looking for a MMO (preferably action combat)

GateOfHades

1st off: no p2p. The only game I would've considered paying monthly for was blade and soul, and It's not going to get to NA for a few years (if at all). B2P only if It's highly recommended.

2nd: must be action combat (no simple point and click games)

Games I've tried (some of which I may play again if it's recommended):

Guild wars 2

Pro's:        good population, many classes, many options for weapons, good community, mobs are sometimes part of the dungeons

con's:       not a "true" action mmo (still point and click/tab to target mostly for combat), no real endgame (too easy to get geared, and no real objectives), very few skills at a time (basically you choose a build and weapons, then do a fairly simple rotation, and most of the weapons and builds are useless)

Tera

Pro's:    action combat is good, lots of skills, good class options each of which are good in some way, good population, 

cons:  WORST COMMUNITY I'VE EVER SEEN (seriously, 90% of the playerbase either doesn't know how to play, doesn't know how to read, or is an immature *******), very long dungeon reset time (day long cooldown on dungeons you need to play multiple times to get geared, and that's just the FIRST endgame dungeon), complaints about lack of endgame, certain classes are only good in certain situations (unless you're lancer or priest), no storyline, quests suck, (normal mobs start out as the only challenge, then gradually become nothing until endgame)

Vindictus

Pro's: BEST ACTION COMBAT I'VE EVER SEEN, good community, great combat, a few good classes, good combat, AWESOME GRAPHICS, good boss fights,and did i mention AWESOME COMBAT?

Con's: almost no playerbase (very few players while leveling and endgame. we have a saying: If you're not John, Michael, Bob, or Leroy, THEN WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!. Also: everybody and their mothers are alts), made by Nexon NA (almost no customer service, quite a few bugs, and very few actually needed patches. Problem? MAKE A NEW CLASS!), servers suck (24 man raids mostly. rest are good when your host has good connection), EMPTY PVP, pay to win (either you pay to fund your gear and enchant, or spend hundreds of hours farming for gold for things that will most likely break when enchanting), sort of a holy trinity(you're either a good solo class, a good party class, or you're trash), parties sometimes require a minimal gear level (this can make some classes almost instantly useless, unless funded), grindfest, if you're lucky enough to pvp you can EASILY get downlocked or airlocked til you die, non bosses pose 0 challenge (only exception is being a slow class and mobs attack you with the boss)

Dragonnest

pro's: decent enough playerbase, good amount of skills, a few good classes, good combat

con's: PvP sucks (combo's make it really easy to downlock and airlock enemies to death, basically the first hit usually decides the match), grindfest (not too bad in certain situations), holy trinity, just about 0 direction endgame,  made by Nexon NA (almost no customer service, quite a few bugs, and very few actually needed patches. Problem? MAKE A NEW CLASS!),

 

So, does anybody have a good game suggestion, whether it was listed or not? Why would you recommend the game (if you want to specify)?

Lustmord

well, looks like you tried them all.
too bad you aren't willing to pay, Darkfall is the best MMO on the market imo.
