I think it mostly boils down to whether you started before 2016 and if you're the kind to break down medals for screw. There's only 6 K2 during 2016 and only 2 of them requires BP so you'll have plenty of medals lying around doing nothing. That might just be it. Because I only started doing EOs partway through 2016, because I started in late 2015. So I was already behind, I guess. Not that I have ships that are vital to BP. Only Taigei, Katsuragi, Amagi and Kinu left. But I can't seem to catch up if they release one or two Kai Ni's every month. If you are right, and in 2016 they released only 6 Kai Ni's that require BPs, That still leaves us with the remaining 21 from 2015 and 2017. (24 if you count the double BPs for Kumano/Suzuya and Bismarck).

I am, as someone so "elequently" put it: butthurt because of the frequency of the BP ships and the lack of medals. And the 'you'll get them, when you get them' doesn't really fly if they release more ships than one can possibly BP. I have been doing roughly 5 EOs per month for the past year, pick Medals from challanges whenever I can, never use my Medals for anything but BPs and I was actually getting close to BP-ing everybody. But then they went and release(d) 5 ships that all require BPs in a 3 month period. Screwing up my plans again :P. I was so set on being able to BP everyone before april of 2018, but that can't happen now.

And if you are of a mindset that you are: 'not supposed to collect all ships' then I would like you to explain to me why the game is called Kantai Collection. And why collection isn't the operative word here, apparantly. Could you maybe also explain to me how it is good design that every (if not all) updates seem to be catering to the longest and most loyal players? The only reason why I get left in the dust is because I didn't start early enough.

I still like the game though. Play it every day. Still love the community. But Tanakas' pandering is really starting to cheese my onions. To collect is not equal to collect all of them. You collect the way you like, don't feel as if you are forced to have every one of them.

As for your question of "updates seem to be catering the longest and most loyal players"...

Dude, we had to wait for two years before getting non-underpowered aircraft carriers (2015 August, aircraft proficiency), three years for OP allied ships, while newer players will have them in months. The "old glory" like Shimakaze and Yukikaze and Shigure and the Dragons (2nd CVDiv) got replaced by newer K2 ships and event ships all the time, but did you hear any of us complaining?
