Ah, I have mixed feelings about this. Certain types of graphics cards are better at handling that sort of thing than others, I'd rather not have to do even more research every time I upgrade my pc to make sure a specific texture pack performs as well as possible. Secondly this would be something console players would be completely locked out of. They would essentially be punished for playing on a console.

I'd rather SE just update the base graphics where they need updating (such as 2.0 gear and hairstyles) than only cater to a small portion of players who could actually use hi-res texture packs.
