And it sounds like they want people to give feedback now so issues and major inconsistencies can be fixed for expansion launch, saying this entire endeavor with overhauling the games graphics wasn’t worth doing just because there’s a small demographic of people who both downloaded the benchmark, and actually logged into the forums to complain about how their “perfect” reshaded female Au ra looks worse in the benchmark feels sensationalistic.
I won't comment on it being intentional or not, but when doing re-topology on a 3D models it is entirely possible to preserve its shape down to even small details. Even in the event that features need to be remodeled from scratch, in any 3D software you can overlap with the old model to use for reference and recreate anything with basically millimeter precision.

Paying attention to every single face is their job. If they didn't have enough time to do it properly, they should have delayed the implementation of the update.
