Online store prices are outrageously high!

You CAN compare things that aren't made by the same company and judge if one is better value than the other.

And that's my point. So what are you going to do when you find out another game's DLC is "better value." Quit this game for that other game? If not, then what has your comparison done? Nothing, it's useless.

When you compare two phones, you're choosing between which phone to buy. When you compare two DLCs from two different games, there is no choice to be made since they're from two different games. Better value in another game doesn't translate to the other game.

EXAMPLE:

Right now, WoW made appearance change free, but so what? Unless you play WoW, that won't do anything to you or your FFXIV character. You pay for fantasia if you want to change your FFXIV character. A cheaper service/DLC in another game is meaningless in dictating prices for this game unless you're willing to quit the game over those prices.
