Player generated content generally sucks, especially if you have Wow's demographics.

I've seen player build clanhalls fail to produce anything decent as well, they just cram in all the cool goodies and leave it at that. I guess you'd really need to look at mushes to see what works, and even then it wouldn't be helpful because they have a different userbase. What could work is making building a player skill, allowing players to build to make money, which might create a working system of demand and supply with talented builders making a profit.

I also doubt that private player housing is a good idea, it physically remove players from the game if they spend time there.
