My New Neighbors

it's not about tastes or whatever, there is still lots of lower tier furniture I use in my masterpiece creations because they work for the style of what I'm aiming for

the only thing semi expensive is the combed wool rug which you can dye for color. its minor when other rugs can fill that void until you are rich enough if you NEED that to finish

Yes i finally bought the jute from my server and made me a combed wool rug. I had to have it in my bedroom. but I also agree, Heck there is even NPC furniture one could buy

I made 2 of those wool rugs and for the exception of being dyeable, they are pretty small for the mat difficulty and rather blah. They need to make them bigger and fringed or something. Have to put 2 together to get a nice look. Definitely not worth purchasing a pre-crafted from the MB.

Just because its cheap doesnt mean they have to put anything into their yard...

And from my experience not every person is intrested in decorating - who knows, those could also be small FCs, founded by some friends and one of them claimed they'd decorate but didnt got to it yet. Maybe they have ideas but not the time or ressources right now to get to them.
I remember back when my first FC bought their first house - a medium one in Mist. We were basically 4 people in the FC, one of them not being intrested in decorating at all (except putting done one tree and a tree stump in the yard 10 minutes after we bought the thing) and the other two saying they'd get to it during one of the next weekends. For three months our only decoration was basically that tree (now with the addition of an aetheryte and a mailbox) outside and one desk with a chair on the inside. Then I had enough and started decorating on my own.

So... a baren yard or home can just mean that the person in the Fc whos taking care of all the decoration isnt available right now and that no one wants to hush things - I know I wouldnt want that. Or they do have an idea what they want to do but still need expensive furniture. Or they just dont have an idea yet and are hoping for inspiration.
They dont have to put just anything in the yard to please you though.

Could be fake-FCs and house-flippers. Could be people only intrested in the workshop. Could be people who havent found the time to decorate yet - or who havent agreed on a decoration.
