I also want to avoid content exclusive to old players, not too hardcore players, just old players, like the Shinden kai, which creates an unfair and undeserved segregation/street creed between recent and older players. If you want to flex, just use exclusive furniture, or put stars on those rarer items.

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 have already seen 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.
