Gems are acquired through paid or promotional crate contents. Crates will occasionally appear on the reward schedule.

But most daily schedules are filled with very casual bonuses which are much more a 'thanks for choosing our product today' than a currency in and of themselves. You won't always be able to upgrade what you get, the same way you can't upgrade the stack of napkins the cashier put in your fast food bag to a box of chicken nuggets.

I'm gonna have all this useless AP i have no idea wtf to do with..

I still keep all the consumable trash from daily rewards and from Crown Crate RNGs. It happened to me a few times that I was knees deep in prime time PvP and my food buff or my poison run out (I don't use enchants on my back bar, always a poison) and I had no spares in the inventory or bank, so the trash consumables saved me from abandoning group for half an hour to relog to an alt with proper stuff, bank it, de-bank it etc, so even if they're not as good as the stuff you can craft, it's a good alternative till it's nearly daylight outside and you realise you have work in 2 hours

All the crown consumables appearing in rewards shoud get rid of that DESTROY requirement. I can understand the rewards might be good for new players, but for experienced players this turns daily rewards to daily irritation.

I'm guessing this is in place for Crown Store Items, as people pay real money for it, so destroying something accidentally would be a nightmare for support to deal with considering it's real world cash. Daily rewards give you crown store items, so it could just be an oversight but I wouldn't hold my breath for ZOS differentiating between the two.

Watch they add a "Kill Add option" in crown store for 25k crowns, per character

I still don't get why people moan so much about it. Tapping 'Alt' on the keyboard isn't really that much work and to be honest, sometimes there is something coming to crown store in like 20 days that I really want but by the time I remember when it dropped, it's already been removed, so I kinda like a little reminder of the newest crown store stock. It's not like you have to enter a cursor mode and look for a tiny-tiny 'X' to close 17 pop-ups that then turn out to redirect you to a mobile game with a bikini-armor wizard lady saying in sultry voice: "Waaarning, do not play this game if you are not an adult...".

That is ZOS problem to deal. Consumables undermine the reason why there is the DESTROY in the first place. I certainly keep pestering them with bug reports about this. So widely rewarded items are no longer purchased from crown store, so ZOS could as well pull them away from there.
