Not true. Instanced housing gets seen all the time in the other games that use it. Players generally can teleport directly to their friends' housing, and there are ways to "advertise" housing and search for housing open to guests. I used to spend hours in RIFT not only working on my own housing Dimensions (I had 11 active Dimensions across my 5 characters) but touring the Dimensions that other players had listed and I was frequently running into other players looking around at the same time I was. I know of players who have had similar experiences with the housing in ESO and in Wildstar (before it was shut down).

In the meantime, ward housing here rarely gets seen by other players unless someone goes out of their way to advertise in shout chat or on Discords despite it not being instanced. I spent several months in the yard of my house grinding out crafting achievements this expansion. How often did I see random players wandering through the ward or stopping by to check out my house? Three times and two of those times they ran away when they found me in my yard.

Instanced housing would be far better for the game. Everyone who wanted a house plot could get one, and other players would be able to freely visit as long as guest access was enabled.
