First of all, excuse me if I posted this on wrong discussion or if appear rude in this post.

As I mentioned in title I’m returning player(stopped playing 2 moths after initial release) I’ve been playing for two weeks now and while I play I’m trying to find changes, improvements etc.
Some changes are nice like no armor repair cost and free traits change, others like locked story pieces and locked maps behind that story are not and this is what brings me to this forum…

As primarily PVE player I’m trying to decide will I buy HoT or not. As far as my extended search go, buying HoT will not grant me access to LW S2 and S3. If I’m wrong please correct me…
Without LW I can’t access every map (for example Bitterfrost Frontier).HoT Wiki says you get access to Bitterfrost Frontier, but BF Wiki says you need LW. Which one is true??

It’s bullsh… if I need to buy HoT and LW to have access to whole map. Why? Because players that played in time of release got LW for free. Because I paid for Core game when F2P wasn’t possible. Because I paid to play story and I can’t do that. I can understand locking LW behind gems for F2P accounts that bought HoT. But locking it for Core account with HoT is pure bullsh…

So F2P account created today would need to pay 75€ for whole map while returning players like me need to pay 130€ in total… WTF? Looks like crappy business policy to me. And no, currency exchange will not cover this because it’s not fun farming 500+ Gold for something people got for free…

So my final question is will I be able to access whole map if I buy HoT for my core account or I need to pay extra 30€(current value of gems needed) for LW?

Thanks for reading!
