As for this: the plot can be a rather useless decoration or you can use it for other purposes - it's up to you.
To give a small idea - Personally, I find my vault is sufficient to all my storage needs, if only barely. I stuff all my scalesets in there, loads of components, extra scalepacks, potions, crystals, etc. However, I would need to buy a plot if I wished to save and store certain forms, or keep resources that are routinely needed easily available.
In short - it's not a useless decoration, unless of course you want it to be :P
Hope this helped!
