I thought the common saying thusfar has been something along the lines of: Screw adventurers we don't give a damn.
Well, the "official" stance might be a bit nicer, but for the most part, goodies are given priority to the nobles. Er...I can imagine a response by one of the dev team might take the following form: You want to own land and reap rewards from it? Play a noble.
It's also not that hard to get 3 recommendations and change to a noble. Often the cap isn't your recommendations but your H/P.
