I don't know what houseing is but I know what housing is. And yes, I want housing.

I'd like player housing, and have no problem with guild housing although I'm not in a guild, don't intend to be, and have no wish for guild housing to be introduced before player housing.

That said, I would have a problem with guild housing if it took the form of guild halls or some other structure in which all normal town activities including crafting were concentrated in guild facilities resulting in the towns becoming empty ghettos (such as in EQ2, for example).

Housing in this game would be one of the easiest adds.. to start with. If we just get basic housing, then special adds later, all they need to do is add a portal somewhere that would be an "Solo instance". much like going into the harborage or other solo instances. Go in the portal.. and it takes you to your house.. easy LOL. Add in a "housing merchant" that could sell things like chests, armor stands, furniture, and other stuff that we might "need". Another great idea would be to have different race merchants. This would allow you to finally get your argonian rug or that elusive nord bear skin blanket for your bed .. Another kicker... housing could be based on race.. your "house" would represent your race.

Housing to my mind is a complete waste of time and resources. It's hard to think of a feature I want less. What would be the point?

I dont personally care about guild housing , but sure , i would like player housing.

To be honest , i expected the game to come with the basic TES features already implemented :P , but i guess i expected too much heh.

Player yes, guild doesn't seem to really make sense in my opinion.

Most people play without a guild so that investing in that Feature seems a bit less important. That said, not many people raid and still every content update has a new one so ...

Well if the do like SWTOR have done i don't have any problem that we can't have playing house in this game and what the did in SWTOR was the DIDN'T add crafting stations in the player house that way hubs will still be full with people

So you want them to half-@ss it....yea that'll go over well.

For all of you who really want player housing just take a blank page of paper, draw a bed on it and put a window in there as well.

Tape it beside your monitor and BAM you got your house.

To think it's going to be a place where you can store all your extra junk like in single player ES titles your fooling yourself, and to think the majority of people will be interested in hanging out at your house other than the very small group of hard core RPing players your also fooling yourself.

I really can't see a reason why the devs are willing to spend resources on such a thing other than a gold sink, and honestly believe it's just going to be a big let down since all of you are hoping for so much like other ES titles futured in housing.

Then again I could be compleaty wrong, no one knows, not even I.

I think anyone would want player/guild housing. Still a nice poll though!

I think those who like to play with doll houses moved to Archeage already...

Is that the one that looks like a Chinese knockoff of Final Fantasy but with a REALLY in-depth character creation system?

When dealing with a megaserver, as we do, the use of terms like "not many" when used in conjunction with "people utilize guilds" or "even raid", are likely to be WOEFULLY inaccurate.

There are MORE than enough people participating in "raids" to justify the addition of group content, again and again and again and again.

Even more yet that take part in utilizing the guild functionality of the game.

What you stated is akin to "Not that many people eat burritos so....meh"

Its not inaccurate at all, its a proven point that the amount of raiders is less than 10% and I would assume that those who are in an active guild membership are maybe 30-40%.

If you now do the math than you get the answer for your wrong assumption

I understand that raiders and hardcore gamers believe they are a majority but this isn't the truth I am sorry

Besides that, player housing is accessible for everyone. Guild housing wont so the discussion what matters more is not even worth a discussion as its a clear fact which everyone should be able to see.

In the end ZO will decide what's coming and not you or me. That said they are pretty much aware that catering to a minority like in the earlier updates until 5 wont last forever. A lot of people are angry about the one sided content so far and while Blizz is able to survive with that mentality I doubt ZO could.

Adding content for everyone to use sounds more plausible than content for small groups.

Oh okay cool.

You got the links with these numbers on them? I like reading those types of articles.

I'm sorry if I portrayed myself as a hardcore raider, I'm not at all. But I will admit I enjoy partaking of content with other players.

Sure solo contents great, but new zones to explore and new story content to experience with friends and guildmates is what I'm after.

And of course ZOS is gonna do what they're gonna do, it's their perogative. But I'm curious, what minority were they catering to in previous updates? Are you trying to tell me this MMO is full of people that wanna play by themselves and hate interacting with other players?

If that's true, then that's just sad. It's an MMO set in the Elder Scrolls universe, MMO being the operative "word". If people are wishing and hoping this becomes Elder Scrolls 6, they're going to be disappointed at every turn. Me? I'm waiting for more story, the whole Veteran levels business feels like a gap-filler in my opinion.

ZOS is trying to cater to the crowd that plays MMO's while trying to balance it with the diehard Elder Scrolls fans, and at times they're damned if they do damned if they don't. It's the vicious circle of never being able to please everyone.

Also, you better like burritos or we're no longer friends.

I'd love guild housing to be like Guild Wars 1. Your guild has a big arena, and you can battle other guilds in your/their arena.

That was cool the Guild Halls. if you mentioned the GW1, then there's the hall of monument. Collect weapons, armors, mini pets, titles, etc. Statues everywhere. I like it.

Housing here like in Skyrim that would be more awesome. ZoS said they are thinking about it and want to do. That means a lot to me. I know it will not be now but really looking forward to.
