Request: Extend Chaos Rifts to the end of Infinity Chaos

I know there are other threads out there that speak to the high energy costs of the Infinity Chaos event. The total cost of the event doesn't concern me as much as the fact that you would need to complete all 5 quests a week before the event is over in order to cash in on Chaos Rifts. Infinity Chaos ends on May 2nd, but Chaos Rifts ends on April 25th. That means that any Chaos Crystal shards collected in the last week of Infinity Chaos will not be usable in rifts (though, presumably, you would be able to open whole Chaos Crystals which have lesser prizes than their corresponding rifts).
Now, if you're Uncollected, it should be possible to earn 40k T4 Chaos Crystal shards through a combination of gifts, the calendar, completing Infinity Chaos quests, doing solo and alliance quests, and completing Beginner, Normal, and Heroic rifts. In other words, it would take a lot of effort to earn that many shards. It would also require a total energy expenditure of 7608, or about 362 energy a day, to do so. Theoretically we can earn 300 energy a day from normal gameplay, though realistically this is more likely around 270 energy a day . Which means that to reach this goal would require the purchase of 28 energy refills for a total cost of 840 units in addition to a lot of extra gameplay. This is rather ridiculous outlay for an event like this with uncertain rewards.
I'd like to suggest to Kabam that resetting the end date for Chaos Rifts to match the end date of Infinity Chaos would be a good solution to this situation. You're essentially double taxing the community for the opportunity to fully participate in this event without promising commensurate rewards, and I for one would like the opportunity to reduce that to a single tax.

Mine shows they both end the same time. Are these the quests your talking about?
Heh, looks like Kabam already answered my request. I based my numbers off the dates in the Chaos Rifts announcement, but if they changed their minds after the announcement and aligned the events then that's fine by me.
