Maybe its just me, but am I the only one who doesnt like realistic graphics? Like with starcraft 2... I always liked playing on the lowest settings just cause I enjoyed it when it looked simple and non-realistic. Just looking at the thumbnail for upcoming MMOs (EQ:N most recently) and seeing really good graphics kinda turns me away from it.. Id rather play something with very simple graphics but maybe thats just because of nostalgia... Ive always loved the art/graphics of Mario.. its simple and doesnt try to make it feel like real life.
On topic for WoW... I cant say that I "miss" it having worse graphics, since i started at the end of wrath, but vanilla/bc just looks more fun purely based on it...
hopefully its not just me that feels this way :/
