Wooden Steps

I'm reluctant to ask them to fix things in that way. While i agree it would be nice and make things easier i cant help but think they will end up limiting our creativity in some manner to the point we wish they had not touched it at all.

I don't understand why you think that would limit our creativity. The only thing that might limit it would be if they enabled collision while in the furnishing menu so we can no longer clip items.

It's another one of those situations where we see it happening in other MMO housing. Players there have the ability to place an item anywhere and rotate it any way they want. They're able to display their creativity at levels not possible with our limited system.

It would be nice to see it happen here as well so we can push our creativity even farther.

The engine is actually capable of doing this, there is just an arbitrary restriction programmed into it, like the "blocking" to place items close to walls which is a big problem with carpets for example.
so far i found no way to keep the rotation of a wall decoration item, they snap back into their original position when exiting the house even when place onto diagonal walls or floor.

I can't figure why stairs need to be a wall-mounted item. They should just make everything tabletop anyway

They are wall mounted because that makes it easy to put them on hights, if it were a tabletop item you couldnt float it without glitching and need to put another item below it.

In the end though, it's unnecessarilly complicated and restrictive for no good reason. Most of the "furniture" should be changed to tabletop, particularly since they introduced stages and lofts as tables.

I still think EQ2 did housing better in many ways. Furniture can be up) downscaled in size. Rotated. Z axis movement to sink/float. I made aquariums and fountains, waterfalls and grand fireplaces. Others make fun houses and spooky hedge mazes. One guy made an amusement park.

It's all instanced. They sell floating islands and beaches and stuff. You want to make it, you can build it.

Here? Need to glitch stuff to get lofts working. T.T

Thats exactly the type of thing id worry about them "fixing" while they also give us the fixes we asked for.

Oh, they'd never do it. All the house design sharing on Twitter, Instagram, Housing Snap, etc. is free publicity for the game.

They're not going to make changes that would take away our ability to do things we want to share with others in social media.

If other games (including other cross platform games) are able to provide these functions to their players without problem, then it is highly unlikely there would be problems if they were added here.
