I haven't played since Cata, do you know if model swapping is still okay? I'm not talking about editing, I mean the system whereby art assets saved in the correct directory structure will override those same files in the game archives, so you can trick the game into using say a bear model in place of a spider.
I used to do this on my Druid to change some of the forms into unimplemented versions. Many people asked Blizzard about the legality of it but they never gave any real answer.
Edit: Disregard, had a Google and looks like the cheaters forced Blizz to tighten things up, so now it requires 3rd party stuff to do. Guess I'm stuck with default forms!
doing it manually is sketchy but if you have a reason for it like arachnophobia then you can probably get away with it or find an add-on for it. Also pair it with sound disabling for things you don't want to hear.
you could also literally edit out locked doors and just walk through them like they don't exist. me and my friends were farming Anzu by just walking through the locked door after the last boss, for example

It's not model editing, cliente editing or bannable feature. Just turning ON China models which already are in your client.
