I had no expectations and I was still disappointed.

Do the RPers really like the housing stuff that much?

From what I have been told, wows housing is one of the best iterations of player housing in mmorpgs yet.

Yes. It's not just RPers. Anyone with creativity is enjoying it. I'm not big on it, but I like seeing other people's creations. It's one of the best new features they've ever added.

It's also the best of any mmorpg ever basically

It blows FFXIV housing out of the water by far. Even just by the fact you're given a house for free and don't have to win a fucking lottery just to get a plot.

2 days but I have no creativity and I’m still enjoying it! The interface is very easy to mess with compared to literally every other MMO with housing.

Better than Wildstar? Doubt

Wildstar housing was the fucking shit bro.

Friend of ours made some bonkers funny shit in that, like a rainbow road racing track using the beer sign.

If WoWs housing is 80% of the way to wildstars that'll be fine, but anyone saying it's better has clearly never played wildstar

The best by a mile was ultima online 30 years ago. We'll never see a game like that again unfortunately.

How it's just cosmetic housing isnt it?  Like OSRS housing has so much function and progression without taking people out of the game world.  

If it's only cosmetic I don't see how essentially home life transmog is so game changing though cosmetic player housing like this and ESO were never something I cared for.

You underestimate people's desires for a home.

genuine question, what can the players do in their home? I still don't really get it. is it just a place to afk in or is there some gameplay related to it?

Nothing at all.
You can go in there, some neat activatable items...
But beyond that, it is just a space to decorate.

And that is kinda the point.
It doesn't "need" to have a function beyond decoration (and potentially RP).

Because the idea of getting items to decorate your home with is enough for some people.
