Gold mats is something that was requested to be added to daily rewards instead of yet more poisons etc. I'd much rather have 3 kuta than another stack of poisons to be destroyed in all honesty
Rewards were mostly meant for newer players,hence the xp boosts and consumables.New players can't craft items they need at beginning so the rewards help out til they can level crafting and stuff and do it themselves.I still doing quests and stuff and been here since beta,but I don't rush all content day 1,and complain about nothing to do in game,lol.
