Where does SE lack when it comes to casual content, or do they lack at all?

I have not played too many games, I will admit, but of the ones I have this game is the only one that makes gathering/crafting as big a grind as getting end-game gear. It's insane. Gathering and crafting is, usually, suppose to be relaxing. Not so in this game.

That, to me, is the draw. If it were the same as other games I would have lost interest a looooong time ago.
