For a final note, the best thing that could happen to Kancolle is having the developers listen to the community, because for years, most of the best FTP games already see an active debate between their devs and fans, bringing a constant benefic feedback loop to enhance the game. Better than "me" to improve this game is all of us '''AND''' the devs.
