While I certainly won't argue that WoW's cartoony art direction helps reduce the system requirements on my older system,
Guild Wars has very non-cartoony yet still beautiful graphics and runs just as well on my system as WoW does.
I'm not sure how the latter was done, but it probably shouldn't come as a surprise that Anet correctly took the same path as Blizzard did in regards to the lower system requirements to allow more people to play comfortably. After all, Jeff Strain, one of Anet's co-founders, was one of WoW's lead designers.
