Pickings Are Slim, But This Really Isn't Okay, Is It?

I think you're right on the 2nd part, but hopefully, if a GM does actually investigate this, this player gets more than a smack on the hand.

Housing is a hot commodity, hard fought for in this game- but there are rules of engagement that need to be followed. Making yourself an extreme nuisance and blocking the view/play areas of other players should be an instant ban. It's not like this FC or it's members are standing on a mount covering an NPC quest giver. They used a 3rd party program to block the terrain and obliterate the view of a plot they don't even own. Not just with one item.. but multiple items.

They knew exactly what they were doing.

As did the players making a nuisance of themselves when Asmongold or whatever his name was started playing FF14..

Adding to this: I don't think it's possible to put up the furniture in that manner? If so, they could be using third party tools to grief. Two strikes right there.
