And as housing is not a primary focus of this game, it will have to take a back seat to quests and dungeons too.
If SE's concern was instance capacity limits, Trust would not be a thing because that's also an entire instance being devoted to a single player. Solo duties would not be a thing because that is an instance being used by a single player.

You're also ignoring the fact that the interiors of our houses along with our apartments and FC private chambers are already instanced. If it were that much of a problem, we wouldn't have any housing at all.

I can only be in a single instance at a time. If I'm in a dungeon, then I'm not in my housing so my housing isn't using up instance server space. If I'm in my housing, then I'm not in a dungeon so that's one less dungeon instance using up server space.
