If you want free item placement this housing system won't be what you're looking for and if that's such a huge dealbreaker to anyone, they should feel free to play WS which has a free placement system
It was heavily implied at a Cantina event a few weeks ago by Eric that it would be free placement. Limiting the creativity in a activity that is purely about creative expression is a deal breaker for me.

I'm guessing you hate the sims and think it's extremely limiting eh?

(Oh and he didn't "heavily imply" it... you just enterpreted it that way)

Which Cantina Event?

Can you provide a link to a quote of Eric saying what you are accusing him of saying?
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

It's like telling Michael Angelo that any painting he does must be limited to coloring within the lines.

Question:

How intricate will the decorations for the strongholds be? Will it be anything like Wildstar?

Answer:

Strongholds will be extremely intricate in that you will be able to place items as you see fit. Dιcor items can be created through trade skills and will be drops from mobs, flashpoints, and operations. This intricacy will be inherently Star Wars and will rival the housing of other games and it will very customizable.

True, but it was titled as this, so you're correct in associating it with the bar hop:

It was never implied. You saw what you wanted to see. And now you're mad that they didn't deliver on something that was never even hinted at.

Not implied? Please tell me, what do YOU hear in this statement: "you will be able to place items as you see fit". How would YOU interpret that exactly? "as you see fit" to me, means however I like. What does that mean to YOU?

It was directly being compared to Wildstar and the developer replied with "able to place items as you see fit". To me this would indicate free form placement since they was directly comparing it to Wildstar.
