Player housing is the best investment the developers can do for the game.
It is content that will last through expansions, and the people who enjoy it. Could build on to it more with each expansion. If done right, it could make older content revive besides for just mogs.
One thing added to the game that would last for years to come, and could be linked to all the zones content and dungeons in a way many other features can’t.
At this point, developers are dumb for not doing it.
Sounds like you never played through MoP.
I didn’t play WOD but that’s what I heard about it.
agreed
blizz spends to much time
on content few do
yes more social content
less toxic content
If you click on the people that liked the OP, only two people are regulars.
The rest are the alts of the same three people. Makes me wonder if the OP said to his friends “yo dude, come upvote my post!”
Same reason people are obsessed with raids, M+, PvP, gear design and transmog.
You can pull a chair out of guldan’s buttocks. IMAGINE THAT.
What more d you need? People hunting for cosmetics like no tomorrow, do you think we will NOT hunt for a sofa or a vase from random dungeon that we beat thousand of times?
I bet we will. And if this will be proper housing (not an instance like garrison) but literal house somewhere on azeroth and anyone can walk in there and check it out, rest, sip a cup of <whatever_gumbo> it would be INCREDIBLE. And imagine you literally need to buy land to build your house. Imaging you need to gather materials to build a wall, a window a roof and you start only with a tent of some sort.
I would spend MANY hours to do this. Since I can’t have my own house in real life at least my character will live in one and not in random floor of random Inn in relevant neutral ciTy™.
Not if they don’t, y’know, throw it aside, make it boring and give players reason to complain about it like fomo.
Some people might use in-game housing that way, plenty use social media that way. That is a cultural problem, not a utility problem. The intended purpose of an invention, is different from bravado.
The purpose of achievements is to create memories, and stories that one can share with their friends. It is like saying people place family pictures on their walls to show off. It usually isn’t the case. In some cases it might involve pride, but not always.
Proper implementation is 75% of the work. The other 25% is making it useful, and applicable in every piece of content. But yeah idk why people are hostile towards this idea. Its almost as if something could potentially go more terribly wrong than the last 2 expansions.
For me at least, its not that im opposed to player housing so much that after having seen how it unfolds in some other games ive played, looking at general player sentiment towards it, and seeing how the project looks like a big one which has also been a talking point of the devs as to why it hasnt been done yet, I am inclined to believe resources could be better allocated elsewhere for the time being.
I have been playing since BC, and I would LOVE player housing. One where we can choose what buildings to put in that area. Also, I would love to be able to add your alts (faction based ones) to that area as NPC’s when you log in with a different one.
solution would be to make it a module you have to buy from the game store, use the money they will make from it to justify hiring its very own new dev team who do nothing else but work on integrating it to the whole game and updating it
cause it let’s you show-off your hard-work playing the game with all sorts of rewards you pick-up from doing content (like raid-boss skulls to hang on the wall), working on professions (making furniture), and pvping (tattered enemy banners).
plus, it gives you somethin to do when there’s nothin to do, and (in the case of wildstar, rest in peace) it gives you mini-games you could do in your free-time.
Garrisons was an extremely lazy version of ‘Housing’ if you can even call it that — of giving everyone the same thing, in the same location, with no customisation options.
Prior to expansion release I thought we could make it any racial aesthetic architecture we desired within our faction, yet nope. You’re shoehorned into orc or human. Don’t like it? Too bad, now go get them apexis crystals - chop chop 
A good way they could implement it is using ideas they’ve pitched before and reworking it - For instance, Island Expeditions had portals that brought you into other zones - Like Titan-Uldum tomb or the elemental plains → They could rework that idea, into providing various zones, aesthetics and concepts for player housing. Add a system that allows ID friends or guildies - or heck, even your alts! – to visit your hub when you’re offline. As for the windows in the zones, they could simply add sky boxes. Really, the potential with just a little effort is limitless.
Why are you people so obsessed with what other people want in the game?
YES! The WORLD of Warcraft is BS, there has been zero effort to get people out of the newest areas since CATA. Well maybe Chromie helped a bit, but it’s really all short term leveling. I don’t know if player housing would be the answer either, we just need something.
I still think adding world quests that could be useful to max level in all zones, and bringing back the War in Warcraft with random assaults around Azeroth would fill the world a bit more.
Make old world mats useful for new max level items.
Add new model mogs in old expansion professions.
Maybe splash a few new world bosses around Azeroth
i can tell you what will happen. the delusional people that think this would be a great addition will log in. play house for 2 hours or whatever perverted things they do in there and log out.
then you, me and everyone else will have to do it to get the attached achievements, pets, mounts, titles, and cosmetics from it.
no to player housing
People can do that now in their garrison but instead they fill up the Goldshire Inn.
You have no way of knowing this. You’re speculating.
It’s not up to you.
there is your player housing. because if there was no achievements, pets, mounts, titles and cosmetics attached to it. then you already have it. the inn.
every single thing in this game ever since the inception of achievements in wotlk has something attached to it.
no but its my game to and as long as i am paying and playing i will be a massive voice to deter this crap of housing ideas.
