Only if its a toggle. If it has to be one or the other, keep the old models.
It should be optional, but it should definitely be there. I for one prefer the newer models, but I completely get why people would want to use the old ones.

Iād love for this to happen! Maybe in two years they will release a āClassic Plusā with new raids, better graphics, and more dungeons from 1-60? Who knows.
In playing the stress test I was pretty happy with the graphics, but improved graphics would be appreciated for sure!
does nobody here understand coding?
You all make it sound easy to just āadd newer models.ā Hint: it isnāt with 1.12

Yes, but please put in a check box for each race. Some of the new models are just inherently better while others are horrible. It really boils down to user preference so thereās no sound argument to win against it.
Iām not sure if the updated elemental models went in as well, but there should be options for them & similar mobs as well. (Warlock pets come to mind) Also, thereās no reason the new druid models shouldnāt be included as the original models had people complaining about them since day 1. I remember cat form had some type of model glitch with its hit box (at least the NE version); hopefully thatās long gone but would be a compelling reason to bring the new model back in.
I think we should have the option, especially since it doesnāt affect anyone but the player choosing to use new / old graphics. But I donāt think it should be something they hold up getting Classic launched on time over.
Minecraft has over 100 million units sold and is still more popular than WoW. Seems to me the people complaining about polygon counts in games are a tiny tiny minority.

Yes. All the models and textures should be updated. That may or may not include updated animations.
sure. and what about how such a toggle impacts role players?
and what about the fact that those of who want old models in retail canāt have them?
and what a bout all the bugs that the toggle had in retail?
What impact would it have on roleplayers?
I agree, I think it should be an option there, too.
Bugs can be fixed, if they are given the time.
my character in old models is grey haired and blue eyed. my rp is based on that.
you have new models toggled on and my grey haired blue eyed becomes grey haired and green eyed.
affects my RP.
I guess I donāt have an answer for that aside from thatās what TRP profiles are for. There are a plethora of things that the models arenāt able to show that end up in those, my own character included. It sucks, but thereās nothing we can do about it besides suspend a bit of disbelief and use our imaginations.
No.

im ok with updated textures
but new models are a no no
I would love the new models even if it will use the old animations.
Canāt really stand the old low pixel/polygon models.
Itās 2019, Iād like an option to flip on all new models and textures where possible.
while i can see this being a nice thing for people who rely heavily on graphics, i dont think this should be in classic, even if it only effects what you yourself see and not those around you, the updated graphics have been shown already as it is that some bushes appear that dont exists on other graphic settings and such, so on your screen you might think im hidden in this bush here. meanwhile everyones looking right at you likeā¦ is that fool legit just standing in the open flagged for pvp? im gonna go poke him with muh thunderfury.
save the updated graphics for WoW 2, the re release 
lol with unreal engine and such hahaha
Agreed.
Not looking for new models, just higher texture resolution.
This shouldnāt be too difficult to do.
I recently went to a 4K HRD monitor in my setup and live looks great but Classic looked VERY old.
Iāll live with it either way but it would be a great option to have in graphics settings.
There is no reason to not have an optional download for the newer models, even some pservers have that.
I donāt see why we shouldnāt have the option for higher res textures. Models might be a different story since they require a different skeleton and animations and wouldnāt be client side only. Although wait, in retail canāt you enable the old character models and that would only change them on the client side? Yeah if thatās the case it should be available. People saying it shouldnāt are dumb. It has no effect on their gameplay experience.
