Endlessly churning out maps and reconfiguring skill combinations is low quality "new content". The complaint isn't that they are trying to do something after launch but this is a piss poor way to do it.
This is an excellent topic that I would gladly read an article about. It isn't that the game is old but that newer systems have come up with better ways to do the grindy things found in the game so why do those players stick with it?
Okay let me rephrase: Where in the hell is Rio in all of this beyond a city in Brazil? What in the hell are those new classes adding? And should anyone care about more maps on the same modes?
As others have mentioned, sites like eBay work like this where they are high volume systems they aren't "up to the minute markets". While a purchase or a very high bid is made the system works to transfer items or update top bids but the auction appears to everyone else like it is still active where any perspective buyer can never reach a winning bid.
@GunslingerPanda It isn't that people hate the movie because it fails to wrap everything up but these are points the writers/director/etc went out of their way to point out then don't give a satisfactory explanation on why they pointed something out let alone explain it. It is a risky way to tell a story because it can easily backfire because using "...isn't that a mystery" isn't good storytelling when they use it as a conclusion instead of a introduction.
And often times when a movie raises issues and fails to address them it isn't a failure of the audience "getting it" but instead it is a failure on the production side "getting it".
I seriously don't see the point of buying gold and weapons from auction houses. Isn't the whole point of this game finding better stuff, as soon as you buy the best stuff you are just not gonna have as much fun playing it.
The way the game's classes are designed, the odds are against you that you will find what you need for that particular character such that roughly only 1/5 of the drops will be useful to that character let alone be possible upgrades. So yes you could buy something off the auction house that is an upgrade but the chance is kind of remote that it will be replaced immediately.
Like other forms of artistic creation, sometimes restrictions or limitations enhances the final product. Cage is right that we don't need another generation of hardware to have very good games.
