Yeah, some players dont care, and many just dont know the point because they never had the experience of a well developed housing system in another mmo. With that out of the way, lets also consider:
1. There is the demand.
2. Its pretty much the last tradicional mmo feature missing in GW2.
3. The resources are there, you just have to create an ingame excuse for getting some empty spaces (HOUSES) inside the home instance and let us use scribing for ourselves instead of guild halls. Give the option to choose home instance or guild halls for every new scribing crafted item.
4. It creates space for a lot of new content through collections, activities we can do with friends inside our houses (minis battle game?), a way of showing our achievements with armories and trophies, and of course, CUSTOMIZATION that is one of the pillars of an mmo.
5. SCREW TENGU IVE BEEN WAITING HOUSING IN THIS GAME SINCE LAUNCH.
6. If you are not gonna do it, can you please explain us why not?

A very disappointed player that insists giving a chance to a game that insists in wasting potential.
