DLC Maps/Map Packs
While I dislike buying a game only to spend more money to fully unlock it, I would be happy to buy DLC maps/map packs occasionally. I think maps should be obtainable in-game and we could use Rainbow...

I'm not a fan of DLC map packs as it will divide an already small community. As some of us buy pretty much everything (like me), some will not and then when you queue up it will either have to skip maps some of us have but others in queue do not or have a separate queue for those without packs and with (and perhaps further subdivided for people that have all map packs, while some will have pack 1 but not 2 or 3, some have 3 but not 1 or 2, etc.).
While letting us use all the coins we're sitting on and adding them to prize maps isn't a bad idea (and man, do we need something to spend coins on), it could still have this issue as some people play less and can't keep up but will still want to queue up for matches.
I do want more maps and especially maps we love from GW1 and 2. To make more money for the game, I'd rather have stuff we can buy that won't damage the queue; more character slots is one I'd gladly pay money for, as one example. Edit: 3 slots per character is not going to be enough, especially as more costumes become available!

This was my initial concern at this proposal. From reading posts here we already have some lobby problems. In a much larger active community we could get away with some people having maps while others don't but at the games current state it could cause more fill problems as some of the community was pulled to other maps while others were not, spreading a thin player base thinner.
