Just this it's a damn DLC we all know it you can't defend that

Sure they can. Here are some arguments put forth by apologists:

"This is not a DLC, this is a chapter"

"ESO can't be compared to other MMOs' prices"

"Morrowind is priced just like other MMO's expansions"

"Crybabies want everything for free"

"Morrowind is bigger than any other DLCs and therefore worthy of not being in the crown store"

"The definition of a DLC and expansion is not a fixed one"

"Still cheaper than other entertainment alternatives"

"ZOS is a business and is obligated to make as much money as possible"

"ZOS is allowed to change their business model whenever they like"

The problem is they were MMO noobs when they started this. Their legal jargon was lifted directly from the sub required era of the game. So, in order to keep up with costs (not just now, but in the future as well) they needed to alter it. Does it suck? Probably. Even if they had waited until later to change it, all of the freeloaders would complain. (Generalisation, I am a freeloader and not complaining.)
Some of the things I see ppl write make me wonder if y'all ever had to do a day of work in your lives.

This is not the first MMO this company has released.

ESO is not only the first MMO, but the only game Zenimax Online has ever developed. They did hire some industry veterans, yes, but as a company they didn't release any other MMOs.

So I want to make two polls, one before launch and one around one month after, to see what people consider the proper value of content there is in Morrowind.

I'm not biasing it towards either side. We have to take into account amount of work developers invest in such a content. Even if it's not entirely satisfying it's important to pay for the effort.
