Openly showing people how to exploit bugs wow

In which world does this make the game worse? It's ridiculous that I can create a perfect designer's house but cannot place an NPC on a loft. Without bugs in housing, houses would look 100% simpler, and people couldn't use their creativity to create beautiful houses. I find your comment hypocritical, to be fair, and I hope that Square Enix will address this.

I'd like to think they're aware that ppl use this "exploit" as they have even awarded prizes in official contests to ppl that used the exploit to decorate their housing.
hopefully it's something they finally address when they further expand the item capacity of housing next expansion

Not sure why you necro'd this thread to reply to a troll that hasn't posted in almost 3 years.

If you're trying to bring the continuing problem to SE's attention, we keep bringing it up over in the Housing subforum on a semi-regular basis and like to point out the situations where their Community team made content winners out of players that were clearly using third party mods and so had an unfair advantage over those players who cannot or choose not to use those mods.

They know. Either they don't care, or they've got some weird technical thing going on that they can't fix for all platforms.

If the floating glitches and others we take advantage of in housing solely using tools provided by the game were considered exploits, SE would have stated that by now. The only thing I can think of that SE has specifically asked players to stop doing is placing items in the "void" (outside of the normal housing interior) but it still happens because SE doesn't do anything to those players that are doing it.
