1-2. Maryuy's voice. I like almost every voice of every girl in the game. I'm not fond of the more abusive voices, but they sound fine to me. I don't mind Ooyodo talking while selecting quests, even if I'm not really a fan of it. But I hate, HATE Mayuru's voice. It grates on my ears like knives digging deep into my skull. The second I heard that high-pitch squeal continue to even-higher, downright piercing levels of painful noise I knew I had found my least-favorite Kanmusu to have at the head of a fleet. If any other shipgirl had an annoying voice (maybe barring a good BB or CV) I wouldn't mind much cause I could just throw them in the back of my fleet. But NO. That voice has to go to the most frail, cost-efficient, spammable, and arguably USEFUL little Modernization sacrifice that NEEDS to be leveled up to Kai to get the most out of her modernization. And LSC practically GUARANTEES that I have another one waiting to get leveled up next, like some kind of sadistic bench-warmer. I hate Mayuru's voice so much I'm giving it two points of annoyance.

3. Event-Only Ships I don't actually mind ships only being available during events- that idea is fine. I just think it takes a ridiculously long time for them to become NOT event only shipgirls. I just think that after like 3-4 events of being dropped only during events, a shipgirl should become buildable, or maybe drop on certain normal maps. To this day I still don't have a Tokitsukaze, a DD I've always wanted based on design alone. Try as I might during events, even getting some (but not all) even more rare ships, she avoids my grasp. She's been in the game for ages! So has U-511! Why aren't they buildable at this point? Give me a chance to work on my collection outside of events, please!

4. Non-Buildable Equipment It's been said before, but equipment not being buildable but being practically required for certain maps (looking at WG42) is absurd. Yeah, no single piece of equipment is "required" to beat any map, but some maps are designed with equipment sets in mind, and if you can't meet those sets, you're in for a bad time.

5. Seasonal Costumes only I love the seasonal costumes. I think they give a lot of flavor and distinct personality to the game depending on when you play, along with voice lines. But what if I really like a costume and not the normal look? Why not allow players to buy seasonal costumes or voice lines? I wouldn't even care if it was done with real money instead of in-game only. It wouldn't even have to be everything available from the get-go. Maybe it could only be unlocked for Kanmusu you've seen/heard during the season, or even sortied with during the timeframe. I'd be cool with limitations, just give me the option.

6. Event Power Creep I'm extending most peoples' arguments of enemy power-creep to the entire event system. Events have become pretty intense even on easier difficulties for a semi-casual player like me. Having to fight multiple fleets touting already-boss-level enemies, all while those enemies seem to get stronger versions over the years, combined with increasingly demanding and ludicrous side-objectives/ requirements (seriously? Now we have to defend our own base from getting bombed? To a lesser extent Fall 2015's multiple-segmented areas were also kind of silly. Why not just split it into 2 maps?) is just disheartening after awhile.

7. 1-5A Sniper Sub I've kind of had time to get over this one since I seem to have decent luck against it, but this sub has caused more Retreats than any other enemy for me in the game. Pretty sure today's update for ASW pre-strike is going to almost make this complaint non-existent though. Tested today and sub goes down like all the other chumps now ...most of the time.

8. Secretary Ship doesn't keep track of Quests Kind of an odd complaint, I know, but I choose a secretary ship for a reason (when not sortieing). I like Ooyodo, but why doesn't the secretary ship keep track of your quests? Isn't that part of the job description: to be a secretary? I want to have my chosen gals talk to me while I work.

9. DD Population too High Almost half of my entire fleet is made of Destroyers. Honestly I really like destroyers, but there comes a point where they're kind of overwhelming. I like leveling them up and using new ones that I think are cool. Heck, I'm even happy that AACI has become a thing for them, lending them some role diversity strength. But I don't have time to focus on all of them because I'm too busy leveling up Another DD Kai Ni. I feel like even the ones I've put work into get drowned out just do to their sheer number. Give the DDs some rest in releases, yeah? Share the love with other ships. Like Submarines or CLTs or AVs or...

10. Support Expeditions Great idea, horrible execution. Spending HUGE resource dumps just to miss a bunch of submarines and not even bothering to fight anything else is both depressing and infuriating. Why can't fights be guaranteed? Or at least choose a limited number of strikes, like the Spring 2016 event gimmick? WHY ISN'T THE BOSS STRIKE GUARANTEED?! Honestly I usually got without even bothering to support unless I'm seriously desperate, and even then I usually regret it.

There's my long-winded "10" annoyances. None game-breaking for me, but all are upsetting.
