Seems the Aventurine guys "wish" to make a game with the more advanced crafting & economy:

All items in game are Craftable
Materials and Final producs can not be mailed and have to be manually transported
Full looting system in a "no-safe zone" enviroment (if you die, everything will be looted off ya)
Player shops, where the NPC does the selling

A player driven economy ? Fight for resources ? .. sounds like EVE Online

Some quotes that make me suspect a SWG style crafting:

What types of items can I make?
You will be able to make almost every item found in the world like weapons, tools, armor, clothing, food, containers, furniture, jewelry etc.

Can players make magical items?
Darkfall features an extremely sophisticated item creator, which will enable players to create powerful items, like weapons, jewelry, armor, wands, potions, food and more.
We have invested a lot of time and design resources into creating the ultimate player based economy. Players who enjoy trading and crafting will truly enjoy Darkfall’s virtually limitless item creator system, something never before seen in a MMORPG.


How do I get the resources I need to make items?
You can gather the resources you need from hunting, or from mining the specific resource. You could also buy them from a vendor or another player.


What different crafts buildings are there?
There’s a smithy, a workshop, an alchemist shop, a herbalist’s shop and the mage guild.

Do you know what i smell?

GRIND!

Yes. Farm this for 100x of this item to be able to craft 10 of this, to be one tenth on the way for the weapon you want. Wich you're going to loose after three hours anyway. Just my kind of game!

lol

Well i think you guys are wrong about the grinding part unfortunently :( .. i wouldnt mind the old time grinding with 100% player driven economy ... think they said something about harvesting NPC's .. i dont know, not alot revealed about it, and i belive it dosnt have a drop of L2 in it either, not even they'r karma system. Think its more towards SWG/SB/UO way, but lets not forget ... Its an "unknown" company making it .. as in its they'r first and we all know the good old Dark and Light :)
