It's ridiculous to blame the restrictions placed on players within their Inn on "server limitations." Every character/player connected regardless of location is an independent instance running independently of everything else. The operations forbid in the inn are not restricted within a player's room within their Free Company housing. The restrictions are clearly intentional. And IMO they should be removed.
