Housing items that can't be moved... Really?

[Mykll]

In order to preserve the rarity of the materials and furnishings, we've implemented a system that will destroy certain housing items when they are removed. However, as we have been receiving an increasing number of comments asking us to ease up on this so that player's can move furnishings and swap patterns out more easily, we will look into whether or not we can do this for rare furniture.

I don't understand. If you own a house, or FC room, and you place an item down, that should bind the item to you, and that should be enough. If you change FCs, or you go from a small to a medium house, how is moving that item to the new house NOT preserving the rarity of anything? You still only have the one item. Not like picking it up and putting it in your bag duplicates the item. It is still a singular item, being able to keep that item still preserves how rare it is, there are exactly the same number of items in the world as if that item was kept in the same old house and that house owner never moved.

Maybe you should have said needlessly destroying items is INCREASING the rarity, as not 100% if the items are being re-created.

And this is partly why I never bought a small house. I did not want to deal with this mess of having to trash things if I ever got a medium.
