SE being hypocritical.

As for the 50 slots... isnt that much of a issue but main issue is large houses are actually too big for 200 slot limit.

To be fair, even a properly* decorated small house is too big for the 50 slots they're allowed. The basement will help a bit, as most will probably use less small furnishings in them and more of the big ones, leaving lots of furniture slots open to decorate the main floor.

*As in NOT filled to the brim with hot tubs and such. Seriously people, why?

A29: While it’s not difficult to raise the cap on furnishings, we expect this to increase stress on the server and this will affect the release of personal housing, so please give us a bit before we increase cap.

Glad they might increase it eventually, but it amazes me that in 2014 this is an issue. Mog houses in FFXI were smaller than a small house here, and the only limit to how many items you could decorate with was how many you could smash into your inventory. To top it off, everyone in the entire game had one, compared to entire free companies sharing a single house. A single instanced house, inside of a housing instance.

A majority of the reasoning for this answer may be due to outside decorations, which everyone can see and does impact the ward as a whole. Even an increase of 1 outside decoration per lot is 30 more decorations, the equivalent of adding 1.5 small houses worth of stuff in the ward.

Inside decorations I can't say much about.
