I see your point, but I also see vorxdargo's point as well. The Arena's don't compare to a full map expansion as far as I'm concerned. Sure, it's a new section of the game that people without the DLC are unable to get into, but DLC holders aren't exactly spending hours and days roaming the Arenas like they would a large map expansion. Space Marine, for example, added a couple DLC packs that are widely regarded as community dividers.
I'm not saying that map expansion would kill the game, nor am I denying the possibility of it dividing the community. Regardless, it's highly doubtful that it would be a game-killer. Trion has been pretty clear in their intentions to not make a game where this kind of thing happens, so I'm sure when they finally do expand the map, everyone that owns the game will at least be able to see it. Reaping the rewards is likely a different hellbug altogether.
Not trying to make an argument, just adding food for thought!

"You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say."
But does anyone else get the distinct impression this whole DLC came from someone at Trion going to watch 47 Ronin in the theatres?
Reading this entire thread would surely lower my IQ into the negative, as it barely reaches into double digits currently.
Edit: I do believe the map will only be expanded when Syfy says it is okay, but hey I could be wrong.
The Defiance IP is owned by Trion, so that's a decision that will be made in partnership with Syfy because everything in the universe needs to be developed together, but would not be held back by anyone as you say!
And I don't think Trick's had any time to see movies in the past couple months. He's always in the office whenever I'm here. :P

Yah, that's what I meant. Thanks for clarifying. I knew I could get you to respond somehow.
Dahanese, I hope you understand that I put up such a fuss only because Defiance is great. I, like many others here, see it's full potential. There is absolutely no reason that it should be a hinderance to Trion, quite the opposite in fact. It should catapult Trion to new levels, and that is what I want to see happen.
