Is it me or does Pantheon look like crap?

Yes, but by people talking about it, he means forum people. Visionary Realms have repeatedly said that Pantheon will not feature a cash shop.

After adding nameplates and debuff icons under mobs they might as well add a cash shop because that already ruins the "spirit of EQ" feel to it. And thats really the only thing that would have made it different from every other MMO. Because its not like acclimation or the perception system is anything special (or the combat) because its just like an achievement popup that tells you when to look for secrets. Not sure why they felt the need to add that instead of just putting secrets in the game for us to discover on our own. Well I think I know why but its a dumb reason.

I guess its good that they wont include instances and still require corpse runs. If they stick to that. But all they had to do was make good feeling combat like classic WoW except with more abilities so its not watered down with a low skill cap, then have a minimal UI with no target rings, telegraphs, nameplates or other garbage, and put secrets and corpse runs in the game. And no instances. That's literally the recipe for an MMO that will save the genre. Besides some other nuance systems that I came up with to prevent end game stagnation and bottleneck camps like "sidegrades", that I won't go into.
