Re: random daily dungeon infiltrated by dlc dungeon....
Nowhere here does it say that the reason for random queues is to be helpful to others by filling in their groups.

Players should not be required to fill in groups that are choosing to queue for dungeons that they know many players do not wish to run.

Random Veteran Dungeon immediately puts you into a queue for any veteran dungeon group available. Because you are not queuing for a specific unique dungeon, you will be offered a daily bonus premium reward upon completion that includes Undaunted Exploration Supplies and XP. If you've already received your daily premium reward, you'll still earn a regular bonus reward for every other random dungeon you do for the rest of the day.
Random Normal Dungeon immediately puts you into a queue for any normal dungeon group available. Because you are not queuing for a specific unique dungeon, you will be offered a daily bonus premium reward upon completion that includes Undaunted Exploration Supplies and XP. If you've already received your daily premium reward, you'll still earn a regular bonus reward for every other random dungeon you do for the rest of the day.
Specific Dungeons allows you to choose from the entire list which dungeons(s) you would like to queue for. You can choose the veteran or normal mode versions and you can queue for multiple dungeons simultaneously. You do not receive a bonus reward when completing a dungeon you specifically queued for.

But you won't. Because it's the Helping Hand reward you're truly after.
Queueing to fill in base game dungeon groups is being helpful to those groups as much as it would be to a DLC group, so the reward would be earned.

They can. It's called queueing for a specific dungeon.

And they do. It's called "queue for specific dungeons."
And have to give up the random dungeon rewards to benefit those queueing for specific dungeons.

This has nothing to do with being helpful human beings. It has to do with being able to choose the content we want to participate in, which should be an equal choice for all players.

Now you're trying to twist the narrative by laying responsibility onto the players who like to play content you don't want to do? C'mon..
The players queued up for DLC dungeons didn't pick anybody to join their group. They merely made themselves available for volunteers to draw from.
I'm saying that players that only want to queue for Base Game dungeons should have the right to queue for content they prefer, too.

Why can't the players wanting DLC dungeons join guilds that run dungeons and form groups with like minded players? Or form groups with friends? Why depend on players that don't want to be there to fill their groups?
My guess is for the same reason that the players wanting DLC only normal dungeons don't join guilds that run dungeons and form groups with like minded players? Or form groups with friends? Why depend on players that don't want to be there to fill their groups?
There would be plenty of players queueing for base game dungeons. Those wanting DLC dungeons are the ones with the potentially longer queues, so they should look for their own solution.

Re: random daily dungeon infiltrated by dlc dungeon....
dunno either. zos has created that situation themselves. but giving different queues gives ppl the option to opt out of the higher end ones. yeah, you may get some ppl wanting to get carried for the better rewards like you were saying, but more than likely they'll get booted if they truly can't do it. as it is now, you'll get lumped with those ppl anyways <shrug> along with the ones who would have opted out to not waste your time
Re: I KNOW FOR A FACT that I'm not the only one disapointed by daily rewards !
SilverBride wrote: »The reward fits the activity required to earn it. It's free stuff for doing nothing but logging in.
Well you're not wrong, but the purpose of free daily rewards is to provide an incentive for players to login to the game to play. Sure some might just login for the rewards, but some will login and maybe queue up for a dungeon or battlegrounds, and that makes all the difference to help the game feel more full and alive with people.
So by not providing any real collectibles, the most used tri-pots or chicken food, or even providing a rare currency like endeavor seals, a lot of players don't have the motivation/incentive to login this month.
And there are countless collectibles that could throw in there, even the 10000th variation of pet dog, just something to motivate us to login. Just my two cents anyway.

But to insinuate that ZOS is making the player's job difficult or miserable by heaping on unwanted items is a bit much. Claiming the rewards is optional. But even if you're a completionist, then a second of your time once a day to clicky on Destroy isn't exactly hard labor.
Allowing us to trade garbage items for 1 gem wouldn't exactly be hard labor either. Allowing us to sell them to a vendor for 1g wouldn't be hard labor. Just adding a SKIP day button, so we could bypass days to get to the next wouldn't be hard labor.
How did you get the idea, they shall generate real money currency for free stuff? That's beyond me, sorry.
For gold, hm, yeah, maybe, but i don't know how easy or not that would be to implement. No clue.
But a skip-button, i'm pretty sure, would flood the support all the time with "mimimi", like "ahhh, accidently skipped the tri-pots, pleeeeease help me...". If that's not hard labor, then what?
Anyway, for me it's not a real issue. But i'm missing the 10-year-celebration-structure of the login rewards a bit, too.
What's the reason for this, for example:
BretonMage wrote: »That's two months in a row they didn't include a "special" reward in the middle of the month. It was nice to get a little mid-month treat, even if it's a little pet, an accessory or an emote. Even though I don't usually expect much from the daily rewards, these past 2 months' rewards have been rather boring.
So for me personal i would find it great, if there would be 3 specials a month (like housing items, collectibles, emotes, whatever), some seals of endeavor and maybe 2 crates.
Tri-pots and chicken are a must, i think. Golden mats also.
Other potions don't need to be in such masses, but i'm sure, there are other opinions out there.
However, this month is a bit flat, tri-pots are maybe just an oversight (double poison?), but it's not that bad for free.
As a reminder, this month:
And, of course, 1 or 2 times a year a bunch of 100.000 of gold, Tel'Var and or green alliance bucks. Thank you.

No, I don't think they are near each other in size. I think there are way less that want to queue for DLC dungeons, which makes it more unfair in my mind that the larger group is expected to fill the smaller groups' choices.
