They also need to entirely revamp scribing before they add a housing system assuming scribing would be tied to it. Yes, anet needs a housing system other then instanced personal housing (or basically the new housing system should replace the old if a player chooses so). It would have to over come the current, but maybe a community village would be coded differently (i mean there's WvW map's so clearly it could work). The basic idea would be that you don't need to be in a party to visit different housing communities and tour through their homes looking at the different design choices they've made or how some people decorate. OPEN WORLD housing is currently highly unlikely, but instanced Village or community housing has potential.
People want to be creative and show off their decorating skills to the masses not a few. (Kind of like a solo personal guild hall.) Anet should think of housing like armor. Yes you could decorate but nobody other then the 4 people in your party could ever see it. What i would really DISLIKE is if they added scribing to personal instances. I think that if they made the home instances non-instanced places and replaced the home instances with an actual housing system it could actually work or just keep the home instances and use a certain building or w/e for the player to use as a personal house.
