Those DLC packs are actually more like Kickstarter rewards. The text of the Pirate King DLC is this:

> This DLC gives you the right to enter a name and character backstory into the game, with skills, appearance, and special work requirements. In addition, your character will appear as the leader of another faction!

and follows with a note that says it does not affect game play, only gives you the right to add your desired content to the game.

Sure would be nice if people would look at what the DLC actually is before complaining about it....

I'd like to note that I wasn't complaining about it, just noting that at a glance it makes the game look expensive.
