I never liked WoW graphics much compared to say EQ2 but actually after getting into the game I don't really mind them at all. The graphics suit the game and player base. Also good graphics can mean less variety in armor sometimes because its harder to make new sets. I think graphics are important but, to me anyway, gameplay is more important.

It is one of the reason I quit playing WoW, hated LOTRO, Darkfall and Warhammer Online.. Graphics. I also do not have issues running AoC though, and to be honest, it runs better than LOTRO. But, also the hook of AoC (the combat) makes me feel less inclined to go back to old school MMO combat, with their global refresh and slow turn based systems. I will say, WoW is a picture of stability and capability for what it offers, and for that, there is no shame on my part for playing it. I am ready for the next generation though. Interesting.
