Just curious on what is the expectation for Housing for those who play solo, without friends or virtual friends, or simply don’t care about RP.
Is there anything else to do other than decorating and hanging around the house? As it will be cosmetics only.
The single experience I had with housing was back in Elder Scrolls Skyrim, on that DLC, but didn’t realy click for me
Rumor is that it will have quests and battles similar to the garrison that will reward up to champion track gear.
God I hope not. I have more than enough crap to constantly be doin, unless it’s just sending followers out on missions. I actually like that stuff. Passive missions are great bc then I can farm or work on alts.
is there a source on that? My impression was that there was going to be no player power associated with it.
Yes. The source is right here. Therefore, I can 100% confirm that it is a complete fabrication. Now. You guys can spread this elsewhere and when YOU get asked about the source you can in all honesty say, ‘I saw it on the WOW forums.’
We don’t really know yet. But chances are that if you don’t like the idea of decorating a house then housing probably won’t have much appeal for you.
But everything else that you already enjoy in the game will still be there with new content, so no biggie.

It’s just your collection space to express yourself. Like most MMORPG housing.
C’mon… don’t do this. 
Really what I’m hoping we get are static building placements that we can swap out for different bonuses, a mission table, and maybe even a port by the sea that can be used for sending boats on expeditions.
It would also be cool if we could plant herbs to harvest and maybe mine ore in a small cave. Perhaps they could have a music box as well so we can listen to our favorite tracks.
As a solo player I am looking forward to housing. I tend to like housing in most games that I play. My only question is about neighborhoods and if I will end up in a nice one.
If you don’t want it, you don’t have to use it at all. If you just want a simple place, just make it a one room home.
Personally, it’ll probably just be a place to put my alts from the “Forgotten” pile.
If it’s anything other than “interior decorator simulator”… yeah, that’s when there will be problems.
Housing only works as a personal space you get to customize to your heart’s content, entirely optional and without any sort of obligation. It’s transmog-plus, except it’s a far less mobile location in the game than your character.
Sometimes taps into the inner-child playing with Lego, really.
If that’s a foreign concept to you… then housing probably isn’t for you.
That sounds amazing! Maybe we could also have our own little pond to fish in. Everything I’ve heard about housing so far sounds boring af. Blizz, hire this man!!
You can be assured that I will be flooding your neighborhoods with brothels and crack houses and bikie dens, you will love all the excitement these will bring
What is a bikie den?
I have a feeling there will be some kind of social quests or weeklies, because Blizzard has us in neighborhoods with other people and wants us to be social.
Maybe you can get house decorations from winning some contest or doing X number of things dealing with your house or visiting other people’s houses.
Just another collection tab if that is your thing.
Otherwise, you don’t have to put a lot of effort into housing.
That is a neighborhood thing I think. So most likely group activities and bar filling. Inside the actual house? Not so much
FFXIV housing was too real for me. Right down to manufactured scarcity and monthly maintenance costs, and HOAs
