ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Old-style graphics

Old-style graphics (Discussion)
Having to design weapon and armor sets and draw terrain is considerably expensive for Anet. High detail adds overhead on the player's graphics card while running the game and costs Anet slightly on the server end.

I suggest older-style graphics, like something from 1999 or 2000. Realistic graphics isn't necessary and only detracts from more important things.


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Low polygon count and low detail means that meshes and textures download quickly.


 * Why it may not work out
 * Graphics from 1999 or 2000 are not exactly detailed but are definitely acceptable, a good compromise between "You need a better video card" and "Ugh. DOS-style Pixellation."
 * Realistic Graphics look better! Buy a new video card if u need it XD
 * I've seen some bad suggestions, but this is easily the worst. Are you a WoW player by any chance?
 * How can you create something new using someting old? thats called "improvisation"= bad idea
 * Bad graps = bad game!

Give the guy a break, he just has a computer that was made in 2001 and is hoping that he won't ever need to upgrade for the next 20 years. Talk about going into the future kicking and screaming. :P
