Frankly, I think most people are ok with Prinz/Akizuki being drops, because they were rewards in the past. Gives the newer admirals a chance to get them if they try often enough, without giving multiples of them to older admirals too easily.

I think most people are ok with trophy DDs like Arashi being gated by farming as well. Kind of a case of 'if you want them you farm for them, but you don't really need them'. The problem which started with Roma and persisted to Graf here that is annoying is that capital ships which had a direct impact on fleet viability were only obtainable through farming. Recently ship rewards have exclusively been destroyers and auxiliary ships, while capital ships (the strongest AV mizuho, the only yasen-capable CV Graf) were drop gated.

This sets a disturbing trend. It's one thing to be able to get most important drops and have to farm for optionals, but it's another to have to farm for important drops - and in the case of people with limited time to play due to RL commitments, it may not be possible to have that amount of time to farm, even if the resource numbers are sufficient.

I'm not salting for my own sake since I did achieve every single goal I set, but this has been a major concern for some of the veteran Admirals I've spoken to.
