If it was a new system to give candy they wouldn't do it in a way which required X number of log-ins per month to qualify to the best items. Let's not fool ourselves into thinking this is a charitable gift for the benefit of the customer.

It's just a new feature to throw some candy at us. It's not going to make you fat IRL, I promise.

does warframe have a community often yelling at the devs and threatening of quitting if thing doesn't get fixed? its my understanding the warframe is quite listening to player feedback and the general population is happy with balancing and also is free

Personally I don't think a log in, claim, log out reward is helpful in retaining players. I mean if I don't want to play ESO I am not going to play, just log in, get reward, log out.
It's exactly how I did it in other games I wasn't interested in playing that evening.If it was a new system to give candy they wouldn't do it in a way which required X number of log-ins per month to qualify to the best items.

"With Update 18, we're introducing daily login rewards. With this new feature, when you log into the game you'll be able to claim a special gift. These gifts could include consumables, currencies, special collectibles, and even Crown Crates! With daily login rewards, you'll have even more reasons to visit Tamriel each and every day."
Edit:please keep it crown only items, cosmetics, etc, no currency should be a reward for simply logging in
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. I know its unture at least from what ive seen in eso pc na population but this might breed a "gimmie" generation of eso players. If one could login and get instant gratification why do anything else at all?
"With daily login rewards, you'll have even more reasons to visit Tamriel each and every day." Why not have players who want to claim these rewards do them by doing one daily quest a day? If your goal is to encourage players to play the game please lock these rewards behind a guaranteed drop off the first daily someone does. So you will see players of all sides (pve,pvp) doing dailies (pledges, pvp dailies, writs) for these login rewards and make the game more vibrant and alive and they can stick around longer than the 2 minutes it take to log in and log back off for the rewards.
