'Fairness' is a horribly woolly concept, but I would raise this - Is it fair to implement a system that penalises flights for encouraging active exalting and being well organised? Earth gets more points per dragon purchased, but each point also costs more per person than any other flight.
However, Earth has had one battle in the last few years. The 'dom powerhouse' aspect has little to nothing to do with Earth having greater dom point purchasing power - it's from establishing an exalting culture and having effective support in getting newbies/new joiners into the various aspects. Implementing changes based solely on exalting numbers says 'if you're working too hard, you'll be penalised'.
I am 100% behind the idea of having a system to handle the issue of OOF support. Perhaps something that accounts for what element a dragon came from - basing it on who last held the dragon for over X period of time, or similar. A blanket approach that doesn't distinguish between individual effort and OOF participation? Not cool with me.
