They're not about the rewards per se, they're about building up positive feelings - there's that word again - about the brand. However, there's a quid pro quo - the loyalty cannot be one way. If the brand lets the user down, whether in the form of frequent flyer points you can never actually use or the big monthly reward you miss out on because there was a God damn hurricane in your part of the world and the system didn't have enough slack - then the positive feelings dissipate and become negative. That's where feelings of punishment come from - the person genuinely tried but missed out because of circumstances beyond their control. Psychologically that's bordering on abusive because you can't negotiate with a system. That's why smart vendors build slack into their loyalty programs.Bouldercleave wrote: »Bouldercleave wrote: »TheLastEpicurean wrote: »I have to say that logging in every day is beginning to feel like a chore and is actually pushing me to stop playing.

This is one of the problems with society today. YOU ARE NOT BEING PUNISHED! If you miss a day or two, you just don't get your free crap that day.
Stop playing the victim guys and gals - there is ZERO punishment for not logging in every day, you just miss a bit of free junk.
We could go back to a couple of years ago when you got nothing at all.
Another issue with your post, nobody is getting anything for free here. We all paid for this game. Expecting the daily reward standards to be so high that only the most dedicated players get them is a pretty entitled attitude.
Did you just seriously say that the DAILY reward standards are too high? The DAILY REWARDS standards.
If you can't or don't log in DAILY, you don't get the rewards. I missed the big payout last month as well. Because I couldn't log in DAILY.
Oh, and by the way, I'm a sociopath - I couldn't care less about your "feelings" of betrayal and disappointment.
Question.
What is a Potoroo? and why you are the real one?
It's Australian cuisine.
The real one has pineapple in it.
