The routine when you log in takes almost a half hour and is super expensive. I know money comes easy and it should now that I'm max level and still have 3 zones to explore but the time sink to keep up your garrison vs. exploration doesn't allow for a casual experience.

Problem was I was still questing in the low level zones so I wasn't getting any gear of the right ilevel. Wasn't until a garrison mission earned an appropriate gear reward that I dinged.

Bah, failed the shipyard mission at 92% for my agility heirloom ring. I assume I will get another chance at this(?).
