It sounds like you're making assumptions about how long it takes a FC to meet the requirements for house purchase based on its size.

A solo FC can get to Rank 6 within a few hours of FC creation by spamming Expert Deliveries. All it takes is a little advance preparation by collecting gear received through quick ventures, buying from the marketboard cheap and/or doing some supplemental solo dungeon farming.

Doing it to rank 6 in a few hours is a bit overkill lol. You can't bid for 30 days, no matter what size an fc you have. That is a massive help to put fcs on a more equal footing.

The FCs at a real disadvantage are the genuine small to mid-size FCs formed by relatively new players that are less likely to have the resources of the other two.

New players as in literal level 1 players freshly out the tutorial don't even know what a free company is. I think they are not the ones making new free companies. And even if they are, they have a whole month. If they looked up what a free company is, they can also look up the best ways to rank it up. A legitimate free company with multiple members has more collective time to farm than solo players.

Also, no one told new-ish players to join the most populated NA realms that are congested most of the time. The only reason would be joining friends on their server, but then they would get help building their fc from friends who are not new to the game.
