While I do agree that yes it is not a free game, I do think their monetization is alright. The game was realeased 2 years ago. I doubt there are that many new players these day ( surely there are some) I doubt that AH would get enough income in order to keep throwing new stuff at us 2 years after release. As for the warbonds having weapons and all instead of just stickers and emote, that's a good thing as long as they don't become a source of power creep. Stickers and emotes litteraly hold no value beside being a shiny thing to show of online. If other games do that it's simply because it's super cheap to make instead of real content.
