It is not. It was determined based on actual use. The vast majority of players complete significantly fewer than this.

But will that make a difference if the reason for players not questing is because it's boring? I'm already forced in to doing them for credos why would I go out of my way to do more of something that I hate, I thought that was part of the issue.

It increases contiguously up to a maximum of 12 based on the ratio between you and the leader.

If you're already not questing, this certainly doesn't affect you, sprucecap.

Let's say I have a 3 quest per day limit. If I don't quest for a week will I have 21 quests limit accumulated?

the vast majority of players aren't fighters working only on their character (with people behind them giving them the rest they need) for the purpose of beating up spruce caps though.

I'm not sure why this is a bad thing.
