Many MMOs other than BDO look better on those parts. Even F2P ones.

There is no justification for lacking those basic features in a 2018 AAA MMO made by one of the biggest gaming company in the world.

And for your information, say we get increased textures quality, nothing has to be trade for this to work, the only thing needed is enough vram on the client side, and that's it. There is no direct perfomance impact on this.
Of course the textures we have now aren't up to "2018 standard" whatever the hell that is. They were created with the freaking PS3 in mind.
Textures are created to look good at certain distances. If I jam my face into a wall, of course im gonna see some horrible pixilation, but the who does that? It's like walking up to a painting of a cityscape and pressing your nose into the canvas and complaining that the people are just dots and a line.
I'd much rather have a game that looks "good" and plays great than a game that looks amazing but plays like a slideshow, aka BDO.
