The daily awards are a trap. Don’t fall for the loop.

Grow up already. They're adding a new system to help engage players. It's worked in plenty of other games, including non-F2P titles like BDO.
ZoS could announce tomorrow they're doing everything player's have ever wanted and you people would still act like petulant children because it didn't happen sooner.
This is why I avoid the forums like a bubonic plague.

But i dont want to get peed in the face and get told its raining.
your not getting screwed. their not gonna give you crazy stuff for free man stop acting like your entitled just cause of where your at in the game. its a free thing that their being generous enough to give us they could remove it right now if they wanted to but their not. so show the developers some respect.
You know what is better than 10g???? A Lockpick!!!!

If you get 10 gold three out of 7 days, random crafting mats three days and a super rare motif some time in that week, you are much more likely to continue logging in every day on the chance that you get that super rare motif than if you get 500 gold per day. Ever see the lottery commercials that say "Today could be the day"?
It's explained pretty clearly in the concept of variable interval intermittent reinforcement in Skinnerian operant conditioning, though this is a slightly modified version, since you *always* get a reward, but the big reward you want is always a possibility - even if only 0.0002%.

If the rewards we are seeing on the PTS are not the rewards going live, then what exactly with the daily login bonus are we suppose to give feedback on? What exactly with the daily login bonus are we testing?

Whilst I agree with you about showing the devs respect, the reason for the daily rewards is to encourage players to log in every day. They are not a generous free gift...there is, quite reasonably, an agenda behind it.
OP was pointing out that if that is indicative of the level of said rewards (which @ZOS_GinaBruno has since clarified is not), they are hardly worth the effort for someone who needs persuading.
Not every prize will be “OMG this is amazing best day eva”. Sometimes free things are mundane, something even 4 year olds can understand and appreciate.
Daily rewards, good idea in itself.
But can you make it any clearer that you dont understand and care about your own game then putting 10/50/100 gold as a daily reward? Not even a 4 year old that played this game for 10min would put 10 gold as a reward and think "Yep, this will make a diffrence, people will love this!" Even this little kid would know that 10 gold are absolutley nothing in Eso, and that absolutley noone needs those 10 gold, not even the newest player that literally just made his character.
This i not funny anymore. This is sad. If you devs are at this point of not understanding, please go study your game and its players.
