Yeah, I know. But it’s one of the several questions I’d like to ask to get a clarification.
Player housing, why was it never a thing in WoW? Is it still the fact the game engine is like a fine 70s’ motor that can be appreciated for it’s classiness and novelty and could be upgraded but not quite up to spec of todays high spec models?
Also, I’ve noticd this leeriness or suspicion of anything reptillian in terms of race or playability on this forum xD Particularly DRAGONS. Is it that they would be too OP? Some sort of stigma? You know, if the game had some sort of reptillian race?
Also the question is worth asking, why can’t a race be outside the boundaries of conventionality?
Excuse my outspokeness and probably frank insolence with lack of tact to the finer etiquette I probably should be acting in. xD

It was
It’s called Garrisons. Prior to that it was the Farm in MoP.

What Copperfield said. Farms (in a tiny form) and then garrisons.
All such things did, especially garrisons, was isolate players even more. You get things set up right, and you didn’t need to leave your garrison. You had profession buildings, ore/herbs/fish, a bank, an auction house, mailboxes, even a jukebox so that you could play whatever zone music you wanted.
what the other 2 said were not player housing or anything close so ignore them

All they needed to do was turn off trade chat in the garrison.
It’s the same concept – a customizable private area of your own, that you could share with friends/guildies, or choose to be alone.
player housing wasnt a thing yet because the devs felt it wasnt needed, and also it didnt really fit anywhere. they have been slowly testing different systems out though with multiple things such as the farm in mop the garrison in wod and the upcoming new version of it coming in shadowlands. the new one is supposed to have many more customization options than the garrison did and will be the closest to playher housing weve gotten so far. so in the future its possible we might geta actual player housing

They will always explain away that it isn’t because it has a negative stigma about it. And that it didn’t 100% check off their niche definitions of player housing.
But for the common player the garrison was player housing,

the thing is though that it wasnt truly customizable. player housing in games is usually very creative and free to do whatever you want. garrison was very limited on what you could do. this guy is asking why we never got TRUE player housing
So it was BAD player housing, but it was still player housing. And gave an indication of what would happen if they implemented better player housing – an empty world with no one out in it.

You know you can change the nouns in your post and it will sound exactly like academics/redditors/twitter activists stating that true communism/socialism has never been done.
i have no idea what this has to do with player housing, but the point still stands that we never got it and we wont for awhile but theres hope for the next expansion after shadowlands due to what we are getting in shadowlands

thats fair but again hes still asking why we never got the good player housing. blizzard has had the ability to add it for a long time now. they just havnt, i assume they are just testing stuff cause the stuff they do add gets better everytime
It’s me poking holes in how people wanting player housing strawman and no true scotsman (and other argument points) their way in these discussions.
It is a bad game idea and is not needed in a game that needs people to be segregated less from others.
Guys, guys, calm down, this is getting a little heated uwu
Let me explain, I meant a player housing, as in yes, you build a house or choose one, you choose the interior of it, this garrison thing, I don’t know what this actually fully truly is, but it sounds like they TRIED atleast.
Maybe Tony even had a point where it isolated players I don’t know I was thinking of something like guild halls or a base where guild players could hang out too.
Anyway, thank you very very much for the very informative responses! It was extrmely sweet and friendly of you! Thank you for clarifying and responding. nwn
you cant poke holes ina solid fact, we never got true player housing. we got a small area we could “customize” with 6 set in stone premade buiuldings we had no interaction with or say in how they were build or designed, on 5 plots of land we only had a say in what goes on them.
this is the farthest you could get from player housing
you should look into the new shadowlands thing they added like the garison it has alot more options, ad is much closer to what you want
If you think Garrisons was player housing then you do not know what Player housing is. Play more MMO’s with REAL Player housing and the difference is quite obvious.
