    The game is buy to play.

    The base game is buy to play, chapters are buy to play. DLC is buy to play or costs you a subscription. All that reinforces my point - TANSTAAFL.

    And people have to buy the expansion to play the battle grounds. So B2P makes sense.

    Yes
    On the assumption they have some sort of matchmaking and rating system, then yes they should give access to battlegrounds for the simple reason more players mean shorter queues and better matchmaking for everyone.

    Because there are DLC that people and zos claim meets what they said about subs Covering the cost of 4 dlc a year that are completely free to everyone.

    Since you didn't include an ACTUAL question, I am going to assume you are asking whether or not Battlegrounds should be available to those who do not purchase the Morrowind expansion. Which to that I say yes, everyone should be allowed to access it. It would almost be like if you could only play the Warden class if you bought the expansion. Just because other content is coming out with the DLC (or whatever they are calling it), doesn't mean it isn't for everyone.

    Maybe
    I run a large 200+ PvP guild and 99% of us will be buying the expansion just based on a few things

    Organized PvP
    Capped PvP Instances
    Objectives that make it fun
    Reasonable Price with other goodies
    No lag
    Ranking system (hopefully)
    Intense small scale fights

    This is a great start for PvP players....I just hope they give us different size groups and more modes to play.

    To be fair, I see no reason why Battlegrounds could not be bundled with Morrowind and also sold as a standalone DLC (and given for free to active ESO+ subscribers). It's perfectly fine to charge players for access to the game mode (either purchased with crowns or accessible with an active subscription), but there is no reason to gate it behind the most expensive DLC to date. I mean if they add a 4th arena later as part of another DLC, will only the players that already own Morrowind have acccess to it? That's pretty darn shady right there.

    It's open to anyone who wants it.

    PVP is still a available without a chapter purchase.
