There is some grinding involved but hitting the unspoiled nodes isn't so bad once you get a rotation going, then you can start farming crafting/gathering gear like a champ.
The problem on my end is that I've been playing since 2.2. The release of 3.x with how they handled red scrips and crafting gear in general completely took out the fun out of gathering and crafting for me. As a veteran player, these aren't "new things" for me to get into, it's something I've done and something they really haven't done much as far as adding to it is concerned.
