I'm buying the expansion for the new content and raids. People who buy WoD because models get renewed are wasting their time..
I 100% agree, to say they cant do another race or class because they are working on models and then not have them ready by launch?
Sheer laziness imo. They have worked on these for Years! Years already!

I both agree and disagree, yes they will be wasting their time seeing as Blizz cannot seem to do anything in time in these days. And disagree because it is pumped up by their pr as a Massive feature for the expansion, and so should have it fully done by launch.
I'm not expecting them all to be done. But I would rather have the expansion go live than for it to be delayed only because they didn't get around to finishing race x.
I'd be happy to see them all finished and ready to go by expansion launch, sure! Even the races that I don't play (I adore the new gnome models; gnomes always make me want to hug them because they're so adorable, but I can't see myself playing one).
But I'm actually not expecting them to have Draenei ready, for example. That's the race that matters to me the most.
I'll be just a tiny bit disappointed, but not too much. I'm not going to get into some nerdrage.
(I am however very glad that we won't be getting a new race or class this time around. For some reason, I don't like new classes anyway. And new races... come on, we already have so many and only just got Pandaren to play with. Rather make our existing stuff pretty).

It's weird how I watched all the Warcraft panels during Blizzcon and didn't hear them say that this is one of the key features of the game. It's the dumbass players who blow this completely out of proportion and don't treat a trivial cosmetic update as a trivial cosmetic update. God, they even made a art panel completely dedicated to models and what goes into creating them, literally the most concrete evidence possible to explain why these things take time AND PEOPLE STILL DO NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND.
Updates that aren't discardable after the first few seconds like raids, dungeons, zones and quests should be ten times higher on the priority lists than something as silly as character models arriving all at once.
It's an interesting feature. I'm amazed at the work they've added to the models, and I hope it gets extended to Azeroth, too. It'd be nice to see detailed dwarves roaming all around Khaz Modan. I had some good times in that area of the Eastern Kingdoms.
Isn't it ironic how education is important, yet people forget all about it when they visit the internet?
I'd be so pissed mainly due to the fact that it was one of the expansions tagline features. Entice us with shiny new character models then spit in our faces when we buy your game to look at them?
I appreciate that it takes a while, but introducing it as (let's face it) a replacement for a new playable race and not even being able to make good on your word is just insulting.
well it's one of the main features of the xpac if they don't upgrade all the models (gobs and worgs aside) i will be very disappointed.
