That’s where we must disagree. Yes, I have fully developed garrisons on several characters…but the garrison as it stands is NOT player housing. If you’ve ever done PH on another game that has been done right, you’d understand that the garrison doesn’t come close.

I don’t want player housing, just update the garrison. Where are you getting housing from? I never said anything about housing. Just update the crafting so we can craft the current expansion items. It is not as dramatic as you think I am referring to.
I’m not bring any drama into this discussion…and this entire thread is specifically about player housing, so you’ll have to forgive me for sticking to the intended subject matter.
Also, one of the problems that developed with the garrison was that all its features…herb gardens, mines, a bank, etc…took away from the social aspect of the game, not to mention how it messed with professions and the game economy. The last thing we’d need is to bring all those troubles back by updating those ‘features’ to the current expansion.
Updating the hubs to match the current crafts isn’t that much work nowadays. For socializing, if they were concerned about that then why are there soo many cities still in the game? I have never seen that as a topic, ever.
- Fun
- Collectibles
- Player retention
- Additional content
- Role-Play
- New potential professions (Carpentry for furniture and decorations, for example)
Just a player’s personal space (Friends and guests as well). As long as there are no facilities like a Bank, Auction House, and similar things, it’s a success.

My real life home is no bigger than a doghouse, so I need a pretend fictional pixelated videogame house to compensate 
What does any of that even mean?
To be able to get your own house somewhere on Azeroth. You will like it when you will get it for sure.
No it’s not really. Your reply lends me to think you’ve not played mmorpgs with housing. Not said sarcastically btw I’m just talking here.
In the games I’ve experienced it your house can still look unique but yeah your trophy case will have some same trophies that give benefits most players want. But the systems I’ve seen the furniture floor and other options have variety so you can still keep your style.
I’m still in general not a big fan of housing though I want that made clear.
Player housing is for those who enjoy the journey more than the destination.
I would love it.

For something different other than daily slash and slice through mobs, animals and beasts, etc. It would be a thing that we could make our own, in a sense, rather than just doing what everyone else does all the day long. And if we want to get away from it all, and play in a different setting, then we can just click there. It wouldn’t be the main point of the game, but a place to have some virtual “me time” or maybe time with RL friends in game.
I have. Several.
Tie anything to player power and it becomes a necessity. Have you not been paying attention?
I also think that housing isn’t going to work without some practical reason. It should at least be like a guild bank for alts.

Unfortunately its really too late to add Player housing to the degree many of the players in game want it too be…still though I would love to see Blizzard take a chance and make it happen …not on a huge scale but something better then Garrisons or Farm hut of MoP.
Blizzard lost a couple of good Dev too Palia which has a great housing set up…
Personally would love a place with level of creation as Minecraft. Though being a realist, would at least take Garrison updated to have more plot options and locations where I can put it around the world. Also add in a stripper npc like system from GTAO and that would be great.
one that would love to have player housing and as blizzard has stated they can’t do it…
Here is an alternative to building any kind of place to do it…Use the Garrisons…just take out every bit furniture…rugs…tables you name it tear it out …just have the outline bldgs left up…then allow the player base to put in stuff they want too put in.
Make blueprints for stuff to use inside the Garrisons let professions make the stuff you want in your place…Blizzard you stated the game engine can’t run player housing but its running fine with Garrisons and what is contained in them…just blueprint those items and other stuff and let us place it how we want it.
Since when does an instanced house in a small little landscape have anything to do with lore or updating zones?
Best to not engage. It’s an alt that got ignored so they swapped characters.
Yep. I’m thinking Old Republic basic hooks and static buildings is what we’d get if they did it.

LOTRO did housing amazing. Still my favorite.
I haven’t tried out their housing. I tried to play the game, but the janky looking characters just weirded me out. lol That was ages ago, though.
oh! oh! i know this one! a place to relax! a place to customize with more stuff to collect! a place to hang trophies from our various conquests! a place to roleplay with buddies! an excuse to add more professions (like carpentry, glassblowing, metalworking, etc)! and so much more.
