New daily reward reset times make no sense; please just use 0600 UTC like everything else

I understand that 0000 UTC is not a great reset time, as it coincides with NA primetime. So changing it is a fine idea.

But by why on earth is it 0300 and 1000 UTC?! Why not make the daily reward reset time the same as the daily reset times for everything else?

0600 UTC is outside of both NA and EU's prime time, and it is the current reset time for
  • Daily quests
  • Endeavors
  • Event tickets
  • A host of miscellaneous cooldowns

Why not just use this time for the daily reward reset as well?

The changes on the PTS mean that players will still have to keep track of and manage two separate "daily reset" times. And for those of us who play on both NA and EU, what we have on PTS mean that we need to track three different reset times. That's nonsensical.

Please standardize around one single reset time―0600 UTC―for everything.

    One time to rule them all makes the most sense. But expecting sense here...

    While we're at it, can we finally standardize the "player-dependent" cooldowns, such as hireling mails and horse training, to operate on a global daily cooldown? This would alleviate a lot of stress when trying to maximise hireling material gain and minimise the dead time between horse training lessons, whilst also still encouraging the same number of daily logins.

    So much this. Let me play the game when I want, and not when some timers tell me to play.

    As someone playing on both servers I'd appreciate it if both are at the same time. And like Code mentioned above, having just one global reset time at 06:00 UTC would make the most sense. Which could apply to login rewards, writs, horse timers, hirelings, dungeon and BG random reward reset etc.

    I would love it if Hirelings just reset at 0600 and 1800 instead of being dependent on when you logged in last.

    Wait what? They will change time reset?
    If I understand it correctly, daily rewards will reset 5am Central european time and daily writs and seals 3 hours later? Or how?
    Or am the only one confused?

    I'm also a strong supporter of just having everything be at one consistent time across the board. It'd make everything so much easier to manage.

    Server load, as I have heard it explained.

    Same here. I would prefer they be at the same time for all servers. I don't care if they are different from all of the other timers, or the same, or what they are, but the daily rewards timers should be the same globally.

    I was genuinely surprised they chose a different time for daily endeavor changeovers. It's better than what we have now, but it doesn't make sense why they didn't just use the standard reset time.

    I just hope this means the day will start on the same calendar day, rather than the day before. I missed September 1st because I logged in a few minutes after 8 PM on September 1st. :|

    The thing is, the hireling mails have a 12h cooldown, so you can potentially get two in one day. Would be nice to have 2-12h reset times though
