True.

However, they did build anticipation to expect something exciting and new every week by stating they'd have a new release every week as part of their F2P model.

Having some of those 'new' items merely be 'you can purchase a pre-existing in-game temp power' is underwhelming, but understandable.

Which is kind of my point, they've released all that stuff in 9 weeks time while just coming off i21 which in itself had a huge amount of content/updates.

Apart from the survival kit, there has been something new in the store every week.

Oh goodie, a new costume piece I can buy.

<------------Gets every costume piece and powerset release. Pretty much ignores everything else.

Personally, I don't think they should force themselves to come up with something every week. The last two weeks' offerings were lame. This week is OK.

What I would like to see would be bug fixes for sale every week. I'd pay $10 extra to have NPC's not get stuck on the stairs in Praetoria's underground maps. They could really rake some money in on that.

Pretty much this. ^ ^ ^ Except for my first week binge on several costume slots and some additional inventory space.

Conveniently, I have a plant/cold controller named Al Pine, who is a manifestation of Nature.

I don't think they're "forcing." Reportedly they have the next several months of items planned out already. It's just that not all of them are going to be jaw-dropping.

No complaints from me personally! I'm happy we're getting more available in a shorter timeframe than previously.
