People like collecting stuff. This game prides itself on collecting stuff, there are achievements for it. Meaning it's part of the gameplay experience intended by the devs to be able to collect things.
If our bare minimum is being able to load the game and access a server, then that bar is so low it's drilled a hole to china. Nor is the bar "being capable of killing stuff", because several people don't even play the game for the PvE section and actually like crafting and gathering, only really engaging in PvE when they need to progress with the MSQ to access new areas.
