Here’s a little taste.

WoW will never see player housing. Its demographic is primarily people who want to log in, get a piece of gear, and log out. And at some point even logging in will take too long and “not respect their time”. You can’t expect something fun and optional they won’t cry about “being forced to do”. It’s not meant for WoW players.
No. Blizzard will just turn it into a massive grind and a boring questing hub. This new dev team has not one single time given a single one of us what we have asked for, not once, not ever. And they wonder why we keep losing subs.
Id be happy if they allowed class changes for example, other MMOs do, since all our mounts and achieves are shared anyways, what harm could it do? Since we can already boost a toon to max level, buy WoW tokens to gear it up, select to show account wide achieves on the toon, queue up for a raid, then when people inspect that boosted toon in a raid they will think it is years old, not just 30 minutes old. They allow boosting toons but not class changes which is just silly.
So do you think they will ever put in player housing the way we want? It will just come in as a boring grind thats all.
People already cry about doing anything… I think some people want to log in get rewards in the mail and log bock out.

Instanced, similar to garrison, but with more customization that can be unlocked via old and current content (like transmogs)
Players pick a zone to settle in and the layout will depend on the zone picked.
Need to be purely cosmetic, with minimal utility (no auction house, no bank, no portals that are too good)

How I would LIKE to see it… like Wildstar.
How we MIGHT see it, if ever… probably not.

Agreed. Housing should be 100% optional with no progression advantages just some thing to do for fun.

Nope. Not at all.

Ultima Online spoiled me. I really can’t imagine true housing without a full Sims editor.
(I liked the farmhouse and garrison for what they were and wouldn’t mind a private space again - some of custom ship ideas for an oceanic expansion out there sounds like an interesting iteration)
We already had housing and the people who kept clamoring for housing hated it.
Blizzard isn’t touching that again with a 10-foot pole. The people who want player housing crapped in their own nest on this one.
No matter how many times people claim Garrisons were player housing it still won’t be true.

Garrisons were not housing.

And that’s why Blizzard will never revisit player housing again: Because of people like you.
Good job. 
And you, too.
Every time you guys ask WHY CANT WE HAVE HOUSING, just look in the mirror. You are the reason why.
Grats.

Tell us you have no idea what player housing is without telling us.
Grats.

They never visited player housing the first time so they can’t revisit it.

I’ve been using player housing systems since the days of Asheron’s Call and Dark Age of Camelot. That was over 20 years ago.
I know all about it.
What you guys don’t know how to do, is work with a game publisher instead of stamping your feet and throwing a tantrum like a 2-year-old.

You’re just proving my point.
If the “player housing” folks had said to Blizzard, okay, this was a good start, let’s work with this… then you could have gotten what you want.
Instead, it was “THIS ISNT EVEN HOUSING RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGEEEEEEE”
At which point it was clear to Blizzard that you aren’t even worth engaging with, and they gave up.
And it’s never coming back.

RIFT had player housing and it was pretty cool. I didn’t play the game for long, but I did enjoy decorating my house. Anyone who knew me during that time period had to sit through at least one tour of my house.
