well there already is player housing in draenor, so i dont think it will be coming to azeroth any time soon, at least based on what the Lead Game/Encounter Designer Ion Hazzikostas had said in the icy-veins article entitled
and Ion stated
then the wowhead article that describes our first raid tier in the next expansion called Nerubar Palace
No, I didn’t say that but what’s funny is YOU are the one acting like your opinion is the only one that matters. You told the OP to go play another game because this isn’t “Housecraft.”
Well, for some strange reason people would rather not have activities that would appeal to a wider audience and they would rather tell others to go play another game, even though WoW probably doesn’t have half the population it did 10 years ago.
But maybe Blizzard will give m+ and raids AI followers too. They’re already doing it in dungeons and one bg.
i’d prefer they keep housing simple right off the bat. just add one simple building that everyone uses. expand if it works out in a way they like or do like they do every expansion and just forget it exists and move on if the result isn’t up to their standard.
after that expand using the multitude of ideas there’s been. but to keep the playerbase involved, throw some rare bind on use decorations in every aspect of the game. so raiders(and m+), farmers, secondary profs, etc can all be sources of decors for the hermits.
i like the lumberjack/contractor thing but they seem to have a hard enough time keeping current profs relevant throughout an expansion that i’m not sure two more would help.
as mentioned, i think they’re probably holding onto the housing thing until they are hurting for cash because that is something they could easily milk the playerbase with. i could see a $50 couch in the store O.o and definitely people buying tokens to buy the rare drops in content they don’t do.
i’m not a housing fan, btw. not entirely anti housing unless they add a lot system which just makes housing icky in every game that has it.
