this is just my opinion, no hates please :) but many of them in Fairy Tail viewed Ft as a family because either, they have no relatives left at all (Erza, Gray, Mirajane and siblings) and the Makarov accepted them in and they are just like "They're so nice!" and slowly they start to look at it as a family. While some is there just for the sake of joining a guild (too many to list oops) but because they went through so much that even after the timeskip, some of them stil stayed in Ft because they believe their friends would come back and that means that they really viewed Ft like a home. Unlike school, which you'll be there for just a period of time. A guild is a place where you learn and work there for as long as you want, so I don't think it's really suiting to compare them to each other. But at the same time, Natsu is being selfish too because maybe not all of them are willing to go back because they might have found themselves a better place then Ft. But Natsu being just Natsu, he'll just do it because he wants his family to get back together, thats why. Anyway, we know that by the end, the guild is gonna be brought back by him because the reason behind the guild name even suggests that Ft will not end easily and I don't see any point on arguing and criticizing each other because one's opinion is different so yeah, chill everybody :).
