Only because you've never had a system where it was enjoyable.
You're only basing your opinion off WoW clone system. Node appear in predefined locations, you get 3 pieces out of node.
Not randomly generated dungeons that have the possiblity to be turned into mines. Where resources can sometimes last and week and fuel large amount of players. Where there is a huge reason to fight over the said resources, because they are the only way to get items made.
Not setting up plantations and having to protect them from invaders, or likewise raiding another terrotories resources.
Expand the scope of your thinking.
Eve had 'ninja miners' that sneak into enemy territory late at nite to get minerals that normally wouldnt be available to them. They will sometimes bring escorts our send in scouts first to see if the systems are clear. Its bad news when they're caught!
