The players, after Warlords: YOU FOCUSED TOO MUCH ON THE GARRISONS. DON'T MAKE THINGS THAT IMPORTANT.
Blizzard: Okay, here's the Order Halls, they're not as important.
The Players, After Legion: IT'S STILL FACEBOOK GAMES, MAKE THEM LESS IMPORTANT!
Blizzard: Okay, so the mission table is far less important, and you get some flavor things to go with your outposts, some useful, some just cool.
The Players: WE WANT MISSION THINGS TO BE IMPORTANT.
Swear to god...
Only 1 of those was part of an expansion that lost 5+ million players (that we know of)
I unlocked all the flight paths and aside from the big guy you can ride, I thought that was it, I bought all of them and sent my pointless followers on 6 hour missions, when they finished I got a quest to claim the outposts and all I had to do was click a banner, didn't have to kill anything or do anything...why even bother with a 6 hour table mission? they were already rep gated to begin with, it's like a rep gate on a time gate...that is some crazy stuff
Upgrading them is a rep gate on a time gate followed by a time gate
Are you saving the resources for anything? Yes, bonus roll seals are coming soon but you can earn back the resources really fast with WQs.

You can easily earn 1000 resources doing the quests in the Warfront every week.

What would you like to do about it? I mean, other than swear at your god(s).
This is kind of underwhelming.
Don't you talk about my spud like that ><
Which outpost has teh scrapper? I know I upgraded it and thought WOW a scrapper, thats awesome, but now I went to where I thought it was, and no scarapper.. (HORDE)
TIA!
P.S.
I am hoping they continue with the RTS feel and let us upgrade them further later in the xpac, maybe the 1st upgrade is all they have out right now?
Yeah, they're kinda pointless. The outposts themselves are nice for the extra FPs.
"I sent you so much resources and all of it was to get baby dinosaurs you could pet?"
You say that like baby dinosaurs are not the most valuable resource on the planet.
...
not to the tune of 600 resources for what amounts to "flavor".
pass
Now:
Think about Legion. At some point you'll have resources up the wazoo and figure, "May as well dump 600 on this worthless thing."
very true.
but in the first few weeks of BFA 600 resources for "upgrades" is pretty darn substantial for most players.
btw when i saw one of my "upgrades" was literally a keggerator i was pretty salty.
I feel like upgrading them should have at least given rep....
Nope

Nope
7th Legion is the easiest rep to get anyway. They have the most daily quests and basically have an additional weekly quest from expeditions that gives 1500 rep.
Yet another example of people will always find something to complain about. I swear, some peoples children.

Lol this is very accurate.
I thought the upgrade would make them look more... well.... upgraded, like stone walls or a lookout tower.

I think the outrage against Garrisons was overblown and that many people are confused as to why it became it an issue. The issue, was that there was a
huge content drought. There was nothing to do except log into your garrison, send your followers off on missions, and log out. That's where the vast majority of the complaints came in. People wanted to have a good reason to leave the garrison. They wanted to feel that they could get something worthwhile, but it was really easy to feel defeated by the fact that your garrison follower missions were more productive than your character.
So yeah, Blizzard shouldn't have completely abandoned "player housing" because of WoD. What they needed to do was make the garrison missions more engaging. Have them trigger scenarios where you fight side by side with the chosen followers. Bring you and the followers into the world together. That sort of thing.
If we upgrade the outposts it looks like we progressed. See there is progression in the game.

All the outposts are stated to be, like, "secret". They're supposed to not draw attention because if they did the horde would just oust them immediately. Even the original places, the landing zones when you travel there, are supposed to be unknown to the horde.
