If this was another game, you would probably spend ages gathering each node, with no return teleport and a slower mount speed. You would do a lot more clicking to build structures and do a giant grind that takes months of hitting trees and picking apples without breaks. It saved me a lot of time. I just click things one time and it's done. These minions do things for me while I sleep and I can check every few days and replenish resources like it's a weekly.
If this was another game the farming and exploration would be more interactive and engaging, and none of the complaints you mentioned would matter.
But you're speaking like someone who either doesn't play or actual farm sims or life sims at all so who cares. XIV good, other games bad.
