I mean, other than people who have played whichever game you reference, no one knows what you're talking about. Perhaps it would be more helpful to describe what you want them to do instead of simply saying "But, <insert other game name here> does it better...".
Don't worry about "picking on". xD I've described it quite a few times, but to clarify: In WildStar, the housing system works as individual plots in their own instances. Each plot has an exterior (currently with an item limit of 1,000, though in the next patch that limit will be going up to 2,500), and you can choose to place a house if you want that has a separate interior (with its own item limit of 1,000, soon to be 2,500).

Housing plots can be set as private, neighbor-only, or public. (Neighbors are basically people you grant special invite access to.) You can customize the ground, the skybox, the exterior and interior of the house, and the lighting inside, as well as the music that plays (can be different exterior and interior). With the large item limits and robust decor placement (you can manipulate an item on XYZ axes, as well as resize it), you can pretty much create anything you can dream of. There are also pre-arranged "fabkits" that you can plug into slots on the plot, many of which come with interactive challenges or even scalable instances. A future incoming feature is "neighborhoods", where players will be able to link up multiple plots to create one massive... well, neighborhood.

It's hard to fully describe the level of customization and how absurdly awesome the housing community is. xD Google up some housing plots if you wanna see what people can do with a housing system that actually works for them, instead of something that... does the exact opposite, as we have here in FFXIV.
