Just because I'm replaying the Dragon Age series (I'm playing inquisition for the first time, but I've replayed the previous titles to create saves / world states), I'll use that as an example because it's very good in this situation.
The games introduce good (Awakening) midling (return to ostogar, Legacy, etc) and crap dlcs (mage item pack 2) and most of them, like osogar, gives out loot like free candy. item packs for dragon age 2 are just simply power boosts for a single-player title. And the items inside these all look special, are statted like bis / endgame gear too or level up with you. Else they are very good on the level.
What they do like this is completely ruin the difficulty curve and reward system of the game and it's really one of the worst part of these games. EA shenanigans in this case, but I hate them.
People defend it like "oh, you can get all these ingame, they don't matter, they don't do anything!" Well, neither does gay incest.
