It’s common practice in multi-level companies with budget targets.

They bring a lot of good ideas to the table for like an expansion, then promptly forget it exists and never touch it again. Mostly Blizzard just needs to stop making abandonware systems. More tiers to grow your garrison even larger until it’s a small or medium-sized township, selections for what sort of architecture your garrison takes (I’d love some Nightborne/Highborne Night Elf architecture, honestly), even just some meager interior customization for the inn or a personal home on one of the new slots you’d unlock for tier 4/5… They would have gone a long way to solve both requests for player housing, and for guild housing, if they’d have just kept going with the idea and continued to expand it even after WoD was over. I just wish garrisons hadn’t gotten abandoned after WoD. Can’t really personalize or do much creatively when it’s a shared zone with other people (which, makes sense for them to be as well). I also get why, despite loving some of the order halls and wanting to vibe in them more and decorate, that we can’t - it’s a shared instanced with other people playing the same class through Legion. I mean, I don’t really mind order halls being separate from garrisons. They kept starting over and delivered shallow fishbowl instead of creative space. if they allowed a single unified instanced player sandbox space to be where it is in the world, behind a ‘garrison hearthstone’ and develop it as a core feature, it could’ve served the role of farmville, player housing, guild halls and w/e else.

The farm-garrison-order hall mistake was that each expansion they made a new one.
