So I came back after a 3 year break, seeing Menace of the Underdark, Kings Forest, and Epic Destinies. I took my level 20 monk, did the starter quests to get myself to Eveningstar, learn I can take on this new Epic destiny, and decide to do so.
My travels to the Fateweaver show me I cannot take an Epic Destiny, I ask people why, they ask if I purchased the adventure required. I answer that I am VIP, I should have them all. I am answered back that even as a VIP, someone who pays every month to play a fully unlocked game except some of the favor unlocks, needs to BUY an adventure pack.
So along with my 15 dollar a month sink into the game, I have to purchase 35 dollars worth of Turbine Points to purchase the adventure I SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BY PAYING MONTHLY.
I will admit I have purchased my fair share of Turbine Points and spread them around the store for additional experience, loot stones, etc. but I never purchased an adventure pack, because as a VIP I have access to all of them. I feel like Turbine is wiping their bums with my money and buying slurpies with it, because with all the 5-8min lag spikes consistantly popping up, they certainly arent putting it back into the game.
