Increased interior item limit for apartments and housing

Fully Customizable house interior - We currently are stuck with pillars, ceilings & wall molding based on the ward we are in- suggestion: Let us have fully customizable interior

Let us have different music per floor

SO much these two!
Having the built-in pillars cut into furniture you wanna place is so frustrating. Also, not being able to put deviders/partions up against the side of staircases is annoying as all get out.
Being able to mirror-flip curtains (and other wall decor) without needing to use a stage panel to glitch things would really cause much less headache.
Being able to put wallpaper on partions. It looks SUPER odd when you partition off to make rooms and only the outer wall have pretty wallpaper on them, while the partitions are dyed in an attempt to at least match ONE of the colors of the wallpaper.

AND...
When you float items through floors (like the imitation glass thingies), for the love of god, do NOT let them show in the ceiling on the lower floor! HUGE yikes, visually!

Hello! I think I'm in the right place. (I think, lol.) First off, so much yes, and I'm gonna take a better gander at this thread once I get this out. XD I'll try not to make this too lengthy, but it might be worth a looksy.

Okay, let's talk about Mannequins. Still have your attention? (crap..lol) As a seller I have been using them pretty much since I started my trip down the rabbit hole. No taxes for anyone yay! Oh wait...no one can see I'm selling it on one unless I sell it as a set. AND you can only see the set if you click advanced search every time you load the pricing. Also, /tell? What if I'm not online? Lol. Therein lies one dilemma. The other is our nefarious and out of control botting problems we've had over the years like weeds. Both need to change.

What I propose is:
- Making any and all items sold from a mannequin have a similar icon on the marketboard as they do when they're sold directly off the mannequin in the history.
- Make the advanced search a toggle function we can turn on and off as we please.
- All items sold from a mannequin in any estate/abode can only be done so if it's set to public. (If it isn't already, I forget, lol.)
- Regardless if the /tell function is left in, add a 'Teleport to Estate' so they can come access your wares.
- And definitely don't touch the zero tax on the wares.

Though I wouldn't mind a small tax if it was still significantly lower, but incentivizing players would lead to more engagement to any individual's estate. (Could also draw them in to that retainer you got sitting out in the cold trying to sell your biscuits.) By making all items from mannequins visible and teleportable, any bots trying to utilize that system would have a way harder time trying to navigate a system like that. And thus players engaging more with each other (or not if it's not your thing, lol), along with overall lower prices; They would stick out like sore thumbs if they tried. 'Excuse me Vjdfrtgiughi Vfkbhikf, where's your pants?'

The goal is to both see neighborhoods flourishing and, at a minimum, add a layer of transparency to the Market. So regardless if you're pulling the 'Obtaining Signature' sorcery, or you are actually Obtaining Signature, it's there for all to see if you wanna use em. Personally I don't care my name's on everything. It's gone once they put it in the chest, lol. 'Yay my name for all t-!'*poof* Not anymore! xD

But that also got me thinking about expansion the function. All of which would work essentially like the mannequin and scale on quantity of machines per estate (private1/cottage2/med3/large4:

- Something akin to Vending Magitek: Can hold up to 10 stacks of 99 of any Food/Drink per machine.
- A case that allow you to display bigger items like trophies and another with shelves for small items like minions.
- Two words: Saddle Stand.
- A Silo: Can hold up to 10 stacks of 99 for items mined.
- Another silo(lol): Can hold up to 10 stacks of 99 for items harvested.


Of course they scalability could be 0,1,2,3, but I don't think that's be fair to all players. Or even just one of each across the board. I suggest 10 per, but I'm just spitballing here since there would be less placement compared to mannequins. From my personal experience in all the seeing and selling I've done from crafting and gathering, some of us have our niches and we should have furnishings that allow us to sell in such a manner. If we're gonna have these fancy exteriors, about time they can live up to reputation, lol.

All of this is bubkiss of course if the real deal is not addressed, lol. If anything, just make it potentially worse. I almost wanted to make an independent thread for the Mannequin changes, but saw this and figured I'd give it a shot 1st. IMHO improving the functionality of that system would not necessarily end botting, but it would create more hurdles they gotta jump through to keep up with the actual player base without exposing themselves. And I went and got lengthy, lol. Happens every time.

Need more partitions with doors - only 2 I can think off with door is glade door partition and paper partition - where are the door counter parts for the other partition types including marble arched partition?

And outdoor flooring - default can be grass.
But have:
Limsa stone flooring
Ul'dahn stone flooring
Gridanian stone flooring
Costa del Sol sand flooring
Marble stone flooring
etc

Small hill house cosmetic with round doors!

I'd like a horizontal square platform that we could use as a landing with the wooden steps, enabling us to turn a corner with them. A straight flight takes up so much wall space!

I can see 2 ways of doing this:
Either add a new set of steps with the landing attached to the top. In wood and stone too, please!
or
A simple, dyeable, square platform we can float, which would be trickier to use but more versatile. I could see these being used for smaller lofts or even laid down as large floor squares for a game-board effect.
