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.

Albion Online seems to be lacking the play / counter play part of PvP
At the moment, we have but a single utility role within Albion Online: The Healer, and you can say what you like about the levelling of them, when it comes to fights – these guys can turn the tide.

Albion Online Spell Indicators
I think just about anyone that uses anything with a skill shot can show you this. If you shoot a skill shot your character will take a small stutter step in that direction. What used to be an instant cast skill shot is now a .5s delayed skill that forces to to run in unwanted directions.

Albion Idea for Guild Vs Guild Warfare
How guild size impacts how you play should be scalable. This means a larger guild just has more of the same thing, not access to more content. This scaling can be introduced in the form of Influence.

Seeing Gold And Silver Prices In Albion Online
When it comes to being in the game you can see the highest price it has gone for, lowest price and of course the average price. Now to be fair to the folks at Sandbox Interactive, we feel that for most people this is more than enough information.

Albion was the intention to have a PvP game
The game is brilliant until now. I liked the gathering, the crafting, the building, the leveling, hell even the farming.
