You can argue that you can look at how much time your things will take but no game should require a timetable to efficiently play it, What I would recommend at the very least is an hour a day instead 7 a week... that way you don't screw over someone who leaves their room and forgets to close the game out of being able to play the next day.
I completely agree that many aspects of the game are very tedious, repetitive and time consuming, tying in with the threads cropping up with people complaining about bots, and also causing vexation for players without subscriptions due to the large amount of semi-afk "playing" required for tasks.
But your suggestion of an hour a day I disagree with. Not everyone can play each day; some people can only play on weekends, and a daily allowance would hinder them greatly. There are clients with auto logout when afk features, for example purus-pasta.
