WoW's player housing will have no FOMO and private housing wards

[VoidsentStatus]

Everything else is vague at best, especially considering they want the entire system to be deeply social yet some of the stated features will destroy any meaningful social aspect over time.

This was the part that bothered me was the amount of hypocrisy or things that we know failed in the past when it came to being social. One of the things someone from WoW told me on VC yesterday was also a thing where, WoW doesn't have as good of a system surrounding the enjoyment of housing as what FF14 does. Even if they deliver on housing, the character models are trash compared to ff14, the plugin community for RP/QoL in that specific area is mediocre compared to ff14 (do not use these, these are against ToS), their emote system is trash compared to ff14 with me hearing they haven't added an emote since Obama was president, and the glam style of WoW is not versatile with them having casual clothing etc. They won't have nightclub attire, they won't have pajamas, and other themes for various housing environments, they won't have the visual quality, emotes and other animations for enjoyment of the housing in a social aspect as much compared to ff14. Their playerbase should fundamentally have less of a social interest in housing than what we do. Which makes them assume, they're going to go in some completely other direction for the appeal for housing to players. Paying to upgrade housing is something they predicted as well, and essentially leaning into a more company workshop-orientated system with surrounding decoration might be more accurate to what they planned. Their housing demand may be different just off them incorporating housing with PvE elements moreso than ff14 does, which could decrease it a lot or spike it to hell if it's like free company buffs on steroids. We don't really have our devs saying things like: "Housing isn’t something players should expect to “finish”, but instead continually look forward to the next housing release, be it new content or systems. " Like, this could go sideways very quickly and turn from a side project for fun to something that requires maintenance/updating.
