Ya, the "hey, pay a bunch of real money to unlock this quest" is a shitty way to monetize expansions. If they want to have a paid DLC, just have a paid DLC. Also, this shit:

It's instead being sold via the Creation Club storefront that's also been added to the game as part of this update, for a price of 700 credits.
For a bit of context, purchasing a pack of 1000 Creation Club credits - which is what you'd need to be able to buy this quest...

The execs of any company which has made up "coins" which cannot be bought in exact amount to cover exact items should be dragged out into the street, and have molten gold poured down their throats.
