1. i'm not talking about anything except the problem i mentioned.
2. i'm not whining. On the forum, each time someone starts to run out of logical arguments, it begins using the term "whining" about the guys who don't agree with him. I suggest you try to avoid such words and remain at logical arguments.
Therefore, i am sure there are good things about the update, but that doesn't eliminate the fact that there are huge bad things about it. And i and others mentioned one of those bad things.
Simply put, why would only new shops benefit of the chance to get new items and not ALL the shops. Maybe some old towns will have new items, maybe some won't. But the point is why to create disadvantages for players that played for a long time, who contributed with ideas on the forums, who helped finding bugs and who in fact tested the game from the time it was beta. Why will this update forgets the old members and just try 2 attract new guys?
You talk about "something new to work on" and "a new element to the game". Well, shooting old towns and players in the leg is not new and not exciting at all.
