Seems like a bigger jump than we've seen in previous expansions, did they do another graphics update?

Well good thing I only upgraded some of my accounts yet. And a great excuse to start considering a new build! :D
Now to sell the idea of it being completely necessary to my other half...

You have to start early, start slipping in comments "Man this thing is so slow today." "Bah cant watch movies in HD with this." etc, every once in awhile. Then when Legion hits your better half is sick and tired of you complaining and insists you get a new one.

There are several new or tweaked settings so far in the alpha, but in reality I think they're just out to get the large-scale multiboxers. /tinfoilhat
