So i would like the house to be seen in the open world but when you enter it takes to an “instanced” place which represents inside the house.
Is this an option?
In other games where I’ve had instanced housing you’ve had the option to allow visitors. You can usually pick from invite only, friends only, guild members, anyone etc. And set permissions accordingly. Obviously you usually only want them to be able to come look, not pick anything up or move stuff or worse take it away!
Some people were very proud of what they’d done.

i don’t think that’s what it is. that specifically says petition. which seems like we can’t draw people from here to sites like change . this is a discussion including a poll . not a petition for blizzard but you’re the green one so idk
The instanced can still show the house. But more so if it’s an apartment because then it will merely just show the front door, then you instance when you click the door.
If its an outdoor house it’s a little more tricky, perhaps you enter a neigbourhood with houses around, and you phase into your house when you reach a point?
I belive instance is your option then?
Read the words 
They don’t want a discussion thread which is just all replies saying yes no etc.
But as long as we actually have a discussion it’s all fine. Which we are doing. As did the other poll.
It’s nice to have some interesting discussions on the forum for a change.
The two other games I play have this as an option. People can visit and interact with objects but they cannot rearrange or take stuff. I love going to my neighbour who has an oven with a dragon in it. If you interact with the dragon it breaths fire and you can cook your food 
Small thing I know but it gives me great pleasure doing it.

None. It’s customisation that you’re not showing unless you openly say to people you wanna show it off. In other words, it does not innately enhance your appearance in the game world, and it draws you out of said game world.
It does not belong in an MMORPG. It never has.
Instanced, otherwise we’ll get literal suburbs of player houses (Imagine Elwynn forest, filled border to border with houses), or if the number of spaces is limited, huge competition for the best spots, and/or people plopping down the most unsightly things just to troll people.
“Spontaneous player interaction”, when has that ever happened outside of RP-servers?

It’s funny even OSRS which is ancient these days, has player housing.
So many other games (including MMOs) have player housing it’s just a shame it’s not something Blizzard invested in. Yet!!!
I loved my garrison and wished we had more decoration. I also loved how people would open their garrisons up to let people use specific traders everyday as it was rng.
This is for people that wants player housing, as stated in the first sentence
Also with this being a mmoRPG so having an RPG element such as player housing absolutely fits into the game.
You can’t determine who’s allowed to post in your threads, as is evident.
Anyway, I wanted to say my piece on that. Peace.
Sure, but I have a different post just for that. My other poll, if the player wants player housing or not.
Maybe you should post a link to it in the opening post, to note that a discussion is over there and this is a separate one.
Instanced is my choice and also the only way it will ever work in this game, imo. I think about the farm in Pandaria, how everyone could see the plot of land, but it changed to your personal space as soon as you crossed into it. I imagine that’s also how delves will work. Instancing is also better for server resources, I’m sure.
None, go play sims 4 instead
How would open world housing even work? There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of active players, imagine how crowded every zone would be with houses everywhere? And how would it be decided who gets to put their house where? First come first serve? or whoever has most gold gets the best spot? And what a bout the more technical end of things? how would the servers handle thousands of detailed houses, when it can barely handle 100 players in one place. The performance would absolutely tank, flying through a zone with 15fps and stutter, no thanks.
I dont think open world housing is either practical or even possible.

I hated the Horde one and went Ally for the better looking garrison. 
I also wish we could have customised more with it. It had so much potential.

I want to see my neighbours and the houses they created, idc if it’s soft instance or open world.
Some games have OpenWorld housing, however it looks bad. Cluttered houses everywhere.
