I watched the product update video on Twitch yesterday. It was mentioned that the presenter was not understanding why people were requesting more than 12 people in a single campaign. A campaign style that has been around a bit and made more popular by a couple 5e bloggers is the "West Marches" style of campaign play. In this style of game 10-30 people are part of the same campaign but play at different times. So having more character slots in a single campaign would enable these types of campaign games to be managed from D&D Beyond.
Maybe I'm doing it the wrong way, but I'm also using character slots for NPCs I use in campaign. I could see filling up all available slots pretty easily

They have to limit Master Tier slots because otherwise, the system could be grossly abused with one account having a Legendary Bundle and thousands of accounts benefiting from it.
What I'd like to see is a Master Tier sub that only gives 1 campaign slot and 12 character slots for $5 p/m. For every extra campaign slot and 12 character limit, add a $1 p/m to the subscription cost.
As a DM I usually run only 5 to 6 players in a campaign and run a number of campaigns so I would like to rather have more campaign slots and fewer player slots per campaign. So rather than be limited to 3 campaigns with 12 players each, I would prefer to have 6 campaigns at 6 players each, if we could mix and match now that would truly be great. I also like to use the campaign area to place important NPC's and would like to see them separated from the player characters and not count against my slots used. Currently, I create them (the NPC's) and deactivate them (it says they won't count against my available slots) but when I go to open the campaign area they still show up and counted in the player total and their portrait takes up space in the listing. Anway I think players to share content it should be based on a total number of player/character slots rather than limiting the number of the campaigns.
3 campaigns 12 players each = 36 players or dms who can literally just log in to a made up campaign just for book availlability. Thats one single legendary buy in with a single per month price splitted on say 36 people. Thats a really really really cheap way of having all books.
Now... 3 campaigns 30 players... That 90 people who didnt have to pay a thing to gain books for free.
Yeah right... That wont happen... Curse would lose too much profit there.

Create them as a homebrew monster. I usually make an NPC in the builder, then port it over to a monster. You can then link to the page of the homebrew monster from wherever.
What if I could arrange my 36 slots as I please. I could use them for the one campaign I am running. I don't need more spots, I just want all the characters in the same one.
everything here is placed in categories so monsters are for monsters, items for items. you get it, so yeah just do homebrew...
