I agree with this, they've almost completely stopped updating the base game, so if we want new features we have to pay (and I know you're all going to respond with the 'they need to make money' argument). I said when MH was announced that I was worried about free updates being stopped and only getting things through DLC, I guess I was right.
It's going to create a divide in the playerbase through the crafts. 'Oh that's a really cool design! Downloading it now!' only to find out you're missing parts, and to get those parts, you have to spend $15 or $20 on a DLC.
