I guess some players feel that the gurus are not listening because they have asked for stuff that still has not made it into the game. Not everything will.
But as someone who could not care less about updated babies for example, I am very glad that they spent their resources on new, more flexible career options. And I am always happy about free CAS and BB items. As someone who did not even notice the "fight for a shelf", I was pleasently surprised by this addition and do hope that positive feedback will lead to more basic color variations being added to existing items. I just like the overall theme of this little free pack and I do think they take community feedback into account while still trying to deliver content that is new to the franchise.
