I know people can be very vocal about housing but I'm pretty sure it isn't as big of an issue for most people as it seems when you look at the forums/social media. In just about every game I've played that had more accessible housing only a small portion of the player base engaged with it and I can only assume that to be the case here too. People who want it are more passionate about it but on the whole I can understand why it isn't as big a priority as content with a more wide appeal to it. Having a pretty place of your own to idle at is nice but it isn't really "playable content" if that makes sense.
