Progression is way too slow imo. Resource gathering is one thing, but having workstations locked behind merchants, and more "side" quest, and more gathering. You might as well start hording everything until it is needed. Loot refreshes when you exit to main menu and come back. So if an area is abundant in a specific resource you just log in and out to farm it.

Another thing is that leveling and skill tree wise, nothing changes too drastically. An example would be the healer path where the skill nodes are basically just a healing aura that heals about 5-8hp per second and burst heal & hp buff to allies WHEN YOU DIE...
Combat wise, you basically fight the same way since lv 1—where you just spam attacks and occasionally throw out a spell or two. The standard enemies are annoying and just boring to fight. Early game bosses, also boring.

My progress 10 hours in... a wooden house.
