I noticed that the only way to get non-dmg Formula Books was from the Season Pass, as the ones from Guild are for the damage variant. I'm glad that most of the P2W has been removed from the game and was just curious about this, as I'd love to be able to get them ingame somehow.

Is this always going to be the case or is there a chance that they could be introduced into the game sometime in the future, even if its hard to obtain? 

Outside of that, thoroughly enjoying the game for everything else that it has to offer, just not sure if not having the Season Pass puts me at a massive disadvantage versus those that have bought it at least once.
