Argument against what exactly? Petulance?
I mean, yeah, obviously.
Can you elaborate? How does furniture acquisition work in SWTOR?

I wouldn’t say “frustration” but judging on past performance, I have very very very low expectations when it comes to the quality of Blizzards attempt at ‘player housing’.

Im sure it will be tied to whatever island content they created when its released with some form of “housing token” style currency to unlock most of appearances, with the rest tied behind achievements, CE box sales and the monthly token shop.
Sure. In SWTOR lots of stuff dropped furniture along with your usual loot. It was funny when people were arguing over a chair and ignoring the lightsaber drops 
A LARGE bunch of cosmetics and furniture was thru microtransactions but a reasonable chunk of it was from achievements, doing content, random drops. In one event you earned currency that allowed you to buy a bunch of different Carbonite wall decorations for instance.
The system they used was to have various homes called Strongholds. Depending on which stronghold (which had a set multi level floor plan) you could have a number of “hook points” which allowed you to put stuff there. On the floors, walls, ceilings (depending on the furniture) and you could rotate and move them to a certain degree. It was actually pretty damn good. You could also put your pets, mounts on the various points.

A quest chain that has quests that only pop up at intervals.
Oyeah. I still do it to this day. 
Every single type of content. Professions, vendors, rep vendors, achievements, dungeons, raids, PvP, open world drops… all the things!

Each time you did the equivalent of a dungeon, you get snapshot picture/Holo that you can collect and hang up on the walls. I think it capped out at a certain amount per dungeon but it was still a decent number.
Petulence for what I’m paying for monthly to come out at all once instead of being spread as thin as possible to boost retention numbers?
What did Blizzard have for dinner last night? For some reason you seem like the right guy to ask.
I remember the achievement wall hangings for Veteran and Hard Mode. Is that what you mean?
I expect that, like every type of collectible cosmetic in WoW or in MMOs in general, there will be a variety of items with different sources, some of which require a lot of work to get, some of which don’t. I don’t know why anyone would expect differently.
Kinda. Back when I was playing it a lot I did do a lot of the Flashpoints (Dungeons) so I had a lot of drops. They did cap out, but I can’t remember if the diff modes had diff rewards tho.
Meh, if they all came out at once, some people would do everything in the first few weeks (if not days) and then complain that there was nothing else to do. Then unsub. Then pop number for LFG and so forth would drop. Then everybody else complains. Then… etc.
Timegating is now a fact of life with all games. The alternative was stupidly grindy threadmills. Like in DAOC where you had to not just level, but then level your Artifact weapons. Like killing 1000 low pop rate sharks WITH the weapon in question or something else inane. 100s of hours. Yeah, no.
These ones?
I got creative with them in a couple places.

Very nice. I’m still subbed even tho I haven’t logged in months. I’ll see if I can grab a screenie or two for you too.
One other factor with the SWTOR Housing is that you could put things like mailbox and AH and the like in your House too. But I’m told that when they had that in Legion? they were very unhappy because it made the Capital cities a desolate wasteland. Not sure how they will address that here.
Warlords Garrisons. But that’s not what made cities empty. The Garrison was a questing and profession hub. Everything could be done there. Not just mail and bank. The AH was a pain to get the parts to unlock it.
Ah ok, thanks. I wasn’t playing WoW at all during that period so I missed it. I was actually going to come back just for Garrisons. But then I got reports on how it worked and I … didn’t bother.
So because someone pays for a streaming service monthly they should get every new show at once, filming and editing time be damned? That’s not remotely realistic.
Are the adult pacifiers and bassinets the same price? For some reason you seem like the right guy to ask.

Do you not have a life outside of WoW?

Not time gated… I just suspect it is going to be riddled with massive amounts of micro transactions not too long after release.
