At first I hated them, but coming to an understanding of just how mature the server is and all that it implies, I get it now and support the frequent quakes. There's just nothing left other than raid mobs for players who have been playing for years

Ah ah ah, you have imagined that the purpose of the Earthquake mechanic is to appease the raiding population. This is not the case. Quakes are actually called "sim repops," or "simulated repops," and are meant to replicate the weekly server resets which occurred on live EQ back in the day for patches. These resets respawned everything and resulted in raid mobs spawning more often (7-day mobs would be seen more often than every 7 days, for instance). This is replicated here for a more classic environment.
But seeing as each sim repop does respawn all the raid mobs, of course all the raid guilds mobilize and snap up what they can.
Furthermore, last Wednesday's quake was an accident. The GM literally pushed the button by mistake.
