No. Full stop. This is the crux.
What if this one didn’t feel like playing the game for a few months? Or if this one’s free time was limited due to realities of this one’s profession and obligations? But this one wants the BP items…
This is an expectation on this one’s time. The cost is not just the CC, but also the time that must be invested. The mandate on participation, especially it is a limited time window, is the heart of the matter.
Otherwise, it is the full buy rate which is the actual cost of the BP to have, in full, at that moment.
Which is what the DLCs were, a transaction to have in full at that moment.

We look at expectations upon free time differently.
Which is fine.
You are looking at the game as perpetually entertaining regardless.
This one is fixated upon the mandates upon this one’s time.

You are correct for you. Not implying otherwise.
But your viewpoint is not universal.

That having been said, and it appears we are falling in to a circling posture on this…
This one does not see this fundamental difference in perspective aligning on this matter.
Are you content to agree to disagree?
