Yes, I do believe they are. I’m pumped.

The best? I doubt it. Better than its main competitor though? Absolutely.

Every object can be rotated and resized on an XYZ axis and it seems you can customize your entire housing layout. Yeah… it seems to be the best, even on those notions alone.

I doubt it since its not a Raid.

The interior game is the most important, and I’m glad they’re doubling down on it. That said, their need to control the look of the gameworld will likely have them a little more timid and less flexible with the exteriors.
That doesn’t bug me, as I said the interior is the real game, but I don’t expect to see the same flexible variety in their exteriors as in your average FFXIV neighborhood. That comparison WILL happen (I mean, how can it not?) and I can see either argument for or against letting people go wild with exteriors. I don’t think WoW housing exteriors will be wild. They may be varied, but I expect they’ll be rigidly formulaic to set, very intended aesthetics.

They said showing off mounts and such so I’m guessing a stable outside. Something like that plus choosing a building model is likely what we’re getting, which is totally fine.

I honestly don’t care. I’ll use it as much as my garrison.

I’m withholding judgment until the final result is in players’ hands.

Oh don’t worry, they’ll somehow screw it up like as not. I’d be surprised if the end result was anything close to what is advertised.
Remember how Garrisons had tons and tons of features announced, but what we got in the end was like 10% of what they advertised?
That’s why I’m very hesitant to be hyped or pumped for the housing. They’ll say lots of awesome stuff, but they’ll go “d’oh, we bit off more than we can chew, we had to remove a few things” …
Also, this.
I refuse to allow myself to get hyped for a Blizzard product/update/etc until it’s actually playable. I’ve been a WoW player off and on since Vanilla, and I’ve learned the lessons many times over.

You can make a tiny house on a big piece of land with a mansion sized layout inside I think. It’s like some kind of magic house bro.

Alright, that’s looking really cool. It’s taken them a lot of years to get around to it but it feels like they’re really having fun with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s been a bunch of devs eager to work on this stuff for a long time.

What game would have the best? I only know of FFXIV and their housing is complete garbage.

Out there right now? ESO hands down, especially if you ignore the cost of some of the real money items
Insane utility, insane variety, free item/furniture placement, and programable NPCs to live in your house

Is Blizzard about to drop the best player housing of any MMO?
As long as we don’t consider Second Life to be an MMO, they do stand a chance.

Like okay, you finish designing your house in a few hours tops, then what? You RP walk around in it? Sit at the table for a few? Zoom in and look around? What an absolute waste of resources. How about a new epic bg after 15 years. You know, something that 80 people engage in at a time? That would rock! Maybe even some in game dragon riding jousting pvp areas for bloody coins and conquest with faster regen on abilities. No? Okay…ill just rp at the sink washing dishes…much fun. Maybe a mario kart bg queue for conquest/honor with our DRIVE vehicles. Nah? Okay, ill go cut the front lawn so the neighbors dont call HOA.

Yes.
Yes.
It’s not a waste.
War’s been over for a while.
That’d be cool, maybe one day!
It is fun. 
Once DRIVE is better handled, then this would also be fun.
You do that! Keep in mind, you can also have your own little pocket with no one else so you won’t HAVE to worry about an HOA. Hope this all helps!
