Sounds like Star Citizen would be up your street too.
Wow, crafting seems awesome:
Alchemist: Collects plants and mushrooms to create potions which can be used in combat. Alchemists have to match ingredients with desirable properties to brew the best potions.
Enchanter: Gathers runestones inscribed with words in a mysterious language from obelisks throughout the world. Runestones can be combined to create glyphs, which add enchantments to weapons, armor, and jewelry.
Provisioner: Collects grains, broth, meat, and other ingredients to create food and drink that provide long-lasting beneficial effects. Provisioners need to find high-quality ingredients to make the best food and drink.
Smiths: There are three types of smiths:
Woodworker: Uses wood to make shields, staves, and bows.
Blacksmith: Forges heavy armor and metal weapons from various ores.
Clothier: Harvests fibrous plants and uses animal hides to make light and medium armor.
All smiths make use of the following resources:
Raw materials – The ores, plants, hides, or wood that define the item’s level range (amount determines exact level)
Style components – A special item that defines the product’s racial style (Redguard, Bosmer, etc.)
Trait components (optional) – Add traits to the item
Smiths must research traits for specific types of gear to be able to add them to the gear they create.
Smiths can create booster items called tannins, tempers, or resins (depending on the crafting skill). These allow players to improve the quality of an item and they are tradable, so no one can run off with your awesome, upgraded bow!
Using a booster does not guarantee that the target item will be improved. Using multiple boosters increases the chance of a successful upgrade. If the attempt fails, the item and boosters are destroyed. However, 100% success can be ensured by using enough boosters.
All smiths can deconstruct raw materials and items to recover style components, trait components, and tempers, tannins, or resins.
Special crafting stations can be discovered throughout the world. When a smith uses one of these stations, he or she can create items that are part that station’s set. Items in sets confer bonuses that increase based on how many items in that set a character is wearing. Set gear cannot be enchanted, but it can be imbued with traits.
Resource nodes for gathering materials are now active in the world.

Bethesda own the rights and Zenimax own Bethesda. Which is why both are listed.
Where are these games? I've been looking for years.
So as you've admit they are probably still in development. So thats 1 issues resolve already.
Ok so your complaining about place holder voice overs, which SWTOR had in beta and where replaced on release. You also say something is missing but don't actually say what?
Ok, crafting isn't for everyone. I personally think the crafting is going to get more complex the more you progress. Different grade quality of gems to make the different race weapons, trait skills, secret hidden forges around the world to craft at with there own unique buffs to items.
I would say this is true, but its a MMO, people want classes. It helps them decide, it helps them pick a progression route.
There is a short text video that explains everything to do with the opening mission. As an introduction to controls and combat i think it does it very well.
So just like SWTOR and GW2 to some degree, AoC also? So the failing isn't the game, its the idea.
Its new, what do you expect? ESOhead.com with all the quests listed?
I don't think its amazing, but i don't think its terrible either.
Sub games are always better then F2P crap.
Uninstalled...please don't hate me Latex !!!!
I'll stick to playing Rift, Aion, Tera, Lotro, SWToR and GW2(okay it costs £20 but mine was free).
I used to think Sub was best until I found out it wasn't.
Heh i don't hate you.
But please point me to a F2P game thats better at launch? That wasn't previously a sub game.
good good, but surely it's not about whether they were sub or not on release?
Yes the one's I play started off with a sub but my first impressions proved favorable and because of the fundamental gameplay and style they all kept me entertained.
On release, if it proves a success and people who I know enjoy it maybe I'll consider it but for now it doesn't make my belly fizz
You have to compare apples to apples and not to oranges.
If your comparing a F2P game at launch with a P2P game at launch, its an unfair comparison to both of the games.
To be objective, you need to compare P2P with P2P at launch.
Personally i'd argue possibly Rift was better at launch and that was P2P.
If you think the game is rubbish, at least explain WHY, don't just brandish it as a pile of crap and spread that as fact. Sorry not speaking of you personally.
As a £30 investment for a month of entertainment i think its very worth the money. Now is it worth a sub fee, personally no at this point in time.

I care because people quickly dismiss games and brandish them as crap for no other reason then 'because'. It almost seems hipster to hate on new MMO's before either giving them a chance or because you joined the band wagon.
If a MMO is terrible, explain WHY! At least give people the opportunity to see if its your opinion or a mechanic that you do not understand or what ever. People use forums like these as a guide to game purchases, if they see 100 people say "this games crap", do you think that person will buy it? It could be simply that them 100 people don't understand something and they then have damaged the reputation of a game.
The MMO industry is extremely toxic, people get early access, judge the game upon beta and compare it against games 2-5 years in the market. But they can't see how flawed and broken this actually is. Because of that flawed logic, they then tell forums like these, reddit, friends and family about how bad the game is and it spreads like wildfire.
I'm not saying that if a game is truly terrible to encourage people to buy it, but in the case of MMO's give them more then 10mins before you tell the entire world how crap the game is because of no other reason then the animations are poor.
Emjay for example spent 4 hours in ESO, listed a load of reason why they didn't like it and hoped it helped people in not buying the game. Now please anyone tell me what MMO you can play and experience enough of the game in 4 hours? MMO's take hours upon hours of investment and its almost like people have completely forget this fact.
