Was This Graphical Update Necessary?

In gameplay you wont notice it, but in cutscenes and glamor and rp, which is a huge portion of the playerbase, it looks pretty terrible up close on characters. Shading on hair is completely gone and there is no environmental shading on characters anymore as you are now a light source. Funny enough it was a bit broken in the original benchmark with the bunny ear lightbulb bugs xD

Shading on hair is gone?? No environmental shading on character???
Do you know the terms your using, need new glasses, or are so left in denial you can't even observe the obvious improvements?

Hair hasn't looked this good in forever, and skin shading is a marked improvement over what we had before.
That's it, I'm taking a break from the forums, you guys genuinely drain me of sanity.
