Here goes…I desire player housing over new raids, new zones, AND new BGs. But. Im not the only person who plays this game, and my my opinion weighs as much as one persons opinion vs the millions of others.
So. Give me your fors and against for Player Housing.
and GO.

For: It would make Warthin the best expansion to ever happen (if they surprise us and put that in the game of course).
Against:

It feels like Warbands is the first step towards player housing. I’m picturing an instanced area (perhaps in any major city) where your alts walk around as NPCs.

I personally don’t care either way…but I doubt that the effort and resources needed to implement a player housing system would really be beneficial to most players or do much to draw in more players. If anything, it would likely make the overall game worse by degrading the quality of what most players are here for.
I think its too late for this game to have that. It just hasn’t garnered that kind of audience. Even the housing in FF took awhile to take off and that game has alot of side/casual content over a decade to indulge in for that kind of playerbase.
Adding: emotes/customization on characters is also a big deal on why housing works there. Something WoW’s admittedly cartoony graphics just doesn’t have.
At this point (19 years in), it’s just weird that WoW does not have good player housing.

I miss the housing in Ultima Online. Every game since then, the housing has been nothing of trophy hanging hook points in massive empty zones that people very rarely visit. It just seems to me to be a massive waste of resources and dev time to design and implement these features.

At the very least it would need to be slowly integrated, I think. Maybe starting with giving Warband camps an actual physical instanced location in the game that you can redesign and invite people to.
Generally speaking it’s something I really like in games. 90% of my time in FFXIV is spent either glamoring or decorating. Granted, you need certain addons for the decorating in that game to be tolerable.

I would never interact with player housing and if its going to cost content I would actually interact with I’d rather they never add it.

SWTOR is one of the worst offenders. It’s all but impossible to make a decent, normal looking home, and they’re deliberately made as huge as possible to sell furniture packs on the market. Even the “apartment” was gigantic, and the hook arrangements are so awkward and uniform that their only real utility is displaying rare items in sequence.
I don’t feel strongly either way, but I probably wouldn’t care about or use player housing for my own characters, especially if it weren’t account-bound and easy to access.
Unless they do an insane amount of work on it like the Sims, I’m not sure how player housing could be very fun or improve the game significantly.
PH AND GH both just bring the character identity, world feeling and social together and better…

It’d be the easiest thing ever for Blizzard to implement. They have the skeletons of a housing system to already build off of.
And rewards for housing can easily be tied into the reward systems already present in the game.
Blizzard honestly has an easier opportunity to do this and do it better than most other MMOs.

You can have your opinion on player housing, mine is I’m not interested in that.

Yeah. We all saw how much of an impact player housing had on that game’s player retention, lol.

I just think this is a dreadful boring idea in every game… I find the adventuring and dragon slaying much more fun than idling in a virtual apartment…

It doesnt replace adventuring…its where you go afterwards to display your trophies

Same. I mean in games like the Sims I see how people can like it, you have so much freedom and the house design is a game in its own right. But that sounds like so much work to implement in WoW, I think I would rather that work go into a raid tier to be honest.

I’d rather just be able to place my Garrison in any zone of any expansion. I don’t see my hero having a Stormwind Loft like the aristocracy.
