I think you picked the wrong genre if that’s what you’re looking for in a video game. MMORPG tend to mirror real life. It’s full of have and have-nots. And everyone’s at the mercy of RNG.

FWIW the people I’d met at the placards were all very friendly. (That is, when people had the energy to chat) Everyone hates the system but accepted that the other players have as much right to go after the plot as they do. The most desperate ones tend to there for FC house, but they still treat people who were there for personal housing nicely. When someone finally got a house after long session, people either congratulated the winner or were just glad it didn’t end in relocation.

Maybe on Siren it’s different?
