I haven't used vsftpd in a long time but I believe you can do
something like this:
Set user_config_dir to point to someplace such as /etc/vsftpd/users
In that directory, create files for each username and within it put:
local_root=/home/ftp
I think that might set all of those users to login to that folder. I
have not tried it. :)
There was also an option to use alternative home directories rather
than the one specified in /etc/passwd, but I can't remember exactly
what that was and it may have still used the username as part of the
path. "man vsftpd.conf" should explain it.
