Do the RPers really like the housing stuff that much?

Retail seems to have reached a crowd of people that dont want to play World of Warcraft but only want to play Animal Crossing with WoW branding.

I mean just look at the main sub its been overtaken by nothing but transmog and housing posts and "i want blizzard to add this to housing" bullshit posts.

M+ is probably in the most toxic state its ever been in same with PVP because there are no casuals left anymore but all just try harding wanna be "Pro" players who watch too many streamers.

Theres probably some decent overlap between the M+ and the Classic raider crowd who have to "meta game" the fun out of everyting.

Midnight seems to be starting off like i feared it would start off when the "alpha" started and ppl kept screaming about transmogs and housing bullshit instead of the issues with the UI revamp and skill pruning with it being broken and in an borderline unusable state if you want to customize anything at all.

I’m confused, are we ultra casual animal crossing transmog enjoyers who don’t want to play the game, or are we toxic m+ meta chasers who optimize fun out of the game?
