Me too.  I've started mogging 2-3 months ago.  But I cant care about 
details you cant see unless youre really really really close to another 
player's big nose.  Just go 3-4 steps away and its all are covered by a 
few pixels.  Even on a high-resolution monitor.

I prefer the cartoon style.  Wild Star has it.  But like everything else 
in the game also the models goes more real, dull and boring. :)
There is a reason why I still farm vanilla raid mogs.
