Will you start/go back to playing WoW if they add housing in the next expac?

Just curious how much housing is a draw for people.

Perhaps I'm in a minority but even if someone paid me I would not want to play World of Warcraft at this point.

I just can't agree more. I won't support things that support sexual harassment, and toxic environments. If the game doesn't have their own employees back in such a situation, then how can I trust them to deal with my problems. I've been harassed in games before, and stalked. There's plenty of stigma about such situations, but it should be taken seriously. One of those incidents led to said player following me in real life. I'm glad it was XIV, and not WoW, because I don't think WoW would have cared. I quit as soon as the allegations happened.

Doesn't WoW already have housing? Personally, WoW is still ass backwards and has race/alignment-specific classes which is enough for me to not want to play, besides that it is massively graphically outdated.

Graphics style is on purpose, not outdated.

It's lined up to look a lot like the RTS games, which were in themselves, very cartoony. it was a deliberate design choice.

There are no more alignment specific classes. There are still race restrictions but honestly, they're not bad. I've seen worse.

And no, it does not have housing. it's got shitty garrisons, which are more like a functioning fort, but not anything close to personal, customizable, housing.

I might go check it out at the launch of the new expansion as I always do, but I won't count on it as being a guarantee.

It'd take a lot more than that for me, personally. I loved the game growing up, but I haven't played in at least 4-5 years, and the stuff going on at the company basically ensured I wouldn't give them any more of my money until some big changes happened at the company and the employees had a safe working environment.

Nothing could ever make me play WoW again. It was a trash heap when I left and it only got worse. Besides I'd feel gross giving Blizzard money, Activision acquisition or no. But I'm also not a recent convert to this game so I'm probably not who you're intending to poll. Still, it's a forum so... *hits post*

I don't generally like the say "never" but my chances of going back to wow are between 0 and none, went back once when a friend raved about how legion was so great and "like wrath", I forgot to take in to account his blind fanboy fanaticism. Best thing? The bastid didn't even play long after I rejoined, 2-3 months(he didn't even bother to get max lvl), ah well at least it wasn't hundreds of bucks wasted lol.

The house will probably tie into some sort of power system making it more necessary than even FFXIV to have one. They'll limit it in every way possible until the last patch, when they unveil that they could've kept it unlimited all along anyway.
Keep that hopium up though.

[Larirawiel]

I will look into the next expansion even without housing. And yes ... fool me 8 times, shame on me.


Cheers
