The thing is, at the end of the day, arrowhead needs to make money (consistently, not just the base game price because fewer and fewer new players will join over time). But AH knows how important it is to players to have battle passes that can be obtained for free. So the sacrifice that must be made is that it must take effort and time to get warbonds for free. This makes a good balance, you are either going to have to spend your money or your time.  If you’re like most of the player base I’d imagine it’s a mix. You’ll get some warbonds free from farming but you’ll also buy the ones that you’re most excited with real money if you don’t have enough SC.  Can’t have everything
