1. Goes against the idea of the grind. Why not 30 days? 90? or the full 180 days? If you only have to log in every 10 days, you are hardly getting daily training. It's immersion breaking and very "gamey" so I don't think ZOS would go for it. They seem to value a bit of realism in most of their game mechanics.

2. The items you get from the keys can be swapped between characters, so although this isn't needed, I don't see why they shouldn't do it.

3. Yes, this needs to happen. Been thinking about suggesting this myself.

1) pre-pay mount upgrades, up to 10 days in advance. Upgrades would still the same amount of time to enact.

2) undaunted chest keys as currency so each toon doesn't have a bunch of them, they'd be in an account wide purse

3) daily random countdown timer so we know when it gets reset for the extra x

Please.

I don't really care about #1.

#2 though... yeah, that would be great. I hate switching from char to char to open chests when I'm looking for something in particular, and generally never use keys unless I am looking for something in particular. That would just we wasteful.

On #3, you can already tell when your random daily is reset! Go into dungeon finder and look at the random daily page. You will see that the color of the reward is either purple or blue. If it's purple, that means it's reset and you will get the full reward. If it's blue, you've already done it today and you will not get the full reward. They also added the wording '(Daily Complete)' next to it if you've already done it. That said, a timer till it is open again would be nifty.

That has nothing to do with it. The reason its on a timer is to encourage daily logins, plain and simple.

I would have to agree with you Tyrobag. Plus, IMO, I do not understand how is it not “gamey” to log in for 10-20 seconds a day just to train mounts on my alt’s and then log off. To me, it makes much more sense to go to the NPC, make an arrangement for them to feed/train my mount for a week or so, and then be on my merry way.

It's not gamey because in the eyes of an NPC inhabiting the virtual world, you woke up, walked down to the stables(or woke up at the stables) and then paid the stablemaster some gold to train you(not your mount) in riding skill. Since the stablemaster has to serve so many customers in a day, he has put a strict limit on 1 riding lesson per day, not 10 lessons, not 180. He also does not want to train you in your sleep, so he made a rule that you must be awake(online) to get training.

Clearly ZOS wants us to log in daily to get our riding skill, but they could have let us pre-pay the stablemaster so we receive our training on login, but since that is what I would consider 'gamey', I don't think ZOS would go for that either. Everything in their game is based in a bit of reality and role play. Hirelings are employed by you, so it makes sense that they would simply collect stuff and send it to you without having to do anything, but everything else in the game requires a player to actually do something in order to receive a service or product. You can't pull up a guild store interface anywhere, you have to physically visit a banker. Even things like personal merchants and bankers come in the form of an NPC that needs to be summoned.

I am not sure why people suggest things that go against the 'living world' ZOS has created. if it's "immersion breaking" then it simply won't happen. Not because I don't want it to, because ZOS hasn't strayed from their vision yet, so it's foolish to assume they would specifically for YOUR suggestion.
