ESO and Wildstar never, ever had these issues because they have instanced housing. Everyone gets a house. Everyone can engage with that content as they please. It's really head-in-the-sand to think that the Ward system isn't just a bad, inherently hostile system.

People want to be in an FC with their friends, and to give that up to create a shell FC for a house is ludicrous. Shell FCs are used for the workshop and the garden - curiously things only available to FC plots - to play the MB with those rare resources that only come from those. There are also many that are owned by alts of an FC for just landholding. Hyperion had an entire ward owned by one person at one point.

They also changed the rules for FC plot purchasing. You need 4 members now, so of course you don't see those plots being purchased. Not to mention the majority of people want to be in big, active FCs rather than play entirely alone.
