Albion is a full loot MMO which is starting its final closed alpha on the 26th. The main draw of the game is that the developers are distinctly not dogshit. They sit around (and respond!!!) in IRC all day, and what gets discussed seems to be well thought out.
You have to buy a founder pack ($50/$100) for access, and you also get a few items but you can just loot the higher tier ones off baddies anyway. There are also a couple of raffles (see below) on the forums for keys.
The game is attracting players from Darkfall, GW WvW, UO, etc due to their similarities, so competition should be pretty solid.
Their homepage is https://albiononline.com/ if you're interested!

#2: I've not played it myself but I've heard from friends that it plays like a moba. The crafting is prolly fairly similar tho
#3: No but you can buy vanity gear and (hopefully) insignificant bonuses

This looks pretty cool, definitely have my eye out on it now.

It looks really cool but I'm worried that since the game is being made available for Android/iOS it's going to have incredibly simple mechanics.

I honestly couldn't get into a pvp-focused mmo

I find that games which are built on simple mechanics (such as TF2 5 years ago) lead to interactions based on intelligent use of the mechanics, and are more interesting than games which try to make everything as complex as possible (such as TF2 now).

Why on earth do people pay money to play unfinished games that have no promise of turning out any good, or even worse, no promise of being finished period?
The raffles are cool I guess and the game seems neat but I will never understand or respect peoples' decision to continue supporting this "early access" model.

Even though I agree with most of what you said, some developers really can't make their game without the early acces support (games such as reflex) and people paying for it made the developers quit their jobs to work fulltime on the game.
But supporting the 27th zombie survival game or some weird minecraft clone that's on early acces is indeed idiotic.

So it's been almost a year, anyone actively playing it? Should I buy it?

Please, how have the mechanics of tf2 changed in the past 7 years?
