First of all even with there not having been an earthquake for months before Monday every 7d target was still within 48 hours of each other. This is because of math. Even with a 16 hour window on a 7d spawn over time that spawn time is going to normalize right back to when the original spawn time was. You aren’t going to see a dragon that spawned Saturday suddenly drift into Wednesday. So your proposal effectively means every guild can only kill one 7d target a week. For the lower tier targets that small guilds would be going for those mobs could be potentially be up for days and would certainly drift further and further away from the spawn of the more desired targets that are killed quickly every week. As soon as a lesser target drifted past that 48 hour window the bigger guilds would immediately start killing it every week locking out the smaller guilds permanently from that target. So really your proposal doesn’t solve any of the issues and doesn’t allow smaller guilds any long term opportunities.
As far as sky is concerned your proposal doesn’t make a lot of sense there either. Giving every guild a sky slot doesn’t really do much if most guilds can’t clear all of sky anyway. Multiple guilds banding together to try to clear all of sky would make more sense but it’s hard to argue a joint guild raid should get a full sky slot without even knowing if they are capable of clearing the entire zone. You mention so many guilds having sky slots that a single guild only goes to sky every 2 or 3 weeks. So in your proposal 15-20 guilds have sky slots, but less then half of those are even capable of clearing all of sky by themselves. What’s the reasoning for having islands 5-8 up for up to a week at time because guilds that can’t clear them have full sky slots? Sky seems to be working pretty well and there is a process in place for new guilds getting slots.

Thanks for your comment, Your assumption is that the guilds will remain the same, and people will not split off into smaller groups. Also, I am not advocating that smaller guilds should have long term opportunities. Like you said after a Earthquake they will get a week or two of opportunities (Time to help learn content and strats) Then they will be back in with the competition. This is not a free hand out (Like OPEN RAIDS are) this is giving windows of opportunity to groups and guilds to learn and build confidence to compete.
Sky is rotated now, not changing the frame work of needing to clear the island 2 weeks to claim the content... same shit, just more people will be rotating. if you wanna partner idea why that wouldn't be a possibility.
