As per WoWHead article, Diablo 4 Content Overview “Even though Runes and Runewords were shown off at BlizzCon 2019 they will not be available at launch and are something the developers plan to return to in the future.” So, if the OP is not confusing trophies and Charms, it is possible that they heard Charms, like Runes, are returning in D4. So, they want an easier way to store, exchange, etc. that does not mean buying another stash tab.
Don’t always stick to terms as if they can’t be used for something else in the future
Well i don’t know if you can consider survival games having housing as it’s pretty much the main feature of these games
Having played a lot of PoE, the problem with player housing is that everyone at end game just hides in their house. They teleport to the content, do the content, then they go back to hiding in their hideout.
I was a fan of the hideout system in PoE. It opened the door for aesthetic microtransactions to generate revenue without P2W
Player housing is a pretty big undertaking if you weren’t already designing with it in mind. People have asked for housing in wow for YEARS. Theres technical issues at play. I’d rather them spend their time and effort on other things.
I don’t need this in my D4, but I wouldn’t hate it if it happened somewhere down the road.
Honestly, the fact that my hideout looks so amazing is my favorite thing about PoE. They put so much effort into MTX and transmogs that the rest of the game is just absolute trash. I do love my hideout, though.
Housing and fishing. That would be cool.
Can we get computers in the houses too? Ooooh and in game forums we can access from them… so we can ask for all the things that only 5 people would care about?
At least 9 of us that want it, man!

i friggen love housing but if its not at launch i dont know if they would do it. i would expect “fix the current game before adding to it” type of comments where they would just be pressured to add stuff already established in the game then something totally new.
If it was Genshin Impact style house where its straight up cosmetic no buffs I could see it having its place. Just some place that’s cool add trophies build a hall or a tent have fun blah blah blah.
Any power creep it’s a waste of time.
Can I bring someone over to my housing for some quick sexy time?
Soooo, like new world?
… And what charms are you even talking about?
Gems on the other hand, would be nice if gems didn’t take up the main inventory space and had their own “bag” slot.
But then the complainers who dont want to see any others running about because its disturbing their immersion wouldnt have to cry anymore lol
It wouldn’t be such a bad idea to make some very very long term goals in the game, like buying an estate for a lots of lots of millions of gold which would be private for an account, and collect tons of resources to build a house or mansion there, but it would take many months or years to complete arching through the seasons and expansions.
I mean, sure, killing monsters and developing characters are fun but if we already have a shared stash between characters why not have something more too.
For example upgrading the smith and jeweler was nice in D3, something like that could be implemented here too. Some progress system for build or i don’t know.
I’d like it, if it had a graveyard/crypt for your HC characters who die & get booted off the Hardcore realm.
The better they did; the more ornate the headstone or such.

They could do alot more than that though: Eg a placeable portal. If you put a combination of rare materials into it and hit the right combination, itll open a gate to a secret world which is only doable in a group.
And then you must invite other people to come to your home 
There could be different combinations for different secret worlds, some being super rare to find the imhredients for lol
