My argument is the same: you are used to souls

Im still on the base game. Just beat the 6th boss. So mo hype for me until i finish the game. Ill probably get it when its on sale.

The skepticism is the same: Artorias of the Abyss was a short DLC, and Dark Souls was my first Souls game.

Just to be clear, did you know that the Old Hunters DLC is two DLC packs put together?

Nope, didn't know that.

The Old Hunters is the only new game/DLC I'm purchasing this year if Tomorrow Children doesn't come out so I'm certainly hyped for it.

Yes, they were originally going to be two, with one releasing earlier this year, but Sony decided to delay the first and sell it as one DLC pack. That's why Yoshida has said it's a substantial update.
