Everyone has their style. Some want to play the trade market and sell off what they don't want/need for profit. Then you have the packrats like myself who hoard materials until the bank is full because you just never know what you may need down the road. Sometimes its good to be cautious.

Yea but that’s done by force...by the devs, people who claim there is nothing to do then that’s on them. Forcing people who don’t like timegates but wold still take their time anyways is not a good thing(I’ll say imo). So you’re fine for it not being a problem for you there is nothing wrong with that, but something I’ve yet to see is why it’s a good/needed addition. So far it’s just their to do nothing or to annoy people. As an above person said it could be to keep people on the map longer which is a fair conclusion, yet the map itself is good IMO, it didn’t need a timegate to keep me and people who actually like the game to stay longer in it. The mount itself is not a required aspect of the game. You're not forced to unlock it so you can progress the story or even do the map. So what purpose does it serve to make players feel as though they have to have the mount on the first day? If that were the case then I could see the argument for hindering progress but as it is its an unnecessary perk.

I am 1000% fine with the timegate. All people seem to want to do anymore is rush through content so they can get that first reaction and then bitch and whine about not having anything to do for the next 3-4 months. Take your time and enjoy the time and effort the devs put in rather than speeding through.

Structurally, the Ranger isn't too bad but, speaking as someone who prefers to main Ranger types, it just lacks that wow factor. Almost everything about the class seems bland and uninspired. Not really sure what I would suggest to fix it though. Maybe if the next elite spec gave the Ranger a bit more of a geomancer flair? Perhaps a shield, focus (totem), or staff for the next weapon
