A bit disappointed / Overall too tedious (sort of)

Hello.
Please be lenitent, not native.
Bare that's just from my perspective and i'm pretty sure i didn't understood how AoC is meant to be play.
So, after roughly 8/10h in game i'm feeling somewhat exausted.
I mean, as a PVEr i felt a bit lost, as per lack of driven.
After a bunch of (pretty shallow tbf) quest I found myself squattering around with no real meaning, just lumbering & mining randomly.
The feeling that gathering activities left me were too tedious, outrageously too much time consuming (and professions, jeez, 5/10min IRL to process something? No, tysm but this is not what I mean for "entartaining") and pretty much everything else (that I should have still learning) I have no genuine clue where to find them ...unless it will involve wandering around even more randomly.
The map wasn't really of any help just to have any breif understanding to where the "important things" are.
Movements & combat mechanics are... decent to say the most but nothing really refreshing.
The thought that strucked me was "Oh for fluff sake... not another "Albion"! Not another "fresh new MMO" with the same vibes as the least 20 years", 'cause for a 2024/2025 game I genuinely felt it a bit outdated.
I didn't really had any great "expectation" regarding AoC but it would have been nice to have something truly "new", at least once in a while but again maybe it's just me that i'm the wrong kind of audience.
I get it's still WiP & maybe some aspects will be revised but as a new player I don't feel compelled to come back, at least for now.
Nontheless I wish other players will enjoy it.

A few things will be added and fleshed out, but the core gameplay loop won't go too far from what we have rn.
