As much as I would absolutely LOVE for this to happen, it won't. Here's why: 1) Bungie is a business, and businesses need profit. DLC is additional incoming profit for the company, and ensures that there will be long-term players to keep the profits coming. The DLC sales that launched on release day is also a known profit-gimmick, and usually accounts to about half of all DLC purchases. 2) Due to laws associated with video games, it is really, REALLY hard to refund consumers for digital data. There are so many laws in place to even be able to trade in physical copies of games to prevent fraud and copyright issues. Without physical content, it's near-impossible to be able to return DLC. 3) The money you gave for the full game helped pay for all the people who worked on it. Granted, the ratio between the quality of the game versus what we paid for is /horribly/ skewed, it all comes down to the fact that there were people behind the game that did come out, and they ought to be compensated for their time. So if you're really not satisfied with the game, then I highly recommend trading it in so you don't have as much loss on it as you will in another month or two. Free DLC will just never happen. Now what /can/ be done is either consistent tweaks of maps through updates, or just bigger DLC that will fill in all the little gaps we need. For instance, in order to minimize putting players through non-stop runs of the same maps, the folks of Diablo III added different textures/weather mapping to the current maps to provide different experiences. This is easily something Bungie can do to cut down the feeling of repetitiveness at least a tiny bit more.
