Yep. And the SoD stuff didn’t exist either. To me the SoD runes are a step in the right direction. Add to classic, make it different now, WoW2. If they make the system changes in cata then classic is over because it stopped being classic at that point. It’ll be interesting to see what they decide to do.
All I’m hearing is, “I made stuff up, have no facts, can’t back it up, know nothing about what I’m talking about, so I’ll get condescending, because that always works!”
Have a nice day.

NGL i’ve not seen player housing be anything other than just meh
I often do actually. My WoD garrison has the auction house in it so I can go there instead of Org to do do a full clear on my inventory instead of Org if I want to.
This makes no sense.
I don’t need you to tell me that.
Why would I need to m’am? I don’t use 2h axes and even if I did, when did Fyralath become mandatory?
Citation needed.

For me, I played a few other games with player housing and it simply added something else I enjoyed doing.
Ultima Online was great because of the types of housing and stuff you could build as cosmetics. I had a keep, It was well decorated. I used it for lots of storage since character backpacks didn’t have determined slots, it was based on your strength that determined on much you could carry. So I stored items, armor and gold in my keep like a bank. When I went out into the pvp world, I had little to lose (if you died in pvp, the enemy could loot your corpse and take it all).
Rift didn’t have housing, but they had instanced dimensions which was an absolute blast. I had a few different ones with lodges and crafting stations along with a weird bizarro world I created. Some of us in the guild had dimensions that we would meet guildies in. Since you could get married, we even had a wedding dimension. Designing a dimension could take a long time because there was so much customization and items in the game along with rare items to hunt for,
This gave me hours of entertainment, and was something else I could do that wasn’t hack and slash.
Garrisons were not even remotely close to what these other games had. They were neat, but there was no customizations other than picking where to place buildings and growing the base to rank 3. As such I spent very little time in mine.
If I had a request it would be more like what Rift did with Dimensions. I do miss those two games.
Palia has wonderful housing …matter fact the the Dev that designed Palia came from Blizzard…either they got let go or left…but Palia is really what most would want for player housing I feel…

I’ve used player housing in Wildstar, FFXIV, ESO, and SWTOR. There is a lot of fun to decorating your space and taking screenshots, but I really like the ability to invite friends over to my home to hang out. It’s also super fun when a game integrates minigames and crafting into the housing system. At the end of the day housing should be for cosmetics, RP, and convenience, as making it a core part of power progression causes major balance issues.
Player housing is like transmogging. It’s a way to further differentiate your character from others. It’s great for RP and for people who like to craft. Lots of other MMOs have it - ESO’s housing is quite nice. If you put the houses in the faction cities, you won’t lose population as people have to go in and out all the time. The garrisons didn’t work as player housing because you couldn’t customize it at all. (My Hordies aren’t fond of Orc design sensibilities. Let’s face it, Orcs aren’t worried about comfort.) WoW could create a lot of quests (and WQs) centered around housing with pieces that could be sold on the AH, so if you don’t like housing, you could make money off of those of us who do like it.
After people get their player housing they will complain next about wanting player jobs to go to.
Let’s put a mall , grocery store , etc in Azeroth to buy things for our houses
Some things could just be for fun.
The worst they could do - and what they will do - is tie housing into Mythic raiding or high M+ or PVP or something.
Day late and a dollar short but I think a lot of it has to do with just customizing the place to suit your tastes. Set up a trophy wall to look at past accomplishments. FFXIV players do a lot of that and are amazing with their creativity, I certainly could never do anything like what they do and I did own a small house at one point.
Thinking back on it, I owned a house in Star Wars Galaxies. Had a hallway decked with armor stands and weaponry. Krayt Dragon skull at the end and a desk in a room I painstakingly set up with small little items like pens and books to seem like a work desk. I haven’t done something like that in years.

When its BiS. Thats when. Ma’am.
I’ll try and find you a brain while im at it.
It seems like these people just need to walk outside for once. Instead of living inside a game.

Heres an idea. Play palia.
No that doesn’t make it mandatory and you know that.
Are you five?
Anyways, I’m done with this conversation. You have done nothing but be nasty and make bad faith arguments. Just gonna put you on ignore forever.
same
with that being said
i agree. i am actually neutral on the subject on the basis that if it is ever added, let it be added as is. no achievements tied to it, no pets tied to it, no mounts tied to it, no toys tied to it, no titles tied to it and no cosmetics tied to it. and game on.
this is wow, and this is blizzard we are talking about. as the history of things that have already been added to this game have shown, it always has 1 thing or a couple of things tied into it. so if you are a collector on any level and or on any niche you will be in a way “forced” into housing to collect the aforementioned things.
and in all honesty that is the problem i see from many people that have no use or interest in player housing. it is not that they dont want to see other players that RP get it. they just dont want to have to interact with it to collect these new collection items that will 100% be tied into it.
If you dont wanna be garbage and a waste of space its mandatory.
6 and a half.
Yay!
I have the (not so good) feeling that player housing will be (or is being) slowly developed, and will only be introduced further in the future as a filler patch to bolster flagging subscription numbers when they reach dangerously low numbers. It would be something they know will help retain a segment of more dedicated players.
It would be refreshing to see Blizzard actually LEARN from the biggest lesson the garrison feature taught them, and actually make player housing both fun, and completely optional.
Sadly, ad hominem and suggestions to ‘go away / play something else’ typically are tactics employed by the discourse infirmed.
