If it's the "Elsweyr Platform Ancient Rectangular" then on EU yes, the plans are very expensive in Guild traders. If you only want a few items though then the actual furnishings, according to TTC, are being sold for between 14 and 25k each which does not seem unreasonable.

The furnishing plans are rarely obtained in containers in the new dungeons.
In that case hard mode would not affect their drop rate, since the game doesn’t even know if you plan to do HM until you get to the final boss. I’m not even sure Normal vs Vet affects the drops in most container types, just locked chests and boss drops AFAIK.
It does affect their drop rate, ZOS specifically said that it does.

I'm trying to understand here. What specifically did they say? Do the containers reset on activating HM? That seems a little wild. If that were the case, couldn't you port back to the beginning to loot containers without engaging the boss? Specifically, how did they say activating HM affected container loot? I'm genuinely curious.

Would you lock a new rare weapon behind a housing or (I know they don't exist but) a roleplaying achievement? Would you introduce a new epic set which can only be obtained through fishing, but also so rare that you would need to fish for days to get one piece? It's almost like ZOS don't seem to realise that there are a huge amount of different players who play this game, not everybody is into the same thing, which is what makes this game so wonderfully diverse in the first place. Why make these plans so rare, and why lock them (or the most chance to get them) behind vet hm dungeons, when the majority of the people who want to use these plans don't do vet, or in some cases even normal dungeons, because they physically feel like they can't.

I'm almost positive they aren't locked behind vet (if I'm thinking of the right furnishings) My boyfriend looted one in a normal run of LoM for a guildie.
To be honest, I don't have a problem with if being locked behind a dungeon - as long as its normal. Most of the housing people will want to do those dungeons on normal anyway to unlock the house.

A. That's not really how ZOS does things. They like to spread out different types of rewards so players have incentive to try all kinds of content, especially their brand new content. That's real obvious with cosmetics like motifs, style pages, Housing, and event tickets. If you want all the rewards, ZOS will make you play all of the game.
B. Housing is for all players. Players who PVP, who run Vet Dungeons, and Trials have houses too and deserve to benefit from the rewards. No matter what the rewards, "casual" players who can't complete the content have always had to do without, pay ZOS, or pay gold to get it from players. (Example: the Factotum polymorphs)
So I'm really struggling with the idea, again very roughly paraphrasing, that the Housing Community is a bunch of casuals who interact with the game casually and so they should be able to get all the furnishings in game by doing casual content because they spend lots of money on Housing. That's just not how ESO operates. If you want all the rewards, ZOS wants you to play all of the game.
(For the "but Master Angler!" folks, I've done that. Wanting those fish was what started me on the road to playing PVP regularly, even though I started off hating the idea of PVP.)

You are so correct that not everyone is into the same thing. I see here that ZOS is spreading out where you can find some plans in various parts of the game. This gives a range of people into different things the chance to acquire something rare that they can collect, sale or trade. With diversity of play come diversity of rewards.

What I am saying is that this particular furnishing is an important one for building, and that it should be just as easily obtained on normal as it is on vet, nothing more. As I stated before, many housing people are also very into pvp or pve, myself included, I used to pvp every single day and have most of those achievements, including the throne, and I agree that those items should be just for the achievements, this is not an achievement item though, it is an unnecessarily rare platform, not even fancy, a plain old platform, which ZOS has conveniently put on the crown store for almost 600 crowns a piece.

But also a few other general structural furnishings, I think there are 8 of them altogether.

Haha! Yes, we were talking about that too! Before housing, all I did in this game was pvp, and it was annoying having to farm dungeons, but at least I was able to do them. Some of these people literally have never even done a dungeon before, let alone a vet HM one. Again, I'm not talking about all housing people here, but many do only play the game for the housing aspect.
I agree though, they should probably make the best sets for pvp only available in pvp and same for pve, it would make people much happier

If you want hard or near impossible to get,you should look at The Yolo and Lokke statues and what they require to purchase.They require HM on those two dragon vSS.Also those things are bind on pick up,so no buying one from people that can clear either.
