Doesn’t matter.

Are you aware that they’re rebuilding Classic on the BFA engine? I don’t see what’s the outrage about people asking for there to be a graphics option to opt for the newer graphics rather than the old ones, since it’s already not a 100% pure vanilla experience, otherwise it’d be on a 4:3 aspect ratio and running on what, Direct x9? Such an option would only affect things for one side of the screen, meaning it doesn’t affect them at all.
If you’d be a real purist you would refuse to play Classic because it’s not vanilla for a myriad reasons, so the “Go play BFA if you don’t want Classic exactly as I say it should be” doesn’t hold up.

I think it’s also fair to say that there are those who don’t care if a toggle option is available, which if available, does not come at the cost of any advantage over older graphics, impact other players experience or gameplay, or cause technical hurdles/problems to the overall health of the game.

Thank you for putting this out there.
Why would anyone care which one I prefer to see on my monitor?
All I’m saying.

Is it still not clear? No one cares for what u want!

And you will never know what your character looks like to everyone around you unless you’re constantly asking other players to describe your appearance.

but i will know that some of the players would be seeing my character as a new model and some new models are totally different as that night elf comparison in post above shows.
First day on the forums after quite some time and I’m already tired of you spamming that over and over, despite those words making not much sense given the actions of what they’ve done and the product they’ve shown on the demo. I pity that you appear incapable of having intelligent discussion and you’re forced to reduce yourself to spam a text that’s vague at best.
I’m pretty sure your concept of “real vanilla” will mean something quite different than Ythisens’.
That’s a pretty serious stretch as far as reasons go to not have this option.
Edit: Other players may be playing the game on the minimum graphics specs, and everything might look crappy and choppy. Are you worried about that?

Well yeah, having two sets of eyebrows is pretty unique I guess.

well i encountered this back in the everquest mmorpg. after the third expac, they decided to update the models and ended up with totally different models. the community split down the middle and the devs decided to give the toggle solution. problem was, the two model types were entirely different, in some cases, so much so, it was shocking, as if it were an entirely different game with new races. and though many of the new wow models look similar to their predecessors, there are many cases where the differences are big enough to be a problem.
And how would that impact you exactly?
If you knew I was using updated graphics, could we still be friends? Could we still run dungeons together?
I sure would hope so.

I really like the new models, so I understand why some may want this…but as others have said, we already have retail. Let Classic be Classic.

yes we would but if i didnt like how the new model appearance looked, i’d feel forced into modifying my original choice so people who were using new models could see a character i actually approved of. whereas in a shared common environment, i can just select once and not worry someone can toggle my character to look in some way i prefer not to look. i mean why give me the option if someone else can be given the option to change my choice.
Would it be better for you if you could select your appearance for both versions if this were to hypothetically be an option?
Why do you care what other people see so much? Just make the character YOU want to see.
Fair enough. But just remember that I’m not trying to change the way YOU, Hyperspace, looks.
Dude, you could look like Roseanne Barr and I wouldn’t care. Just like Vanilla, it’s about what’s under the hood that counts to me.
