WoW will never require a graphical overhaul

A huge reason I couldn’t get into World of Warcraft was the look. It’s old and dated to me, even with the hardcore community continually telling me “its the style!”, I just can’t justify purchasing it and paying to play. Anyway there are much better looking titles which cost me $0 to indulge in. Maybe the game would appeal to me would there be a graphical overhaul of the title. A WoW2 perhaps?

Secretly I know most of you are excited for Rare’s next ‘Viva Piñata’ title. I used to hate on Viva Piñata, dissing it’s cutesy visuals and crack like gameplay.
