What have we not thought of

IMO the best way to achieve some level of parity is for devs to guarantee 2 quakes and 2 natural cycles each month. Quakes force the hardcore guilds to be selective giving enough room for casual guilds to kill some dragons. Cycle in between allows for casual guilds to have a breather if they wish, or they can use the tightly packed windows to score some kills.
