Balance issues likely prevent the ancillary pools from getting too ambitious with the new sets. While I'd love to see others, since I'm not really happy with a lot of them on some at's, I don't expect them to show up just because they're in the game otherwise.
The auction houses are ... fine as they are? I don't understand what you mean by constant updates to the AH? Do you mean "recipe drops" instead? The auction house is an enabler not a provider.
They've tried to explain why we don't already have jetpacks - but we've also JUST been told that with I15 there will be some new costume additions and such. I'd say be patient for the month or so that it'll take to go out to full beta, since they're going to open it shortly anyway, get on test, and see for yourself what might already be there you want.
The bases issue was supposed to be worked out, but to my knoweledge something went kind of wrong, and didn't work nearly as well as they wanted, so I suspect they're back to the drawing board with that.

Ok,
With the addition of new power sets, I believe we need an update to the ancillary power pools. By this update I mean we need additional powers added to what I consider NOW limited choices. To name a few, we have had Willpower, Archery, and Psionics added to the game. As we recieve new power sets, these should be rolled into the APPs. Thoughts?
Auction Houses:
While I love updates/new features to the game, I feel they are pointless if we dont have consistant updates.
Granted we have had new IO sets added to the AH's however, I would like to see additional temp powers with longer "shelf life" and costume pieces ala jetpacks or different styles of our current boots. Same thing goes for bases, more fluff and stuff for our bases please! Big additions to the game, less fluff added
thanks for letting me express my opinion.
