@SSTHZero: And I really dislike that! D: What's the point of giving us so many DDs, that cannot even be used properly.

I realize that I've effectively benched Poi in late 2017, since she's not good for TCI and then the meta has taken over her role as the 2nd fleet flagship. :(

@AnimeFreak40K: And... I didn't have any of those guns, other than the Poigun. :D It's been fun in some events, trying to clear some maps without the akigun.

Power creep is real, but if you play the game long enough you could at least have a chance at ranking in eventually. The only time it really hurts is when OP equipment is given as once-off ranking rewards, but to be fair, rankers have to play pretty hard to earn them.

Ranking eh? I've always stayed far away from that. Just because 500 people or so have so much time to throw into this game to get 2000 points more than I usually do, I don't feel obligated to do the same. (I'm on Hashirajima, so yeah).

If each server has 1000 players, that also means there will be 500 losers too.

I believe you will eventually catch up, since I was once there too. Now, there is something more irritating to me than BPs - how some of the new remodels require ARs, which I could not get. :D

Yes, I know. I don't mean that our current tools will surely not work, but do you think it is proper for a 3rd party to have to make tools for making the game playable? I don't. I could not tell if they didn't fix this design aspect because it was intended from the start, or if they felt that there was no need to...

The viewers don't always stay compatible with the game and website, since they're always upgrading their interfaces. My own viewer (KCV) has been discontinued and Ooi seems to have issues with DMM's changes around December 2017, so these don't fully function with Kancolle in year 2018.
