2 of them are out of balance from the rest, adjust those to make them inline with the rest but not revamp spears as a whole). This would keep them in line with their dedication to their Ages and also allow them to focus on things that they actually need to. This would also allow them to make items for the Battle Pass that were not themed around ONE culture or ONE theme, but just random things that they wanted to or that they happened to have kicking around that they weren’t able to include previously. The BLB can even include some of the early content at discounted prices for newer players who might not have been around at the start of it or older players who simply missed it but might want to consider it now that it’s back and “on sale”.
Not true actually. For example, in Gems of War, a game I play as well, they have a battle pass system which has a “free side” and a “pay side”. The pay side includes new troops of legendary and mythic level as well as new pets. If you do not pay for that pass that month, you do not get those troops / pets. Seems like what you are saying right? WRONG! In about 6 months time they start to become available in their crafting method in which even if you are 100% free to play you can eventually craft those troops using in game items and never pay a single $. Sure, you gotta wait half a year, maybe 8 months due to rotation, but the fact is that they WILL become available to everyone. So no, not every game is that way. Though I do agree that the vast majority of them are.
They have said they might add items similar to the Battle Bass items to the BLB but with different skins. I do not know if they ever have or not. Well, I think that Arcane Curio thing was one item, but I honestly don’t really pay any attention to the BLB so I am not really one to say how often they have or have not done so.
