Glad that the majority of the questions were optional⌠It dragged on and on so I had to skip half of it.
The survey wasnât that long nor was it bad. Pretty clear and direct to me so itâs not like weâre doing our taxes or something.

Wow, this thread has a TON of effort put into it. As someone who absolutely LOVES housing and wants desperately to see it in WoW I am amazed at how much time and effort you put into this thread.
I am sorry some of the first responses you got are so poor given how much time you put into this.
Yeah⌠And some sections that should have had an âotherâ field didnât, such as proffered method of collecting decorations since it lacked a âcraftingâ option.
Would have also been cool to have a general âCommentâ section to list any thoughts not covered by the poll.
To have a customizable place to call and make your own. A place to be creative in your free time and be able to return to at your leisure and thatâs not even considering RP possibilities for a lot of playerâs and guilds.
Not to mention if done right its 100% optional, not like Garrisons were. It should be an optional side thing for the people who like housing just like how it is handled in literally every other MMO with Player Housing.
⌠That was a pretty short poll tbhâŚ

Why do we need ANYTHING in the game?
For fun~!
(Of course, not everyoneâs going to find housing fun, but not everyone finds pvp fun and we have that. Not everyone finds pet battles fun and we have that. Etc.)

If they ever add a new profession it should be a gathering profession. Like lumberjack.
But yes. Iâm all for this. Fully customizable, patterns and furnishings found and crafted in all corners of the world.

For roleplay servers, if nobody else. It really helps to design your own environments when the game just doesnât provide the right one.

Actually his post contributes more than you are giving credit for. He showed his support on the forums for housing and stated he does not agree that Garrisons were âhousingâ like the WoW devs stated.
Remember, this is a Discussion forum not a âpollâ form or anything, the focus should be here and not linked elsewhere at the end of the day.
With that said, his post could have been better written and comes off poorly and a bit rude but he did clearly state his support for housing as well as his disinterest in taking an off site poll.
Aw dang, I should of said that in my quote to that post. Fun is number one~

I mean, I will be that one and mention that polls are against the rules (unless someone already beat me to it).
But I canât help with this since you donât have an option for people that are neutral on the matter.
If it happens, cool.
If it doesnât, cool.

When I first heard about player housing I had a smart-ssed answer but then I thought about all those people who used to like to fish, do their professions and AH, making gold and thatâs how they played the game.
There were a lot of them, too. Then, over time as things changed, they left. Their version of the game was gone so they wandered off.
I bet player housing will bring some of them back plus bring in new people. It could be a gold mine for Blizzard if done right.
I donât expect them to make it subject to warmode but Iâd love that so much. That would make me so happy, Iâd probably cry tears of joy.

Housing isnât important to me but I support adding it. But after Garrisons Iâm a little nervous about what weâd get.

Itâs really refreshing to see someone say that while they donât like a thing, they know a lot of other people do like that thing and be in favor of that thing being added because of those other people.
And Iâve also considered that adding housing would make a big splash in the news and bring a bunch of people back, if only to try it.
I mean, sure, long as it follows the rules of Warmode and has to be enabled and can be repaired after.

I personally have 0 interest in player housing. That said I donât care if they put it in but if they do I want it to be 100% optional and cosmetic. No gear aside from transmog stuff and nothing else that would benefit a character out in the world.

Oh man, oh man, oh man! Like⌠I am not an Elf fan and I have never hidden that fact, but with that said I absolutely ADORE Eversong and no other Zone has ever been able to compare to it! Such a beautiful zone!
I would love to see Eversong get an HD update but I also fear that they will butcher the beauty in doing so.
Sooooooo beautiful, I would absolutely have a home there.
See, I was going to post that and went to the âWelcome please readâ thread to quote Kaivax and also checked the CoC and there is actually nothing on âpollsâ. Petitions, yeah, it states petitions are against the forum rules but I searched high and low and found nothing stated about polls.
Seriously, even as a housing supporter I support forum rules above all else. So if you can find where it mentions polls I would be all over that, expressing our desire for something is fine and dandy but it must always be within the rules, but I couldnât actually find anything mentioning polls. The only thing it mentions is people making Petition threads and requesting posts as signatures, which this thread isnât really doing.
Its got me curious, though I suppose we will find out if it does or does not fall under the petition section listed here.

Yeah, I mean its a shame. The weekly rotating fishing spots and stuff were cool, heck even the garrison fishing groups were kinda fun socially. I really wish they did something about fishing though, its so dull. Other games have show that fishing can be a fun minigame experience, I usually site Stardew Valley as doing fishing right and making it fun as well as very visible on how skill ranks directly influences your fishing.
WoW fishing is⌠Well⌠I âafkâ fish using the reckles method and watching movies. Nothing says âGood Gameplayâ like a system where you spend most your time on your second monitor and waiting to hear a âsplashâ sound.
Oh absolutely! Its such a good gold sink in games like ESO and FFXIV! Seriously, there would be so much money in it, profit for AH Tycoons and a sink for people who love messing around with housing, not to mention it would be huge for RPers, plus if done like other MMOâs it would be 100% optional so it wouldnât affect those not interested! er⌠well, except the people who go âIt would cost us a raid tier!â who would spin someone else getting a toy as instead them losing a toy.
That⌠could be interesting. Personally, and I know using âGarrisonâ and âHousingâ in the same post is blasphemous to many, I think one thing that Garrisons did better than ANY OTHER form of housing was the seamless instancing. The fact that when going to your Garrison there was no loading screen, no instance portal, no door/intractable object. It was just there, in the open world, and you seamlessly entered your plot.
If there is one feature from the Garrisons I would want to carry over it would be the seamless instancing but with better ways of inviting/giving players permission to visit other plots.
That is how it should be and, not trying to speak for others, how I feel most people who want housing want it to be.
Honestly, not even that. There should be no rewards for housing outside new decorations/minor conveniences like general crafting stations. At the most extreme, another hearthstone bound to one plot only. No gardens that give herbs, no mines that give ore, none of that. Purely cosmetic and fun and 100% optional

The devs issue with Housing is they canât grasp the appeal of something that isnât connected to character progression in any way. They dabbled in the concept with Garrisons, but absolutely ruined them with the mission table and by tieing professions to them, and even worse they removed the need for gathering professions to go out in the open world by providing both a mine and a garden right in the garrison!
If they ever attempt real housing it needs to be completely disconnected from progression. No mission table, no quests to advance professions, just a structure with a variety of available decorations, as well as a mailbox and possibly an anvil and forge. Any rewards related to housing activities should be limited to additional decorations.

Iâm willing to bet half the âweâd lose a raid tierâ people donât even raid.
I havenât raided in any serious capacity since Wrath. If Blizzard could do it right Iâd be all for player housing. Even if it did cost a raid tier - which it wonât.
To me doing it right would be if they could find a way to do what FFXIV did in terms of layout, with no monthly upkeep fee, and enough plots for everyone to at least get a âsmallâ house. When I checked out XIVâs houses they were kinda spendy - which is fine -but had an in game monthly fee or youâd lose your plot, and on my server there were zero plots available. It made me kinda sad.

Garrisons were player housing. The OP is right that it did too much and too little. There is a room in the garrison that feels like it was meant to cover some of what was missing. The big issue I have with player housing is it would pull people away from the major cities and bring back the isolation that garrisons brought. They would have to be instanced or else you have Elwynn Forest looking like a cityscape. I canât get behind the idea simply because it would negatively impact the game world. Aion, Rift, ESO and FFXIV and many others are and have always been in the shadow of WoW. Respectable games, but meek lambs in the presence of a titan.
