Paid Content Packages, Money to Dice, Content to Players?
One of the things we remember being said from when they were making this game is that Paid DLCs wouldn't be a feature because they splitted the community in SWBF2015. That's true, I remember how it was harder to find Battle Command mode on Death Star DLC then Walker Assault, Drop Zone, or Heroes Vs Villains.
However this has never splitted the community for who could use Bossk and who couldn't, or who could use those Hutt Contract Weapons, that could only be unlocked by playing with DLC stuff, and who couldn't. It could feel unfair, but not P2W. I mean, we couldn't play in maps restricted to DLCs with players that hadn't bought those DLCs, but we could play with heroes, weapons, and star cards that were restricted to DLCs with player that hadn't bought said DLCs.
So aside from Maps and Game Modes, I believe bringing paid content that can be used regardless if all players in the same lobby have bought that content or not is a good and honest way to allow DICE to make more money from this, and for us to receive more content.
We have so much content from SWBF2015 that MUST come to SWBFII but will probably not come, like weapons, card abilities, heroes.
If it doesn't feel P2W (and I don't recall feeling that in SWBF2015, even with Bossk behind a pay wall), I'm all for it. I'd prefer that then a game which will die after Anakin and the new game mode are released in February.

I don't think DLC money would be a huge motivator for the devs.
Concepts for potential maps:

I agree with this.
Edit: This was my 1000th post LOL. I finally have that badge.

Worthless Clown skins aren't gonna get my money.
The pay to win crusaders have set this ship (this game) on fire. It became a poster child for the crusaders. Originally, I believe the game was set up as Galaxy of Heroes which is still going on after a few good years. It is definitely a pay to win mobile game.
And we heard the story multiple times what lead to the loot boxes being removed which was going to be the main source of income. In real life (not the virtual reality) you pay more money for quality and maintenance of service. I could see that there was some good potential in this game (more heroes, more maps, especially extraction).
I always have a good chuckle when I hear someone say they are going to sue for false advertisement. If that was plausible, I would be taking about good 75% of the companies that make products to court. There is no true binding contract with a purchase.
We should enjoy the ship while it is still floating.
If that was the case we wouldn't get sports retreads with no changes every year, EA's makes a killing on micros
I know it's not as though dice/ea are a small company, they take millions and millions in each year, throwing money at this game isn't going to do nothing, you might as well flush your cash down the toilet at least you will see where it goes.

The biggest lesson for me was not to pre-order any more.
