If it was worth doing, they would be doing it.
They’re not.
Because it’s not.
The framework for player housing already exists. And if you could, please link where Ion said they need to recode the engine for player housing.
In other words, y’all are just making stuff up because you don’t care about it.

People need to get off the wish train and start dealing with what the game’s engine can actually do.
That’s kinda how I feel, and I bet how Blizzard feels about it, as well.
We don’t have it now, because Blizzard probably doesn’t believe it’s a good return on investment. It’s been calculated.
Housing alone is a huge feature, would require tons of work, and it still probably would not be enough to bring people back into playing WoW.

Especially when the “player housing lobby” has proven that they’re very likely to turn up their nose at whatever they do get.
The fate of player housing was sealed when housing’s so-called advocates threw such a massive babytantrum in WoD.
Then they’re completely stupid and their marketing team needs fired if that were true.
Player housing brings in a boatload of income, between selling decorations, the time played, etc… their return on investment would be huge.

Bruh, I’m a HUGE PROPONENT of player housing.
I just don’t think WoW could pull it off in a non-clunky way.
I loved my rocket-house in WildStar, that game had the best player housing by a long shot.
I also owned my own mansion in Naboo in SWG where I produced pets for people, I was a creature handler and bioengineer.
Don’t assume we don’t want this is WoW, we just know that WoW would already have these things if it was easy enough- they are popular demands.
WoW came out in November 2004, it’s July in 2023 now.
The game is nearing 20 years old, and player housing still isn’t a thing yet.
Garrisons are the base framework for the same style that Old Republic uses— which is what keeps a large amount of people playing that game.
Dude, look it up yourself.
Nobody falls for the stupid “hurr i win unless u haf link” crap anymore. Everybody knows that if you were given a link, you’d just nit-pick it to death with “NUH-UHHHHHH” anyway.
We’ve all seen your kind of trolling a million times. Being an internet troll doesn’t give you a mandate from god to waste other peoples’ time.
Find it yourself.
(And this is where your hurr hurrrrrr i winnnnnn because you don’t understand what I just wrote.)
I did think WoW had a shot at aparment-style housing like a personal instance.
Again, we still don’t have it, and Blizzard likely will never have a solid date.
It could be another 10 years, it could be never, it could be next expansion.
The fact of the matter, is we don’t know when/if we will get housing.
In SWG I belonged to Pax Imperium, a mega-guild that built the game’s first player-made city.
WoW is not SWG. Very different engine.
People need to wake up to reality on this.

I have. And nowhere in the interview can I find anyone saying the engine needs completely recoded for player housing.
It’s also not my job to look up your claims. If you refuse and I can’t find it, the burden of proof is on you.
Asking you to show me information is now trolling? Are you actually being serious right now??
You can’t give people factual information to learn from?? Seriously?

I miss sandbox MMOs so much, man.
Something about telling your own story was legendary.
And seeing disputes over player-owned land and being a part of a fight, it was so cool.
WoW never has such moments. Well, it does, but they are manufactured lol, like in PvP.
We had the farm, and then they built on that with the garrison. FF11 had done that style of TARDIS housing before that, it was a familiar model.
They scrapped it because of the THIS ISN’T HOUSING tantrum during WoD.
If the people you’re making it for reject it entirely… why even bother?

They never “scrapped” anything so stop making things because you don’t want player housing.
What a bunch of BS. FFXIV hasn’t suffered because of housing. ESO hasn’t suffered because of housing. SWTOR’s main game issues aren’t because of housing. LOTRO didn’t suffer because of housing.
The game is already a hub based M+/Raid or die grinder. The world is already empty. FFS.

I never said I don’t want player housing.
Where do you people get these things?
You know those gamer psych templates? My highest section is “Builder”. I should link some screenshots of my Minmus city from KSP…
Well you are arguing so much against housing… what are people supposed to think.
