how come the clipping is so bad in this game compared to other games I've played? Why can't SE do like they do?
Cause having long hair is like something I really been hoping for

Because not everyone has a computer to run a game with that kind of physics. I don't even talk about the Ps3 that already has trouble to run the game.
To be fair, I've played a lot of MMO's and haven't found a single one devoid of clipping issues yet. Everything from World of Warcraft to DC Universe Online has its fair share of them simply because you can't have a catch-all solution which has the fine control needed to cover all circumstances.
Tera outfits change your hairstyle if the armor model goes around your neck/hair, making your hairstyle into short stance. It didn't really help to take out all the clipping, but it helped to get rid of major clipping issues if your armor was really big.To be fair, I've played a lot of MMO's and haven't found a single one devoid of clipping issues yet.

That's not really 'fixing' the problem so much as it is avoiding it, which is pretty much what SE is doing by not adding very long hairstyles.
I'd personally love some longer styles, and apparently so would the graphics designer as noted in an interview, but there are technical issues which need to be addressed to make it work. Not least of all, longer styles wouldn't flow as well with character movements.
Making the physics for hair to detect a surface and be clip-proof is very complex and would require a powerful computer to even run it decently. In the future they may be able to implement long hair without clipping for high end rigs. I don't even know of any single player games that have long haired characters with no clipping issues.
Even Tomb Raider has clipping issues with and without TressFX, and it arguably has the best hair (well, physics at the very least) in any game to my knowledge.
