I can play for a goal as long as I want. More time in one day. Less time (or even zero time) for the same goal in other day. But in that way I consider you can fell that you decide when to do something and how much time you spend for that something. The gates prevent this.

Timegates serve to on average:

 

- ensure people play longer.

- people burn out less.

- Adds realism to some things (growing the skyscale for example)

- transfers gold from the lazy to the playing.

 

- makes you feel presured to do everything before reset.

- breaks realism sometimes.

- annoys people who want everything as fast as possible

 

Their might be other things but from the ones i thought of their are both positive and negative
