'But they can just play on low graphics.' Blizzard tends to hate developing stuff that small portions of their playerbase use.
WoW already runs like shit without a great CPU, considering the fact a giant portion of the playerbase plays on laptops, shitty pcs from 2008 and imacs, improving the graphics would instantly shut this portion of their consumers out of their product.

Hop on a holy paladin and cast some flash of lights or holy lights, then hop on a holy priest and cast some flash heals and prayer of healings.ī. Toggle 'old models' in the system settings and compare the new to old. Look at trees in elewyn forest and compare them to trees in val sharah.
Water used to be nothing more than a flat surface that looked like tinfoil, not it has ripples and waves and shit. Shadows used to be nothing more than dark circles below your feet, now they're fully dynamic.
