    But some players already struggle when zoning into wards because they're waiting on their systems to load and render all the manually placed items. It's rare for me to take more than 10 seconds to load (unless I'm logging into my character after they logged out in a ward) but I watched one of our FC members take almost 3 minutes last week. He said that's about the normal time it takes for him to load, which is why he doesn't visit the FC house very often. Our FC leader usually takes 45-60 seconds, which is annoying if we're hanging out at the FC house while doing trial mount farming or chaining dungeons.

    What you propose will make the load lag even worse with the potential for 20% more items to be placed. SE is aware that this is an issue for many players, which is why they've set such low limits for outdoor items. I highly doubt they're going to increase the limit, even if it would be nice.
    1- Most people don't even use the house or don't use the 20 items limit, so it will be just like having the amount of intented items per house.
    2- No offense and I mean it, but you are your friend are using internet with the speed of a dial-up connection. I don't even live near the server, I don't even have a good ISP and it doesn't take longer than 5 seconds for any loading screen.

    Having a SSD hard drive very noticeably affects load times as well, not just internet connection. While it is now common for people to have SSDs it is not yet common enough to safely assume most players have one. Mechanical drives, the older hard drive technology, are still super common. SE also need to take this into account when considering loading times for players.

    And if I recall correctly PS4s use mechanical drives.

    Where are you going to put PS4 and Xbox 1 players?
