Basically, graphics have amazed many viewers of MMORPGs, and lately, game companies out there use this as a tool to lure in players. On the other hand, games that may not have the greatest of graphics quality, have been refused to be played by its discriminating ways. I also get the point that players want something that looks good and plays out well. But now, I'm wondering what players are really looking for. And for me, I choose to have gameplay instead of graphics (including that I don't have a magnificant pc).

If possible, I rather have both as it will make game a lot more appealing and interesting. If I had to opt I'd go for gameplay of course as long as the graphics aren't completely awful.

I guess once you start playing a few games with great graphics, it's hard to play lower graphics games. This happens to me at least. There's two games I tried recently but quit within the first 10min exactly because the graphics weren't that great.

this is not a good question, if one mmorpg can reach both standards of graphics and gameplay, that will be a good mmorpg, but it is dispointed that so far, there is few mmorpg can do both of them.

depend on individuals. some like grinding may choose graphics.

for me, i choose gameplay over graphics, but graphics must not be too bad.

I think this question poses to us a false dichotomy. What do you mean by graphics OR gameplay, as if both lived in seperate realms that couldn't touch each other. In reality it is pretty much impossible to have a game that goes to either extreme. In other words it's a very poor question, or perhaps you phrased it very poorly.

Good games are able to have both good graphics and gameplay. However graphics have technological limitations as some computers are not able to support too high end graphics, or are unable to do so at a playable speed, especially when many skill animations are going off at the same time.

I don't honestly believe serious gamers choose 'between' graphics or gameplay
I mean, do you honestly believe a gamer will seriously play a game purely for graphical consideration?
Yes, stunning graphics is a great come-on, but when you are actually playing the game and you realized it just bores you (gameplay, i'd even argue, is relative: I can dig a turn-based strategy game and yet others may get turned-off), you'll just leave it, and look for another one that 'looks' awesome

I'd choose both, but since usually the developers can barely give us one of those then I choose gameplay totally. I really don't care that much about graphics.

That is true... Either they are really good at grapgics and bad at gameplay or really bad at grapgics and good at gameplay. wich is confusing, but if you want BOTH good graphics and good game play Age of Conan :)

By the question, "Graphics or Gameplay?"
As in what do you prefer most in a game. either its graphics quality, or its gameplay
