Almost all of the other chains can be completed in a day or two with a little forward planning (killing off troops to make room, keeping the provision house queue down, making sure there's a deposit free to be found, etc.). It's not ideal, but it's doable.
But yes, I do agree that the elite are just going to get richer and bigger while those of us who can't throw cash at it will struggle to get what we want from the event.
