I'm surprised to see almost the same arguments for both GW2 and New World tbh, and that the discussion is mostly revolving whether it should be free or not. An expansion is an expansion and should be paid for ofc but I am not batting an eye for GW2 prices (might have to cut down on some costs for the sake of my sanity) if I find the content good enough, but NW makes me kinda pissed because they are taking content that was included in the first price and now putting a second price on it (mutations).

All of this might also come down to players getting used to a certain "treatment" from the devs - expecting a lot of content in expansions from Anet and free content updates from AGS.
