Multiplayer's really the only feature I'd consider paying for in an expansion. I dont think there's anything else that could add enough to the game to make it worth more money

Expansions only go so far. I dont think they're worth the money most of the time. They're not going to totally redesign game elements. That's what they save for sequels.
