I'm not a particularly large fan of the behavior, but it's all stemming from an already horribly designed housing system. Limiting instances and selling them at exorbitant prices is probably one of the dumbest design decisions, and continues to illustrate this game's love affair with grinds and treadmills.
Exacerbating the problem is the fact that the market is not going to shrink anytime soon. If there's someone willing to sell their plot at full tort, there's someone else who's going to buy it. It's meeting a demand, and I can't say I'm shocked that people want to recoup their initial costs...ESPECIALLY if they bought in to a feature that didn't turn out the way they hoped, or their FC dissolved or what have you.
