✭So... we don't know
I'll wait for an official answer, or the next Monday like everyone else ^^
Oh...the release was actually pretty explanatory. The rewards are cumulative. Younget reward one the first day of the month you log in. Then if you log in the next day, number two. But if you wait a week, then on that next log you get number two.
You progress up,the ladder until,you get them all or the month ends and we reset.1 -

Honestly, this is the kind of stuff that makes me look at other games. I tend to play for fun, and I totally hate this "you have to log in for extras" ***. ESO is turning into p2w this way, and its going quicker and quicker...
Really?
You dont "have to" log in. Just dont. How is this turning into P2W?! First of all, you dont have to pay anything to get those rewards. You get these without any DLC or Chapter bought. Everyone who owns the game gets these. Also the stuff does not make you any stronger. The meals, potions, poisons can all be made ingame. There is no advantage in these to ingame stuff whatsoever.
So please stop this p2w nonsense. They give you free stuff. Take it or leave it.15 -

Seriously? You think this is P2W? What are you having to pay for aside from, perhaps, a sub which you would already have been paying for? Nor do you HAVE to log in daily.
Keep playing for fun. You'll get a little something each day you play for fun.
Sheesh.

This is what I love about gaming on the internet. People will complain about free stuff.
And from the looks of things, this is one of the best daily login rewards systems I've seen - they tell you up front what you'll be getting (or missing), and there appears to be slack in the system to allow some misses. They even appear to have skipped hiding neat stuff behind huge login counts, so people who take extended breaks aren't permanently left behind the field. These features combine to make it quite player friendly.
Honestly, I don't know what more people could ask for here.Edited by pauli133 on 5 June 2018 10:2513 -

Why don't you explain how this is pay to win? Answer, I can't but I'm gonna complain anyway because that's my nature. I mean seriously, this is probably the worst comment I've come across yet about "free stuff". If you don't want it, don't log in. Easy. Good grief.

Simple. The mere fact that they have to give free stuff every day you log in proofs there is something going wrong with the game. And most p2w games function on the same principle. Give the crowd a free potato and hopefully they buy a car so your business can survive another month. If a game is good on its own you dont need give away free stuff to make people buy your stuff ingame.

Bosh. The "stuff on login" is something that many of the "better" MMOs are doing and they certainly aren't failing, nor is ESO. I really can't understand where all the "ESO dying" stuff is coming from and am beginning to think "ESO is dying" is a code phrase for "I don't like the game anymore" or "I'm not happy with how the game is progressing" or "It's not progressing as I think it should.".
There is no P2W happening. Pay to Win means you give a company money to buy your way to being better at playing the game than those who don't pay for items/skills/perks. Free stuff at login (which some are whinging isn't worth doodly squat, nevermind P2W level) and the occasional free pet aren't signs of a game failure, they're more a "hey, glad you are playing our game".
Besides, there is no bloody "winning" in an MMO.

Actually that's not remotely true. Businesses evolve, change marketing tactics often. It's not an indication whatsoever that anything is going on with the game. It simply means they are trying new avenues to attract/retain customers. Now, try again. Explain how daily login rewards are P2W instead of some faux doom scenario that makes literally no sense to anyone that has ever worked in marketing.
It's really like some of you don't understand that the sole purpose of a for profit business is to maximize revenue streams. This requires an evolving strategy. As someone else pointed out, this is hardly a new idea in the world of MMOs.Edited by Hokiewa on 5 June 2018 13:142 -

✭It's not about pay to win, its about addiction psychology. MMO's are addictive by nature and the makers strive to make them even more addictive. Often the way somebody breaks free of this pull is completely accidental. Either life gets so busy they can't log in for awhile, or more commonly they try out a new game with zero attention of actually leaving the mmo. But while it is out of sight, they addiction wears off and what once seemed life or death slowly begins to seem to be the meaningless pixels that they are. By giving a strong incentive to log in at least a moment every day they stop this from happening and retain customers.Edited by BejaProphet on 5 June 2018 13:33Royal Poet's Dungeon Tanking Guide https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/416797/royal-poets-guide-to-traditional-tanking-in-veteran-dungeons#latest3 -

Ugh. I didn't want this, i didn't ask for it, and I don't like the game going "But don't you want your free stuffzz??" when i try to log off without claiming it.

Here's a thought for folk like you...maybe add a "do not want" button? Or a setting to say: I don't want to be bothered at all, no notification, nothing? Would that help?

Nothing. Those 5 days are just a "skip days" - so you don't miss any reward even if you can't log in in given day.
I don't really get the principle of "skip days" - does this mean you don't need to log in every day although this seems to be the principle?
No, the principle is not logging in every day. The principle here is getting people to log on regularly. That should be obvious by the fact that they don't make people log in every day.
This is a recognition that people have lives and this is not a mobile game. People can't just open ESO up on their phone while on a business trip or at their kid's recital.0 -

When five days leeway sounds too good to be true you know the gaming economy has been rough.
