While no one is in any doubt about WoW being the leader in the world of MMORPGs, there is one element about the game that players feel could be improved upon- the WoW Graphics.

Here is the article about Blizzard responsed to the WoW Grapthics in the future:

Could we? Most likely so. But that would mean limiting who could play the game. We also enjoy the style that we have and while we continue to make improvements, want to be very careful in how we go about doing it so that we can allow people to play without the need of needing to do massive upgrades.
Blizzard have always stated that they want WoW to be accessible by as many players as possible - not just the ones with top-end machines. Keeping the system requirements relatively low means players can continue to play on mediocre computers and laptops. However, if you do happen to have a mighty super computer with all the bells and whistles, WoW will look and play a lot better, so players do benefit from having hardware that packs a punch.

IMO, this is one area where Blizzard marketting got it right, but keeping the game accessable to the largest player base. It also shows that Blizzard isn't in cohoots with computer manufacturers. I'm sure some software developers up the requirements of their softwar just to get people to buy new computers. The graphics are actually pretty good and keep true to the original cartoony feel of the original Warcraft RTS games.
 
In case you're curious, his link goes to a Gold Selling site that happens to have the same "news article" posted.
