I have the Master Tier subscription and purchased the three core books.
I invited my players to re-create their characters in my home brew campaign section. One of the players said he is being asked to purchase content to use his cleric domain. I thought the whole purpose of Master Tier was to allow your players access to all the content you bought. I bought the three core books, so they should have access to this domain from the PHB.
Are they doing something wrong? I can't currently observe this content as the players do, only from my account which has full access.
Make sure that you enable the content sharing on that campaign. If this problem occurs only for 1 player or for some of the content, make that player exit the campaign and re-enter again.
As someone who plays with multiple groups and already has access to all of these books, I can't in my right mind justify buying all of them again. I love the idea of D&D Beyond, it seems like an amazing tool but having to purchase the content just seems a bit much.

Getting really tired of hearing people complaining that they already paid for the content and should therefore get DDB for free or at a discount.
Try thinking of it like you're not paying again for the content. You're paying for a tool that can interact with content. This tool lets content be searchable, edited, and even shared with other people in your group.
Yes, you bought the books. Yes, they cost money. They're just books though.
Want to quickly find a monster for an aquatic environment with a CR5 or lower? Option A) Start flipping through your Monster Manual and finding them all Option B) Get on the internet and start searching - maybe someone made a list already that you can access Option C) Get on DDB and use the extensive Monster search
Want to create a new character? Option A) Start flipping through your source books and create one Option B) Get on the internet and find an online character generator that uses content legally Option C) Get on DDB and use the ridiculously easy character creator that pulls all the relevant info from your content
Your buddies have all got married and moved away. Getting together to game is hard. Bill owned the Monster Manual, Frank owned the DMG and Sharon owns the PHB. Option A) You all hop on a chat platform and start to play, looking up various info from the different owners when needed Option B) You all have DDB accounts and all pitch in for one of you to have a Master license. You all pitch in and buy the digital content. Now when you play on your chat platform, you all have acess to everything.
Anyway, there's tons of examples like this. You're not paying for content again. You're paying for a tool. Tools cost money. They make our life easier and save time.
That's the startup cost of what it costs my gaming group to use DDB in the first year. After the first year, it costs us a little over a dollar a month each. If we were in the US, it would be less than a buck a month. Is a buck a month worth having searchable, shareable, official D&D content that my entire group has access to? In our case, it's a resounding yes.

This right here is spot on and I totally agree, I own the books, but not all of my players do. So I got the master sub and dropped the coin out of my own pocket for the tools here and I am for one very very satisfied and looking forward to what comes next.
While the tool is amazing I cannot justify spending the amount of money again on rules and adventures. Now if this option where say half the cost of the books then I might spend more money. I love the homebrew option and could see spending a hire fee to access these things. Just my two cents.
Maybe time to close this thread? This isn't a feedback-focused thread. Just an announcement about pricing. People with issues purchasing submit a support ticket. People who can't afford DBB go find other resources. People that don't like pricing, go buy other resources at a price point you like, used book store may have discounted prices on many of the core products. Go forth and have fun and play D&D however you like!

You're allowed not to buy them.
I love choices!
