I was way too casual when the game started, and lost a lot of ground not farming the initial toons that were in the game. By the time newer toons started arriving, I found myself having to choose between them or the new toons, and as often as not having to farm those older toons anyway to get the new ones.
Similarly, I wish I'd known how important certain factions were going to be to certain aspects of the game. Mod challenges, I'm looking at you specifically.
I wish I'd bothered more with ships when they came out too. I will NEVER catch up.
But mostly, resource management. So much unused energy, so many crystals wasted, so much gear invested in toons that weren't important. The last part especially - now that I've learned to focus my efforts, I'm doing a lot better.
Last, I wish I'd never assumed that because I'm (mostly) free to play, that meant I'd never be able to be competitive in the game. That idea alone informed most of the other poor choices I've made.
