In general I agree that game enters full release too early if you look at content. I personally thought we would have hunters and ground bashers before we move to 1.0 universe (as well as more decorative/furniture types of things, like poles already shown to us).
However, I would exclude them three from the list of what’s lacking (these features are not lacking, they are simply not part of this game concept):
No npcs, as its player content only game. Thus quests/contracts are made by players for players, and its players who create story of Boundless universe (based on very general lore - why is the ancient civilization story pretty vague? well, that allows us to be more creative and less restricted in what we do, build and how we organize ourselves).
