For instances and raiding they show how some of the encounters work ( for example a boss doing earthquake and the party having to avoid etc). PvP, where it takes place and why, as well as some clips of he battle zone and people fighting. At the very end they specifically say how those are the BASICS of the game and how it will function.

I love ARR but the amount of basic things we dont know when the game will be out around the same time as ESO is kind of ridiculous at this point. We have had patience since August of last year, i dont that argument is valid anymore. Again i want to finish off by stating that i say all of this with the upmost respect for everyone working on it and Yoshi-P himself.
This^. In the very first video they showed the direction of the game, the PvP goals, the server structure, how the PvE works (dynamic combat with things to avoid, etc. while in every ARR released video the players just stand on the place.. 0 movements required, and in the era of action games, that's not a good marketing) .

All that in the first 9 min. video. But ppl here, just prefer to defend the SE politics: less you know better is. :/

Guys if you keep saying it's early for this kind of information i'm asking for, i'm sorry to say but you don't know how much about mmo's (without offense ofcourse, but most ppl here just played XI and XIV.. )

The basic information (foundations, ideas, or call anyhow you want) are given when a game is announced.. Look TESO first video.
Other examples: From GW2 announcement you knew that it will have RvR massive PvP, dynamic combat, innovative PvE without class trident etc etc.
SWTOR: great and always voice acting story lines, classic WoW style combat, and so on.

For XIV we're almost in beta and we don't know anything on pvp, anything on character development like revamped job system, any spec/build system (are we gonna to be again all clones with 0 customization like 1.0 ? )?

It's pretty ridicolous that you know more about the direction of a game "just announced" like TESO, then ARR.
