Why do SOE keep adding generic weapons into the game?

[EVILoHOMER]

I haven't played since December and I wont do because I found the weapon and base design to be boring. I keep getting emails on updates and every time it's loads of weapons that look exactly the same as before, only they have slightly different stats. It's so boring and at this rate in a few years there will be thousands of guns, all looking and playing the same.

Isn't the whole point of new content for it to be different? I was expecting something like TF2, instead we have programmer art weapons. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case and SOE has moved the artists on.

Seriously TF2 PS2 up and let players make the weapons and submit them, they'd do a better job, it would free up resources and maybe then I'd get the underslung MCG, instead of hundreds of weapons that all look and play the same.
