Everyone stop it... Players and Staff.

Right, and what do we have right now? A situation where only the wealthiest FC's can afford the housing!
If they made instanced housing, it would not be an issue. If they had separate housing servers like so many other games, then the problem of imaginary rich players buying up the property too quick wouldn't exist.

But here's the thing, making the prices too high ensures that most plots will remain vacant, taunting the player base and going unused. It also ensures that the rich are still the only FCs that will own them. and assuming that an FC would actually buy up all the plots for themselves is insane.

All opinions. And you obviously underestimate a player base that was happily selling Titan wins at 500k for a win for players that didn't have the patience to complete it on their own. If someone CAN afford to buy 10 plots of land to cause a scarcity of resources, someone WILL buy 10 plots of land. Fundamental economic principle at work.
