You DID decorate your house, right?

I find there's a (not quite) happy medium - some things are way overdesigned, but trying to use all the space in a large is basically impossible under a 400 item limit unless you love wide open spaces or absolutely no detail whatsoever. And then you get into silly problems like my current one, which is that to make a rainy mood mansion I've also committed myself to re-walling every single room I intend to use so the 'native' windows don't ruin things...

I managed to pull this off by using a similar tactic to blocking off a floor. Almost 2/3 of my first floor is a grand entrance hall which has about 15 items total in it.

Well? You made a big fuss about needing one. Are you using it? Did you decorate it? If you didnt, may I ask why? It's been a while now since a lot of people won, but some in my ward still clearly havent touched theirs...bit sad to walk out and see new houses rotting already..

I put a summoning bell and a junkmonger. Everything I could ever want. On every house I own.

More than enough, agree

I actually took quite a bunch of my house downon the inside that is... kind of waiting for when they are going to increase the number of items you can put in a house, large need to be x3 and it is lame that have to shut down areas because not enough room.

So well 7th rebuild is on hold untill some changes...

Give full 3D placements of any object ingame, thank you!!!

Yes I did.

Why do you care if a housing owner decorated it or not?

Why do you care whether or not I care? Does it bother you, what I think?

Everyone was really angry about how scarce housing was but there are dozens of biddable & devalued plots on my server and hundreds of open houses with no furniture. Most of the FC houses don't have gardens or subs either.
I don't get it.

You're the one complaining about it, not me.
Does it bother you when people ask you questions? Because that's how you're coming across as being so defensive about my question.
It's a little ironic, that my response triggered some form of response from you when it's over 2 weeks since I made my comment.

I can understand what you're saying but at the same time, who are we to decide how others play the game and do with their house?

I think the problem is that people raise noise about a problem and developer resources are shifted to fix what Tamlen is suggesting is likely not a actual issue. So in this case what others are doing is creating a problem (Scarcity) that probably shouldn't even exist if not for folks that have houses with no actual objective seemingly in mind with what they are doing. My biggest gripe with the housing system atm is that the lotto is far too slow so it will be a year or more before we finally see what it looks like when there is "no" housing and then can even begin to gauge how much housing is needed and the issue that people conflate not having the best plot in the game with not owning a house at all. I see housing just like any other progress activity.

You go from Quest -> Dungeon -> Trial -> Allaince Raid/Raid -> Savage ->Ultimate's
In my notion you go FC Room -> Apartment -> Small -> Medium -> Large

Once upon a time people did not have 50 million gil to blow on a flight of fancy - now there is so much gil available that people can easily bid for the final item on the progression scale of housing and get upset because they are being held back by one of the limitations in place (Scarcity). I feel SE should do something to encourage some kind of logical housing progression imo in that regard.

[Sotaris]

The way I see it. The only viable way to move forward is instanced housing but I wonder if we'll ever get that. They seem to just throw more hardware and add more wards but for how long can you realistically do that?
