An update to furnishing placement is sorely needed among many other things.

It's going to be interesting to see how YoshiP handles his broadcast stroll during the Tokyo Game Show, which they said during the Live Letter will showcase player housing.

"Look at all the amazing things players have done with our housing that is inaccessible to most players because our ward system can't accommodate all the players we have and will never be able to do so. They boldly and openly break ToS to use prohibited third party tools to get these amazing looks because we won't add the needed function to the game."

I'd love to believe this has been planned to pressure approval for more funding for housing improvement not to mention the game in general. If SE really wants to capitalize on the game's growing popularity, they need to invest in modernizing some of the features that are behind what other MMOs had a decade ago.
