@professorrespect: I am a bit confused at what you are trying to say or deduce here, friend.
The term Elder God merely refers to mystical beings (gods / demon) that predate the more conventional gods in comics.
Put in simpler words, there are gods in marvel comics that are derived from actual popular religion Odin / asgardians (from Norse mythology), Zeus / Olympians (from greek mythology) etc. But there were mystical being that existed before them, and those were merely referred to as Elder Gods.
If you were keen on finding more details Thor version 1, Annual 10; and Marvel Handbook 1986 explains this is more details.
So Elder God term is just a generic name, and not necessarily a description of power level. Before Gaea gave birth to Atum, earth was filled with so called "elder gods"; and these gods would consume each other becoming more powerful. So not all elder gods are actually created equal.
Also Gaea being inferior to Dormammu that you mention isn't as cut and dryThere is , for example, Doctor Strange volume 1 issue 9; where Gaea defeats / banishes Dormammu.
Dormammu actually has battles with people so from a battle forum perspective you would find more feats, Gaea doesnt normally go around fighting people; so her feats would be limited; but in comics its never been the case of one being shown significantly superior to other.
