I dunno, graphics really help with the character-building RP aspect alot of the time
if you don’t RP though shrug

Nope, I don’t, though I dabble on the forums and wonder sometimes if it’s something I could enjoy.
But I think it’s basically unarguable that graphics are the least part of an MMORPG.
I would rather have wow graphics instead of eso where I have a loading screen Everytime I enter a building.

ESO’s graphics just underwhelm me. It’s not that they aren’t detailed, the visual asthetic is just awful.

Oh, I’m not suggesting that WoW graphics aren’t good enough, quite the contrary.
I’m suggesting that what makes WoW great isn’t graphics.
It’s a component, but it’s a different statement to make than “people don’t play for graphics”
I like WoW’s graphics. But I’m looking forward to playing Pantheon with its graphics for a change of pace.
No, I’m being deliberate. Nobody plays WoW because of the graphics.
They never did, they never will.
I’m looking forward to it flopping a month into its lifespan.
I’m nobody then, I guess. This game blew my mind back in the day.

Character, armor, and weapon design is a major criteria point for me to play an mmo

WoW’s cartoony graphics have a real charm to them. Other ‘better’ graphic systems almost invariably fall flat once they get dated or something better comes along. Not saying WoW can’t improve or hasn’t already but a lot of other engines just kinda…look trash after a while or just don’t work for a big flashy game to me.

Okay, let me put this another way- nobody plays WoW because it has the “best” graphics.
Yes, WoW has iconic graphics. That will never be “improved” with HD.
Yeah, Fashion Wars 2 is a big exception since transmog and style is a legitimate and huge part of the game’s experience.
the graphics certainly help, but they won’t save a game. a game with great graphics and horrid gameplay won’t last, but a game with great gameplay and bad graphics can.

They sure can by them deciding to finally hop on the “armor is made of polygons” wagon that left st.louis for the oregon trail about 12 years ago.

Yes, that’s what I’m getting at.
What qualifies as bad graphics anyway? Do you mean objectively bad graphics where the style or execution is awful, or subjectively bad graphics like “I hate sprites”.
A game with swg graphics coming out now.
