I've just never liked the concept, ever since I had a horrific experience with Clash of Clans which I tried out on a work iPad a few years back thinking it might be like good old Command and Conquer, how wrong I was, the pay to survive mechanism gave me a bad taste, so I don't like it even it does benefit me!

I get what you're saying since I don't love the mechanic either in traditional games but I look at this as a business expense since land is producing sellable goods for real money.
In business, paying more for higher productivity is normal as I'm sure you know. And I think its great that the payment each business makes goes directly to the community. That, to me, is brilliant. Overall I think each land owner is a business owner and we need to weigh the pros and cons of investing more at any given time based on market conditions.
Personally I see that last proposal as just gambling rather than anything to with productivity.
