For an online game to survive, they need to keep bringing in new players as well as retaining current players. An expansion is a great opportunity to recruit new people.

New people will buy the game based on the trailers for the jungle gym, and put down $60 or so for the sandbox and jungle gym. They could have just spent $20 on the sandbox access, because that's all they will be able to do for a few weeks. All the big kids are off playing at the jungle gym. They're stuck in the sandbox with the other toddlers, and can't even peek through the fence at the jungle gym, all they have is a few pictures of it.

It's seen as a bait and switch, generates negative buzz, and affects growing the player base in a negative way.
