Just saying.
The OP is complaining that they aren't adding new, fresh (albeit promised) material and you are complaining that they are planning to add new, fresh material without fixing the old material first. You truly cannot please everyone.
If they painstakingly squash all the bugs but leave everything as it currently is, they will lose people due to lack of new material. Not only that, they will eventually add the new material and it will inevitably add a bunch of bugs, even with the old material.
If they hurry up and pound out a bunch of new stuff until they have no choice but to debug it, they will lose players who have been waiting for "this or that" to get fixed for so long that they QQ and do damage to the games reputation as it will become known to be buggy. I know a number of people who feel that way about the laser rifle skills, for example.
They may have prematurely opened this game up for people waiting in the wings. I know, personally, I have spent many an hour playing and enjoying the game as it is. It is not perfect and they will certainly need to add a whole lot more content for it not to be meaningless blood splattering. The game isn't finished, though, so new PSN users hoping in and trying it for a week and saying "its no COD" or something means nothing. Perhaps they should have "opened" the beta without making it open. Invite only or lengthy application or something. Its too late now, we are off the reservation...
For my part, I acknowledge this games unfinished state whenever I feel I am getting fed up with this or that and if the point comes where I am getting bored to death with the thing (as is) I will set it down for a month. Let those SP rack up passively as I play other games and come back to it when the big bang features come in.
