Updates won't work? [ Edited ]

[coraliefisher]

For some reason every time I open the game launcher it tells me I need to update, so I do which always takes forever, but even after it is done, I still need the update?...  I've done it so many times, so I'm lost as to what is wrong.  Any ideas?

I bought some expansion packs as well and they say I have to update before I can use them....  worthless.
