I want to play through Mass Effect 2 again (i played it when it first came out), but of course I want to play it with all the Dlc. The original game you can get for about $10 now. But I counted that all the dlc would cost me 3600 bw points = $60! That is more then a full game price for just some dlc. Is it possible to buy them all in a pack cheaper or any other way? It seems insanly expensive?

It is up to the individual to determine for themselves: DLC is an option, not a requirement for finishing the game. BTW: $ 60 is not more, but equal to the release cost of the game. I have yet to see DLC drop in price anywhere from any company (save for periodic reduced price bundles offered as incentives to buy).

Personally, I have purchased DLC I wanted for my games and have not been disappointed or in any way feel cheated.

It is up to the company if they want to try to rip off their customers or not. I know EA was elected worst company of the year (for a good reason), but is this an EA directive, or a Bioware one? My opinion of BW is tarnished by this. It would be good with a less partial response. What do you even mean by "I have yet to see DLC drops in price anywhere from any company". That happens all the time! If not, you can always buy the GOTY edition later and get everything in one pack. When the big pack of Mass Effect Trilogy is released they don't even include a fraction of the DLC in that pack.

Please don't quote me out of context, my statement contains an important modifier, which you left out and needs to be taken it its entirety: 

 'I have yet to see DLC drop in price anywhere from any company (save for periodic reduced price bundles offered as incentives to buy).'

 

That statement includes periodic incentives by publishers, including EA.

 

While in your opinion you may consider it being as being a rip-off that you didn't get all the DLC created for the Mass Effect series when purchasing the trilogy, that does not make your statement a fact, it still remains as your opinion. and I am good with that.

 

However, when you suggest EA is ripping off customers, you are assuming the role of speaking for all customers, but you do not speak for me or for others, whether others may or may not agree with you.

I don't get your quote or where you pull that "information" from. I have bought dlc cheaper for many games that where not in a bundle. Also you can always buy a GOTY edition later that includes all DLC.

 

As for rip off. You don't need to take my word for it, there is a reason for this, maybe good idea to change business strategy?:

We could continue to discuss our differences of opinion, but this is the BioWare Store Support forum and would continue to be off topic.
