Everyone stop it... Players and Staff.

No interpretation required. They have so few houses available that the wealthy of each server would be able to buy them all if they were priced in a range where most FCs could afford them, so they raised the prices beyond what the wealthy can afford. The prices will go down over time, as they add more server space. Even by their estimates, 20% of FCs won't be able to afford a house in 3 months.

That is exactly what Yoshi said. Don't call me ignorant because you dislike the reality of the situation.

You can interpret it however you want but it is still just your interpretation. There is a set limit, but we have no idea what that limit is so to say that there isn't enough space is just you assumption of the information that was presented. There could be space for 1,000 houses and still 10 wealthy players could effectively buy out all the plots if the prices at the level they are on non-legacy servers but I wouldn't consider 1,000 houses to be a low number by any means.

Except that's not what is being done here. I wasn't told anything sucks. I decided that it sucks. You making up imaginary, motivation for my opinions is irrelevant. Mindlessly defending the game is the ultimate herd mentally. I don't see you calling out people who defend based on the same motivation.

So you're calling Yoshi a liar? Who isn't being level headed now?
Are you going to talk the time to correct me? Or just say I'm wrong? How am I wrong? How is YoshiP wrong?

See my above response.

Yeah but his interpretation makes sense whereas yours doesn't.

the wealthiest players could easily buy up all available plots of land

People who have money could afford to buy the plots of land. That in and of itself should not be a problem because it's how buying things works. If you can afford it you should be able to buy it.

If we take this to mean a FEW wealthiest players (wealthiest FCs) could easily buy up all available plots of land so that the unique player to plot ownership distribution was not 1:1 that COULD be considered abuse. But, there is an extremely simple fix for that which involves just restricting one plot per FC leader. Since that explanation is too simple and too mind-boggling as to why they would not or could not implement such a restriction, most of us are giving YoshiP and the dev team the benefit of the doubt in this case (believe it or not), and interpreting that statement as:

"There are more FCs that would be able to afford housing than we could physically provide or handle" assuming the unique player to plot ownership distribution IS 1:1.

It's an assumption, yes. But it's the only explanation that makes any sense if we take for granted that these developers have any degree of competence, which I'm willing to grant them. Not as much as you would expect considering they demand 15 bucks a month for this, but not absolutely none.
