Three comments about albion online
one of them adds to what you said about mercs:
1. I agree with moving laborers within same island buildings, not with trading them out of it, that would really mess things up. Still, you can have laborers in cities as well, so this would make that hard to achieve since you could trade them within a city already if moving between buildings was possible.
2. Crafters: actually I get my .4 resources from either crafter laborers or chests... not from gathering them myself. So they are still somewhat useful alone for this in intermediate tiers. I think it is somewhat unfair to gatherers. I would rather find them in the open world more often, and I don't mean in chests. People who focus on gathering are at the biggest disadvantage here. They get beaten in finding .4 by the crafter laborers and chest hunters, a bit weird.
3. My merc laborers are currently tier 6, I am filling t5 and t4 books only as of now for them, they return 150% both tiers due to good amount of trophies. Still I get more money back when I hand them t4 books, even though those are much easier to fill. As you said yourself, thats messed up.

Why your spell descriptions need a rework
I am comparing the descriptions of the Force Field (FF) Spell on the Mage Cowl on the left with the Arcane Orb (AO) Spell on the Arcane Staff on the right.

Albion Online is not rewarding enough
While i only can tell from my experience with AO since Veteran final beta launch, there are already the signs of demise with this game as well.

So Albion claims to have no class system as well
The main difference between Albion Online und UO is now that in Albion Online you don´t have a system in which you can combine that much different aspecs of fighting to give yourself a tactical advantage against someone else with equal gear - and in no way you can "outskill" alone VS more than one player with equal gear.

There are no viable passives for arcane mage playstyle
The problem with this playstyle at the moment is that it hugely lacks synergy with nearly every single passive on the game... even the great arcane staffs passives are borderline useless as they provide cast speed or energy regeneration.

What To Build On Your Island In Albion Online
Having an island and filling it up with buildings is one of the coolest aspects of Albion Online and we feel it does not get the attention that it deserves.
