Man I wish I was as efficient as you when I started. I had so many bad TTK traits when I first started:

1. I thought I would luck out and get a rare DD when I first started crafting ships -> nope never happened, waste of resources

2. I avoided going through maps with enemy capital ships (BB, CV, esp. CVs) b/c I didn't want the enemy to hit me first. This applied to PvP as well, I kept away from fighting foes with carriers.

3. B/c of ^, I farmed 1-2 and thought I was a smart-ass for doing so.

4. I dropped in just before the Arpeggio Event. At that point, I was doing 2-4 and had the stupidest idea of exploiting then-OP Iona and Takao to complete it. While I did complete 2-4 and the event with those characters, by the time the event was over those two ships were level 30+. AND THEN THEY WERE GONE. And I knew they would be gone from the beginning, and reasoned it would be ok back then, but no. Suddenly I found myself a high lv TTK with weakass ships, I've remedied this problem somewhat, but I can still feel the problem today.

more bad TTK habits tomorrow after I sleep and recharge my memory
