One thing I don't get about WoW?

in World of Warcraft

In the past warcraft games you could build/destroy buildings. Why not in WoW?

    Welcome to Battlegrounds!! well Alterac Valley at least. You capture and/or destroy the opposing faction's buildings in order to further yourself. Now i know its not the same was the other Warcraft games but like it was just said, those were strategy based games and this is a MMORPG... it would be kinda hard for everyone to be building all of this stuff in the world at one time... not enough space for that kind of deal.

    Yep RPG=RTS

    Result: False(0)

    Two Way different type of games. I'm mainly impressed that they managed to implement a W3 feeling with BG.

    I have a feeling that that will be implemented.

    It failed because of many other reasons, not that.

    I dont think SB failed because of one factor. But thats besides the point.
    The point why WoW doesnt have destroyable buildings, castles and such is because there are so many things that you can do to make a game well balanced, playable and in time to satisfy investors. If they would make Housing and such then theyd have to either take away time from making classes or some other crucial feature.
    Basicaly, you have a team of programmers and a certain time frame. You can do this much with those resources in that amount of time. You gotta sacrifice something in order to build another thing.
    Sure if Bliz had ten thousand expert programmers who would be paid 10cents per haour then perhaps they could compe up with a game so complex that it would include everything or most things from real life, buildings, economy, market, physics and AI close to human I.

    I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.
