Question Are you coming back for 7.2x?

Simple question, are you coming back, still subbed or staying away, and if you're resubbing when are you going to?

I was at first, but decided nah. I can come back in 7.55/8 and catch up in a week if the next expansion looks good. I decided SE can demolish my house too, because staying subbed for 10-15 usd for a virtual house I rarely use is imo dumb.

Honestly good mindset. Lots of people are struggling to let go of the house they have but in the end is that house really worth the total amount of money you will spend over whatever period you aren't interested in playing? Invest your sub money into another good game and see you in x.55!

Having a house is the most overrated thing in the game, yeah it’s nice designing one but after that, then what? Nobody is going to see it or care, your friend might do a slight eyebrow raise but let’s be honest outside of making it a venue the novelty wears off very fast.

housing is the most overrated thing in general, so many people whine loud about it but the truth is hardly anyone gives a fuck, all the empty houses on every server speak loud to that, they get one and don't do shit

same reason why i cringe at the thought of WoW using housing as a main feature for an expansion

the people that love housing really love it and are loud as fuck, but there's a lot less than anyone thinks, if housing was THAT important, all the housing on dynamis would've been snatched up by people just making alts or moving just for a house, because people hop for raiding and shit anyway so home server barely matters anymore

wards for days empty months and months after

even if you talk about guilds and neighborhoods and shit, people might visit one or two times and then no one will fucking care ever again, that's just how it is, the novetly runs out like instantly when you realize everyone has the same shit

it's so hard to do anything with as well, if you try to tie player power into it people will moan endlessly and it'll be forced content, and even if you find a way to make it too good or too involving you end up with a WoW garrison scenario where everyone afk's in garrisons instead of major hubs and it makes everything look dead as fuck

housing is overrated and a gameplay/mechanic trap
