It also just gave rise to a massive amount of 1 person FCs because why would I compete with 30+ people per private plot when I can just make an FC and easily get one in the exclusive wards?
In a way, we can see this as an effort made by the developers to "encourage" social interactions between players through the need for more FCs to be made
At least that's one way of looking at the problem...

I think they should have created instanced housing within the island. The island area is already instantiated anyway and would at least partially reduce this problem. But, I think they will continue to encourage social interactions by forcing people to have FCs before they have houses xD (yep, i'm just kidding). I really can't see how and what they could do to fix the problem.
