That's actually the benefit of measuring on a monthly basis. There should be some scarcity in points during that last week so guilds that might not otherwise have a shot can then spend their points because other guilds reached their "bag limit" because they went balls to the wall.

You want guilds to choose between slow and steady all month and just grabbing what they need (leaving targets up for other guilds), or choosing to grab whatever they can whenever they can and then risk not being able to spend points later in the month, or gamble and conserve their points until the end of the month when there would presumably be less competition.

You can't have a mix of strategies like that over just a week's time, in my opinion.
