Unfortunately crafting is here to stay.  It was in Ultima Online, 
Everquest etc.  Original City of Heroes didn't have any but of course 
they added it, and the Homecoming revival does, though I didn't find it 
too onerous.

That's pretty much all I can ask for anymore, crafting that isn't too 
annoying.  IIRC Fallout '76 isn't bad, it's not a fantasy MMO though. 
Warframe's not bad (though grinding eventually becomes so, but you got a 
good 6-9 months before I found it too annoying.)

Even with crafting it can be avoided in most if not all of them, just 
grind for money/items and pay someone for their crafting.  That's what 
makes it an MMO.
