ofc you like it because you are 12 old kid or 12 years old boomer inside. The game graphics for wow sucks lets be honest here 
So your point is that upgrading the graphics is a complete waste of time because they provide nothing to the gameplay?
Alright, glad we cleared that up. You can move on now.

Well, imagine being called a dumbass by somebody that can’t even read.
My response was to Bullsterz with whom I had an argument with earlier: as can be seen in this thread.
Go home Uaga, you’re drunk.
Trying to delete your post after I’ve already quoted it doesn’t help you, little Uaga.

This.
Graphic oriented people makes me cringe dont know why.
Have a look here:
This would indeed be awesome as an option!
New mounts/character models and even many mobs seems to be compatible with old wotlk client. TBC will run on retail client, ofc Blizz can do it. None of this effect gameplay and are optional.
I’m not particularily against a graphical update, I just don’t see how blizzard would ever get around doing it.
Check the post above, if the old wotlk client are compatible with legion/wod mounts/character and monster models why wouldnt the “RETAIL TBC client” be?
compatible doesn’t mean it’s plug’n’play
Sure but if modders can do it, I dont think it would be a huge effort for Blizzard.
you misunderstand. blizzard si looking for minimal to no effort because the classic project doesn’t affect retail.
if this is anything more than minimal effort, it’s not going to happen because management says so.
Where have you read this?
As far as we know, its the same butchered legion engine that Classic runs on, that will be used for TBC classic.
They said that classic layed the groundwork for an easier TBC Classic creation, back in Classic development, which implies TBC classic will run on the same engine as Classic.
First of all, classic is not running on legion client but BFA client. This got confirmed at Blizzcon. They also mentioned they believe TBC will run on SL client. Hence why the ray-tracing question came up on Blizzcon as well. They said “maybe” to the ray-tracing question.

Funny, during classic development, it was said it was the legion client that was being used (which is the same as BFA ans SL runs on btw, the “newer” wow engine)
“The client is based on a fork of the 7.3.5 Legion client - seems this was updated to a fork of 8.0”

Yep, but that was early news. It changed at some point.
It seems it started as Legion and recieved updates from 8.0 (BFA) as well.
So it makes sense that it also recieves updates from 9.0, but is kept in a seperate fork for the classic games.
Blizzard already showed what happened when they update old things. They ruined Orgrimmar. And most of the new character models lost their original charm. So nope!

I have seen this question several times and I think you don’t grasp the real complexity behind such apparently “trivial” change. The problem is that new models are attached to their corresponding new animations which, in their turn, are attached to their new spells and sounds which are very different from the spells and sounds that we had in classic and TBC, or at least they were the last time I played retail some years ago.
So it turns out that this apparently “simple” change is not simple at all and requires a fair amount of work. I am not saying it can’t be done, I am saying that it might not be worth doing it from Blizzard’s point of view because at the end of the day most of us will play the game regardless anyway so, why bother?
Make BELFS weapon bigger, that is a change i would get behind
Are you stupid? The legion/WOD models works with old WOTLK client from 2008. For many years you could toggle the new vs old model and has nothing to do with skill animations. facepalm
Sorry, stupid? I was going to make an effort to ignore your manners and respectfully explain to you why you are wrong and how much wrong you are but after thinking about it for a little while I have decided to leave it there because I have tried to be reasonable with people like you in the past and it has never worked so, never mind mate. Some say that ignorance is bliss, and I don’t want to take your bliss away from you.
