My biggest issue is how the game doesn't respect your time. It time-gates you as if that's expected or somehow a good addition to the experience. It is absolutely not.
They need to work on it more to really make it shine. I get there are people who aren't going to complain because they really do like what's going on here, but the further you get into this content the more you'll realize It uses inconveniences as a way to stop you from playing. They didn't even bother to increase your exp yield from gathering and kept it at a static 10 exp per node. This is blatant disregard and disrespect to a player's time if they want to move up quickly in the ranks and see what it has to offer.
You may be okay with it, but there are those who are not.
