This one’s response goes far afield from the topic of the thread.

Confining it to Bazaar and Battle Pass.

This one loathes Battle Passes. Full stop.
Game should not be job. Battle Pass turns game into job. Battle Pass player pays for the privilege of doing drudgery to get the digital goods. Atrocious.
As far as Battle Passes go, the one in this game is probably the best of it’s odious ilk.

The Bazaar is long past time when a catalogue would be utile. The initial (not incorrect) claims that it would look anemic are no longer an issue. But whether it is maintained in this way due to the dread FOMO or just because they don’t have dev time to adjust it is unknown. The rerelease of the still manky Yamatai tea and geisha house set is sorta telling in that regard.

Regarding creating a way to use the premium content when not connected to the Funcom (sometimes) Live Services. This one is was and always has been 100% in favour of finding some way that resembles more the DLC in ensuring off line availability of assets.

Regarding state of play…
That is a different thread or a direct message. Not entirely relevant to this topic, but in short, the only pleasure this one finds in it currently is as a more brutal version of Sims. Blocks and Dolls.
