Why are the graphics so incredibly bad and ugly? Just started this game and man its an eyesore to look at.

Gears of war, a game from 2006 has better graphics. Modern wow has much better graphics and that's a game from 2004, though pantheon does look better than old wow.

This game looks so outdated and ugly to modern standards. Like two decades outdated.

Why is that? What were they thinking? Current gen MMO's look far FAR better and this game is still nowhere near complete.
