Housing only interested me because I thought there might be storage.

Decorating? Furniture crafting? Zero benefit to my character = zero interest from me.

Housing is a little lacking without storage. Something I would like to see in the future to make it more worth the cost - the ability to craft any craftable set at the craft stations in your home.

Also, I hope they implement a buyable or hireable bard for houses one day. I will miss the bard at the Velyn Harbor bank and I would so spend money on that.

It's not an issue for me, I only use crafted sets, I don't have the patience or the inclination to grind for gear so naturally I just make new sets whenever I feel like it, the advantage is that while I may lose some effectiveness again complete control over my equipment. And I don't need to store any so whether or not housing provide more storage really doesn't matter to me.

I'd really like it if you could display certain items specially ones that dropped during the main quest, many of these have nice little notes about stories and places you've been. But I'm just as happy having them in the bank. I like the idea of the housekeeper, the way the article describe it, I think I have a thing for minions.

I think what I want most out of housing is just to be able to go completely crazy. To fill the place with just stuff, I wanna be able to take a friend in there and have them go wow! Most of all I want an enormous library, with nearly 3 1/2 million in the bank I'm going straight for the biggest places I can find

The reason we haven't been given storage is that it would reduce the need for players to buy bank space upgrades or become ESO plus subscribers for the craft bag.

I would buy houses everywhere and throw my wealth into all the peasants' faces. Then, at the end of the day, when all the actors leave for the intermission and I'm left alone in my richly and tastefully decorated interior, I would leave all masks and pretenses at the entrance, and cry over the lack of storage and friends.
The rooms will feel hollow somehow.

I loved reading that.

What the benefit of housing to me? Something new to do. I am tired of questing, crafting,grinding, stealing, delving into dungeons, and dalies. I just want a place to call my own and new items to collect. That would make the above things interesting again. Stuff that benefit my character? He does not need any more stuff. He just needs more stuff to do. All I need is new systems that can make the old systems refreshing.

I have zero storage issues, and I wonder how much it can be solved by adding loads more bank space and improving the bank sorting system and UI.

For me, housing will basically be a personalized bank with fast travel access. I'll roleplay that it's an HQ for all my characters to work out of, and probably give them all their own unique homes as well, but for the most part it's just my new uber-convenient bank location, where the bank NPC won't be hidden by a cluster**** of other players

I really would love to see weapon plaques and armour mannequins though. That's got to happen.

I like the idea of having a house and decorating it.

The problem is unless there's something else I can do with it I can't see myself going back until I want to change the decorations, which makes them sort of pointless. I like spending time and gold on my characters appearance because then I can enjoy the finished look while I'm playing. But I'd have to stop playing and travel to a separate location to see how my house looks, and then it sounds like there would be very little to do while I'm there except look at the decorations.

I think I'd like it more if we could add any item we can pick up to the houses. In other Elder Scrolls games I'll look out for books I like (especially the Dance in Fire and Wolf Queen series so I could read them in order) and interesting items I can use to decorate. I sometimes add 'trophies' from my adventures like dragon bones or staffs from Goblin caves, but mostly it's things I think would look good in my house. (But even then I'd mainly go back to my house to drop off items I didn't want to sell until my merchantile skill/level was higher and I could get a good price and I'd maybe read the books or look at the other stuff while I was there.)

But it sounds like the only items we can add are decorations that are crafted or bought from players and the crown store for that purpose. We can't find decorations out in the world. or add existing items to the house. So a lot of the novelty value is lost for me.

I will do nothing. If there is truly no storage, ive lost all interest in "housing". A "house" where you can't store things...smh. ZOS , when you're good, you're good. However, Its decisions like this that make me wonder wtf are they thinking? Please reconsider.

They could just let ESO Plus members have storage, and for gear only. That would add to numbers of subscribers rather than subtract (and also cause a mass outrage on the forums).

So situation normal

Yeah, I am a little disappointed with the initial lack of storage.

But I still see housing as being somewhat valuable, at least to me. I for one find it extremely tedious to be running around a city to each of the different crafting tables, sometimes having to go back because I forgot to do something. (The only place I've found that doesn't really have this problem is Mournhold). So if nothing else it'll be nice to (hopefully) create a space where everything is close together.

Also, is there any word on whether crafting tables will be purchasable with gold, or will it be something limited to the crown store?

All crafting stations, merchant assistant, banker assistant, stable to buy food for mounts. Dps test dummy. Free teleport there from anywhere. No lagg from duelling and skill spammers.

Even without storage, which will be coming in the future anyway, there's a lot of practicality in houses in their design already. All it's missing is a popular guild trader hub, but some of the house locations may even be near them.
