Runescape’s housing system is a great example of how to do it right. Idk how it is currently as I haven’t played that game in ages, but the way they handled it there is nearly perfect and could work nicely if converted properly to wow.

sounds perfect lets sell it in the store for 100 dollars but the mammoth needs to be bigger than the long boy or people wont buy it

ESO does housing right. Some are dirt cheap and you can buy them even cheaper unfurnished so you can farm the furnishings yourself
you get free crowns every month just for being subbed that you can then use to buy houses for no extra cost.
I have 12 or 13 houses in ESO…some very big mansions too…all bought with free crowns I get for being subbed

Same reason transmog and different mounts exist.
It’s not about needing it, its that customization and making things in your own style is fun to a lot of people, regardless of how much it’s actually needed.

Both of those are personal situations.
Whats inside a house is personal, the house isnt.
I like the tent idea because you just know if they did do house housing its gonna be in some location most of us dont like.
Portable would be cool
Make it instanced too so you set up the tent and click to enter and the inside is WAY bigger than it looks outside with large multiple rooms, but outside can look like a single family sleeper tent.

You are obviously not an RP player and that is fine that you aren’t and don’t understand.

Are you just not aware of how player owned housing works? You’re literally customizing it to your own personal taste. I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here.

another reason I like a tent better. portable. Home is wherever we set down for the night.

they tried this in form of garrsions. What they said at Blizzcon the issue was, is that people then just stayed in their garrisons, beginning to ruin player interaction in the world, or something to this
So you stop to drink every few kms you walk right?
Your summon has a macro to call “ol katie” from the stables?
Always sit at a table to eat with your friends?
Housing isnt needed, there are areas devoid of people but inclusive of objects (like a table and chairs to sit at) in order to emulate what it is to own a home.
have you ever tried using a public toilet?

Still say they should make a mount that works like the GW2 boat where you can hop out of the driver’s seat and walk around without it vanishing till you personally dismiss it or get too far away from it and make it like idk flying mobile homes or something. Just restrict them from settling down on rare mobs or quest NPCs for reasons. Might be easier than reformatting the game like they claimed they’d need to do before

This is why you don’t make housing replace anything we do outside of them. Garrisons were a poor attempt at housing in every metric, to the point that I dont think whoever designed them understood why people want housing.

The problem with the Garrison as I’m positive you know is that there was too many quests and too much to do inside the Garrison. That is why people stay in there all day long.
So the remedy to that problem is make it purely cosmetic don’t put all that stuff in there LOL
