No one's asking for mind blowing, current generation graphics.

We're just asking for Blizzard to up the standards to what they've been putting out recently on our old, busted character models.

Look at the Vrykhul, Tuskarr, Lich King, Slyvanas, Jaina, Varian....

I don't think they bring anyone's machine to a grinding halt when they appear on screen. Why would new character models updated to their level of quality?

You aren't following your own advice as you have no idea what you're talking about.

Improving poly counts on models and implementing new components to a game engine are two entirely different things, and require a completely different set of resources.

Not to mention that BElves/Draenei and Goblins/Worgen have higher poly counts than the Vanilla Races, and I don't see the game crashing.

You can't just take a few words you've read about graphics and game design, put them in a paragraph and expect to sound intelligent.

Or even, in this case, several paragraphs.
*Puts on Grammar hat*
You change paragraphs when you change subjects. In this example, you just ranted about one topic for several paragraphs, and got it all wrong.

Lol, talk about nitpicking XD
