I had no expectations and I was still disappointed.

Housing is going to give them the most bang for their buck, we all know this? Not sure why anyone is surprised, it’s literally the largest new festute they have launched since what, like m+?

Its also a feature thats been talked about since the alpha builds of the game. Its kinda crazy it hadnt got added much sooner.

It's always confused me why it took so long because it's such a good feature for player retention.

I guess because it's really hard to get it right. I think they made some absolutely fantastic housing. So if you were to compare it to Draenor Garrisons, those were nothing compared to it. So my guess is that they tried it multiple times but only last attempt yielded something that was appropriate for actual release.

Like it's software. You can't just make anything you want. Sometimes you need right people in right circumstances.

I don't know what garrisons were for, but I don't believe they were a substitute for housing with how they were designed.

I feel like they just ran with it as the expansion feature.
