I also played for a few hours before I crashed and I guess that bricked my character. My take is it would be a really good Alpha for a game that has been in development for a couple of years, not so much for one that is on 8
Bard was pretty fun and didnt really have any problems you mentioned other than the talents seem pretty obviously set up for you to have to respec on the fly between solo/small group and full group which will be a huge pain the ass but otherwise the class dynamic and combat seemed fine (outside the Guild Wars roll which I will hate in every game that has it) provided they work out mob pathing and their server stuff
It's just...everything else. Bare bones
edit: I made a Tank on the EU server and it was a better experience as there were less players there. It needs a lot of work although the core game is not broken. The only non-mount quest (because having to do that on every new character...ugh) I remember was a decently creative explore one and your reward for doing it...97xp. I guess if you want to be optimistic, the stuff they havent done can fall into place quickly and theyre *close* to being there with the stuff that matters but those last hurdles are gonna be difficult and ultimately the project probably depends on how long it takes them to clear em
I agree they probably cut down the map/mail in some areas (think Silithus at WoW release) and push it out early. The question is when they decide to do that and how far along they are at that point. If they get one continent done and push it out in 2 years? They have a chance. But I would not bet on that
