Albion is grind for xp to lvl up, mostly red/black dungeons and instanced expedition dungeons Fractured is exploring for knowledge to develop your character horizontaly instead of lvling up. Like a MOBA a veteran player has more options to tune their character then a new player. But their power is almost the same. In Albion there is a powergap between tiers of gear. In Fractured different gear is situational instead of simply more powerfull. Main difference to me.
