The neighborhood is social. I have no desire for uninvited guests. If I want someone to have instant access, I will see to it personally.

That’s how it should be. Anyone asking for no privacy by default is just meddling in other people’s business.

Pass.
I’ll never let randos into my home, and I’m debating if I’ll even let them inside my property at all. I don’t care nor need to have randos visit who will likely just be annoying to bother me while I’m having me time. 
That said, IF I come across friendly people in the neighborhood, and we become buddies, I’ll maybe consider it, but that’s a big maybe because people be shady.

Hard pass. You can come in and see my house when it is finished and presentable
Since I am aware of your dislike for me, and your history of trolling, your opinion doesn’t matter. Blizzard made the privacy setting, and set it to default. If the game designers themselves think like me, maybe this is not the RPG for you. Have a nice night.

Last thing i need/want is some asmongold wanna be coming in my house and critiquing it for views from his roach viewers.
I see no benefit to making it public at all, let alone the default option, I’m keepin my door’s locked.

First of all, drop the RPG.
WoW is primarily a “pure genre MMO” with very few RPG-elements. Any and every attempt to introduce RPG elements (outside of a talent system and levels) has been met with severe disdain.
WoW is just a MMO.
Secondly, this is one of the rare times I don’t think “It is a MMO” is an argument for folks being social… at least not the type you are implying.
The neighbourhoods are public, the ones that are public that is. Those that are guild or friends only, sure those aren’t public in the same way. But the point is still this: the neighbourhoods are where folks are meant to see other people, hang out, do the neighbourhood activities together, meet before raid, or whatever else.
People’s personal homes are specific to the people who live there and make whatever it is that they want to make there. You can lock a door and not be anti-social, and that’s what this is. A locked door to a person’s home in a neighbourhood where people are social and you invite people if you want to … or you allow people into your house yourself as a personal option.

That’s where you’re wrong and forcing everyone to be social is bad. Anti-Social is good.

Hard disagree. Folks can be social in the neighborhood, but one’s personal house SHOULD be private by default, until the owner decides to open it up.

I think you underestimate how much people are going to want to show off their houses. Literally every other MMO with housing has similar privacy settings, with housing set to private by default. And that’s the way it should be.

How about no. It’s like locking my house irl. By default, it came locked so I unlock or lock it when i do or don’t want guests.

Not to state the obvious here, but one is real, the other is not.
Hope that helps.

Ah, yes, it’s “anti social” to not want random strangers wandering into your house and looking at your stuff…
