I bought the Earthtear Cavern today with great excitement. My plan was to decorate it mainly with all my pets and mounts, plus add a lot of natural scenery and walkways. I was going to have a flock of netches floating across the water, a group of dragon frogs feeding on ancestor moths, a whole herd of horses grazing in the field, a family of lions relaxing on a grassy knoll, a bunch of spriggan mounts surrounding my statue of Hircine, my golden retriever waiting for me at the door, my cat resting up top a bookshelf, and so on. You get the point.
But to my dismay, I quickly found out that pets and mounts (and even assistants) are all considered "other collectibles", and despite having this massive space to fill, there is a limit of only 10 of them. I have over 40 mounts and pets, and most of the people I know have more than that. This feature of allowing us to put our pets and mounts in our houses was highly touted, and an awesome idea by the developers. So why in the world would you limit it to only 10?? What's worse, if I want to put my assistants in the house, that number is further reduced to only 7. What difference does it make if I place a pet or a table? Why would you allow 700 other objects to be placed, but only 10 pets and mounts?
Please, please reconsider this design decision. I don't want to fill my house up with a bunch of tables and chairs. Why not allow us to place 800 objects, and let us choose what they are.
