Well we get a more honest stream if not from hand picked people.
Like if a normal streamer is playing a game,he won't hesitate to say THIS SUCKS,example when Angry Joe streams games.
I will still watch,usually these streams from ANY game are not very good for a simple reason i will explain.
A streamer streaming a game is doing what,yeah streaming it for THE VIEWERS.You watch most not all but most streamers on Twitch and they are too busy saying thanks to donations and bits and subs.MOST streamers have VERY poor interaction with their viewers,we need to hear and understand what is going on we don't just want to watch someone play a video game.

So HOPEFULLY this first streamer gives us an educated look see at the game design/play.

It's not a review, it's a stream of development "at this point in time."

We don't need any little boys or girls going off the handle because they think the game is finished and they want to give their opinions.

Wait until it's finished, then we can have the "honest streams."

Interesting tibits from the streams, if you don't feel like watching them all. 

- There will be no sharding of zones.

- There may be phasing (ala WoW) in small, specific circumstances, but it's not currently planned. Thinks phasing is fine if done right.

- Raid size is being developed currently for different targets being 12 and 24 man raids. 40 man raids still might be in the plans as well

- They will not be doing different challenge versions of the same raid in terms of difficulty or number cap. 

- Says the Shaman is the "Bard" of the healing classes almost to the point of being a support class. Lots of synergy with other classes, specifically "drenching" the mobs and allowing the Druid and Wizard to use their lightning and shock abilities to enhanced effect. That is just one example. They also primarily heal through HoTs.

- Shaman debuffs such as Slow last 90 seconds. Shaman buffs such as Haste or Stat buffs are 24 and 36 minutes. 

- Shaman have quite a few combo type abilities where if "X" ability is on the target and they cast "Y" ability, than a greatly improved and sometimes new result "Z" will occur. 

- Stressed individual customization options within the same class by choosing to focus on specific stats that enhance specific abilities and playstyles. Example given was that on his Enchanter, Joppa focuses on whichever stat (Charisma?) helps extend his mez abilities, but by focusing on that stat, his mana regen abilities are lower than what other Enchanters tend to do. Mentioned that Clerics have a similar difficult choice in focusing on Wisdom or pure Hit Points as many of their abilities are based off their own maximum health. Also stressed that not all players of a particular class will have the same abilities or spells, many are quested and/or difficult to discover or find as loot. 

- Joppa considers himself to be a PvP fanatic from Sullen Zek. Stresses he is focused on making Pantheon a quality PvP option. Still clarifies that PvE is first and foremost though.
