Extra thingies for doing something I do anyway, hardly going to complain about that
It’s not that....it’s that
-ESO Plus (gated QoL only)
-Chapters (outside of eso plus only)
-Houses crown only
-Cosmetics crown only
-Crown crated (exclusive crate and crown gem only)
On top of all of that....the ongoing issues that aren’t being addressed and more issues being added with 90-180 day “balancing”
....they go and revert back to what they said Tamriel Unlimited was to remove.
Daily login rewards are often the sign of a game declining and so many games that are starting to die often implement these items as incentives to logging in.

People have been wanting "loyalty" rewards.

Maybe that is because they decided they want people to play all the time instead of like how they said before. Or maybe they are trying to reward people that DO log in all the time, while encouraging more people to do just that. Or maybe they are the fiery devil sent here to cause chaos and destruction and ruin our very lives.
My biggest issue is that these daily rewards have the tendency to be just clutter for the bags. If it gives anything, it should be stuff that doesn't use bag slots. Currency would be fine, but the consumables part is going to either be filling up bags or be thrown away. And new players won't even know what to do with that stuff. This always happens to me when I start a new game that has this system. This system as it is described will add nothing more but clutter.
