Lets be reasonable. There is no limit on quests to do. You can do 10 quests per day and every time you get the XP, a few dukes and a small reward on top of everything you find for each and every of those 10 quests. The only difference is that quest 4 to 10 do not count for reputation, but you talk of "limiting an activity" and compare it to hitting stone and getting nothing out of it. May I say that is hyperbole?
If you want a serious comparison with mining for example, I would suggest that mining after a certain amount of resource nodes doesn't give a chance for finding a diamond anymore, but still all the resources.
I just think the quest limit is currently in a very artificial state. Perhaps the trader should not let you access to their jobs after x one (whatever you have it set to in the settings), or there's some dialogue saying you've done enough for the day or something? Or perhaps some other survivors stopped on by while you were away, snatched up the rest of the available jobs, and you'll have to wait until tomorrow, so the trader in question would have the opportunity to draw up new plans. (As for the other traders, coincidentally other survivors swooped in and scooped up the available jobs for that day.) It doesn't make any sense in my eyes why all of a sudden, the reputation system would stop increasing for that day. 😛 The traders basically go, "You cleared 3 locations for me today, great! You want to clear another? Fair enough, but I won't think any more of you, unless you do it by tomorrow."
Unless of course, the other jobs the trader offers you happen to not be of much importance strategically?
