That I been trying to say But wow twitter think “WE HATE THE RPG Element” when in fact Garrison took up raid tier to update stuff like “Garrison update” case in point. https://twitter.com/vap0relf/status/1492993624191111168
Because dailies, quests, banks, auction house, etc would still be out in the world? Housing should just be for fun, not mechanics or player power. Still, that whole argument of the world would be dead doesn’t hold water. ESO has housing you can store stuff in, and craft in, but the cities are still often full of people. Same with FF14.
Garrisons were a stupid little base that all the gameplay revolved out of, so of course people where there. People are not asking for that 2.0, they’re asking for housing systems that are there just for cosmetic fun.

You mean Glass model house, You have no or little of doing Costing us raid tier to shovel lot of Nealry neish cosmic of past exp to decrate a model house that: “You can’t cook in, YOu can’t bank in it, You can’t check AH or black market AH, you can’t even fish in the house” Just a Useless hunk of Place older with random place player mdoels that Just Gonna come out Pointless or Stupid and dose not Fit well if you try to shoe horn it with Bigfoot to dress shoe
Sure sure sure “Oh look at my LIttle house I own That I put stuff.”
But in reality just pointless code with nothing to offer or trade value and waste of space and Dose not offer any thing good.
WoD was designed to keep us there with most important things we require from a central hub being readily available all right there on top of more things like farmable mats. The difference would be it would be a house and nothing more. If it was located in a city then it would be absolutely no different than how we just stand around in Stormwind or Orgrimmar right now but we would actually have to walk out of our homes to use a bank or sell something.
It would serve one purpose, to decorate. That’s it. Lol
That is an opinion I guess. Collecting items is a huge part of my motivation to keep playing. It creates goals and the feeling of progression outside of the usual gear chase. I would be excited to have something new to collect.

Things like Housing help as stopgaps between content lulls, which is something this game and its obsession with “only current content matters” desperately needs. If they released it as another expansion feature, they shouldn’t bother. It needs to be tailored to the players who enjoy it instead of insisting it tie into any sort of power progression. People who don’t like it can just not bother and miss out on nothing. People who enjoy it can sink countless hours into it. Win/win.

Ok… So go build that ship in model That Gonna cost us bit of Raid tier to fill in gap But sure sure put like… What Dragon toe nail outside the house Oh look stupid on the houseside but You put there.
Ya Need to understand If they do this, You all know They gonna Put up some stupid BS and take up most devel time… and later when exp end, Much like Garrison it be dead in the water. If they gonna keep it alive… mostly It just be by Stupid shop cosmic that be nothing but Milking the cow and our pockets.
I just don’t think it’s possible for them to create the kind of housing players want without a massive code change or update.
Can the WoW engine handle people putting things in places? Yes, after a fashion. But it’s VERY limited.
For example, when you’re filling out the Archive in Korthia, you can “put” specific items in their designated spots, at which point they “appear”. We saw something similar with the holiday decorations in the garrison, where you could “put” decorations in spots, but… it was always the same spot, every thing.
WoW’s engine just doesn’t have any interactions between items, and the game universe.
You cannot even drop items from your inventory on the ground, in WoW. That’s how limited the engine is.
What if It ties in Like To get this, Cool Crown of Sire denatus you have to beat him ATOC Mythic.
Or Get this model of boss Stuff in you garden mtyhic 17+
or Get some thing like of forzen throne, Or Black temple building pay $45.99 For house pack.
Once this curd get into the game It will change every thing and not for the better and Them song of praise be bitter when it dose happen, I Swear it!
I wouldn’t expect a free placement model to exist within the current engine, but they could easily come up with modules and themes that incorporate the same trophy-placement method that has been used before. So you could make your house an Airship, with a Goblin Lounge Captain’s Quarters, then hang paintings, trophies, on the walls, put favorite mounts in a stable area, etc. There are a ton of assets in-game to work with, and more customization options would continue to appear without consuming much development time just by virtue of new assets being created each expansion.

No, you can’t. That’s my whole point.
People want an engine with wall hooks where you can put things.
WoW can’t do that.

So… it would just be like gear/mogs as they exist right now? Yeah, that sounds great.
At least if it showed up on the Shop it would be purely cosmetic and not PTW. I can pay real money for gold, but I’m supposed to be outraged at decorations?

I doubt you know what WoW can or cannot do, but I’m not even sure what you’re responding to. They already had modular structures in Garrisons with fixed points for decorations and trophies.
What I getting at is rotation waiting for expansion life to end to farm it later, As well Bragging right to own said item on current one
Or how about Last moment sale like Once it gone it be gone.
Trust me if any one be outrage of any thing cosmic it be shop items Have you seen Disike back day on most the announcement object back then?
If that don’t get ya Image playing 500,150k, 5000k if you one the type that want to move to new land they open up, Just like talent tree they charge you for every thing and keep going up.
Yes. And people hated it.
I’m sure they could give us more of the same things in player housing:
More things like the garrison archaeology nook.
More things like the Archive in Korthia.
More things like the changeable pedastals in the garrison.
More things like the holiday decorations.
And the same people asking for housing will say:
“This isn’t what we meant.”
and
“This isn’t player housing.”
So what’s the point?

Lol they could throw a chair that is already in the game as a purchasable item from a rep vendor for a decent price of something we have to grind instead of ANOTHER of the same exact transmog or mount in a slightly different shade and I would be 100% more interested in doing it. That’s all Im saying.

If it’s like bath houses, I approve.
You’re describing what Transmog collection looks like today, which people farm relentlessly.
The rest is just speculation on hypotheticals and what the WoW team might do. It isn’t really an argument against player housing. Blizzard might release an extra monthly fee to be able to raid, but that’s not an indictment of raid design.

Every one got mad at the Enlighten fly plan or Rep ordeal about “oh to max out rep with rares you have to do it 28 days.”
Can you image grinding For Good fancy chair for 30-50 days.
Or Let me throw this more worst Theory
They made a cool house object drop rate level of X-45 Heartbreaker level of drop rate?
Much like I trying to say It all be pointless When They Cut ties to Player house when we move on 11.0 They They drop Player housing like drop of hat like shadowlands As soon they find out that Player housing is useless and can’t make money off it, They gonna drop it I Just try to warn folk not to get Gush up And remind them “This what garrison was, Not big surprise.”
Which is why I said they could work within themes (like an airship, a garrison, a fortress, a barge, a tower, etc.) and introduce modules to help flesh out customizations that can be achieved with the limitations of the engine as we perceive it. Just swapping locations and asset palettes within that framework would result in a lot of combinations as opposed to confining everyone to Orc or Human style structures and one side room for Archaeology finds.
I’m not entirely convinced those limitations are what we think. It could just as easily be the case that placing objects is possible, but Blizz worried it might be prone to abuse in some way and settled on one-size-fits-all.
