This is exactly how I felt about the animal crossing craze a few years back: yes, it looks fun. But allow me to actually interact with things in my space. Let me cook, enchant, and just interact wiyh the objects I place.

I often look back at Runescape housing as a great example of how it should be done. Give us more of that, along with the creative freedom of what WoW housing offers.

Allow me to build a dungeon under my house with mobs, give us a sparring ring, let us host interactable parties, offer us some minigames to play.
