As someone who comes back to the game ever few years and buys the DLCs… well now there’s nothing to buy because the battle passes are gone (alongside any of the items I might have wanted from them). I’m sure their number crunchers know what they’re doing by perma removing them, but they’re sure losing money from someone who actually bought their previous DLCs. I tttoo wanted some of the BP pets, but RiP me I guess (and no I don’t consider overpriced recolours that are never even in the bazaar a good solution).
I know people here like to defend the old BPs not coming back as ‘only we deserve it because time exlusives/I only enjoy it because other people can’t have it, etc’ but it’s truly an awful system for people who like to hop in and out of playing the game. I would probably have bought all of them (say ~£20 a piece) if they were avaliable/DLC packs, but oh well…funcom says no. It definitely sours my experience when all the new cosmetic content that’s been added since I last played is simply not avaliable for purchase (unlike when they ran their old DLC model).
Really wish/hope they rethink this model and add back the full BPs as a DLC purchase (but I won’t hold my breath).
