I suppose whatever technology and techniques they develop updating our avatars will then be used to update other areas of the game.
After all, updating all graphics across a game this huge is a massive undertaking. Avatars are but one aspect that require an update - even if you feel they are fine many players feel they have fallen behind the times.
We'll see other areas of the game get updated graphically eventually. Places like Player Owned Houses will probably get the graphical rework when Construction gets its long awaited overhaul.
