The launcher is a Java application. So, let's make sure you have it installed, enabled, and updated
To Enable Java
Firefox
•Open the Firefox browser or restart it, if it is already running
•From the Firefox menu, select Tools, then click the Add-ons option
•In the Add-ons Manager window, select Plugins
•Click the Java Applet Plug-in (Mac OS X) to select it
•Check that the option selected is Ask to Activate or Always Activate or on older Firefox versions, click on the Enable button (if the button says Disable, Java is already enabled)
Safari
•Click on Safari and select Preferences
•Choose the Security option
•Select Allow Plug-ins, then click on Manage Website Settings
•Click on the Java item, select an option (Ask, Allow or Allow Always) from the pulldown list when visiting other websites
•Click Done, then close the Safari Preferences window.
To Update Java:
•Launch the Java Control Panel by clicking the Java Icon under System Preferences.
•Go to the Update tab in Java Control Panel and click on the Update Now button that brings up the Installer window.
•Click on Install Update
•Once the installation is completed, the Java application will be relaunched.
If the Java application does not relaunch, manually relaunch so you can take advantage of the latest Java
If you need to reinstall Java here is how to do that:
•Download the jre-7u6-macosx-x64.dmg file here: https://java.com/en/download/
•Review and agree to the terms of the license agreement before downloading the file.
•Double-click the .dmg file to launch it
•Double-click on the package icon to launch the install Wizard
•The Install Wizard displays the Welcome to Java installation screen. Click Continue.
•On Standard Install on Macintosh HD, Click the Install button
•After the installation has completed, a confirmation screen appears. Click Close to finish the installation process.
Test Installation: To test that Java is installed and working properly on your computer, run this test applet: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

Pretty sad that we even have to go through these steps to install an MMO in the year 2015, but nontheless, thank you Vroon as this solved my problem as well.
Do better devs! Do better!

On second thought, this makes an absolute mess of the file directories and seeing I'm trying to install this on an SSD with limited space, I think I'll skip the game for now and go back to the other MMO I was playing. Thanks anyhow Vroon.
So frustrating and so much fail, Zenimax. /facepalm
Call me when you guys get this issue resolved.
