Decreased player interaction with the game is the issue. The further spread out these times are, the more fragmented the playerbase becomes.

I think we all see the wisdom in SOME time-based delineation and it must be set somewhere. If it was increased to a monthly cap, there would still be players who would want it stretched because of their own commitments/obligations that prevent them from reaching it in that time period. A week to reach the cap is not restrictive to the vast majority of players.
