This is the reason I've not bought the game. I'll get it used or borrow it, but I won't buy it first hand.
I don't mind too much if a free-to-play game money-begs me from time to time because there was no entry fee to that and they have to make their money somehow. I'm not paying full price for a money-begging game though. If it wants to inform me that an expansion pack is available during the title screen I can live with that, but constant suggestion I go to the online marketplace during gameplay is not just annoying, but one of the worst things you can do in terms of immersion breaking.
