There is a difference between an expansion pack and DLC. Mainly in the amount of content and changes in gameplay. Where as Dragonborn for Skyrim only added Solstheim, Burning Crusade added an entire new continent And for an MMO, usually it includes game time attached to the price of the pack anyway.

What I'm getting annoyed at, is that all the complaints I'm seeing are relevant to single player games. We were told right from the beginning that ESO was going to be an MMO, and of the sheer size of map and active player size. There is no reason why anyone should've thought something that big was going to be free to play.
