Are the daily rewards worth it for you?

    It depends. This month is really sad for me, so "No" for this month...

    When we had many crates as rewards, I was really excited! :) All other rewards are "ok" (I like getting free Crown Repair Kits for example, even though I have thousands of ordinary repair kits from writs - they are just super convenient to use). But if I wasn't going to log in some day, little gold/AP/consumables wouldn't force me :)

    Pets, mounts, costumes would be nice if they were good according to my taste :D - but so far I only liked black Halloween cat pet from all the collectibles we got as daily rewards. That's why I think that collectibles are really bad daily rewards - everyone has their own taste and while somebody is looking forward to this month, other person is really disappointed and is basically left without rewards :'(

    We used to not have daily rewards system; but since developers implemented it, I would expect them to make it exciting for every active player so everyone has something to look forward to each month.

    Somebody can say that in crates we also could get collectibles which we don't like, but we also got gems anyway - meaning we could eventually save up and purchase some collectible which we like in some crate season. One of my favourite hats is Forester's Flanneled Hood - it costed 16 gems, basically few free crates from daily rewards <3

    Even free Murkmire DLC was useless reward for me at that time (I was still going to keep subscribing back then), but now it turns into nice reward cause I'm 99.9% sure I won't renew subscription when my current one expires. If we somehow get some really nice PTS notes in January (or free crates for subscriber appreciation events like we used to have), the DLC will become useless daily reward for me again ;)

    I wouldn't log in purely for the 'reward' as they seem to be getting progressively poorer.

    Worth what exactly? Logging in (something I do 99% of days anyways) and clicking a button? Sure, it is, but I chose "No" because the rewards get worse and worse each month. Long-time players get the short end of the stick when it comes to daily rewards (which cater to new players), when it should be the opposite. Sure, 100k gold is good, but it's an extremely safe financial move for ZOS, especially now that Crown gifting is a thing. People have more gold -> people buy more Crown items from sellers -> ZOS sells more Crowns. Maybe I'm being a tad too dramatic but I'm saddened by the fact that daily rewards are a good way to increase customer satisfaction and they seem to be using it to benefit themselves instead.

    Right now I have to say no opinion. The reason is because when this first started we got some awesome stuff for the rewards but the last two months it's been mostly, well, junk. I guess we won't be getting crown crates anymore? Yeah it's all free but to start off so strong and drop off so quickly... ugh.

    Not anymore no. I liked getting some crates before (I refuse buying them ZOS, denying me them in the daily rewards is not changing my stance on that in any way), and I fully agree some stuff has little to no value, like the soul gems.
    Replacing them with some crafting patterns and ingredients is a great idea!

    I expect that if they ever turn off the daily rewards, the ones complaining about how bad they are now will be the loudest to complain that they aren't getting any freebies anymore.

    This is one of the worst arguments to ever exist in these forums.

    The reason free daily rewards exist in this game, at least, is to encourage people to log in and play for a minimum of 5 minutes. If the daily reward system does not achieve this for both either the player or the developer, it is not functioning as it is supposed to function. More complaints show the flaw of this system and it would never be spotted if there were no complaints.

    As common in these forum complaints, it only has to do with entitlement.

    It’s quite likely that everything about daily ‘rewards’ is calculated by the marketing team. What goes in there is manipulated to in turn manipulate the consumer. There’s good odds that if, say, crown crate sales are already good, they don’t give out freebies as there is little need to addict new buyers with such promotions. Notice that the ‘free’ returns of old crate seasons was followed by offering those crates for sale again? It’s all marketing.

    I don't recall a single complaint that could be described as entitlement. People either never wanted the reward system in the first place, feel that the level of rewards has gone downhill month by month, and/or would like an option to disable it. A lot of complaints are about the loss of the crown crates which were the main rewards offered, but don't confuse regret at losing something that was previously given with entitlement. If anything, it's the "Yes please, I'll take any free stuff without question" that reflects a sense of entitlement.

    They should have done them like Enlightenment, and not Hirelings. All this crap trying to force us to log in every day is such a load. A reward that builds up the longer we have been off line is much more useful. Even if they capped it so that you couldn't get anything, if you didnt log in before it was over.
    - Say I log in on the 10th and then not again until the 2nd of the next months. So only got days 1-10, and then days 1,2 and missed days 11-30/31st.

    Free stuff is great but a lot of the rewards are useless like crown poisons, food, Tel var, alliance points, XP scrolls (come on my toons are CP 1050!)

    The poisons really make me grate my teeth I would rather have 10 rubedite ore or something

    Same as many other 'yes' answers here-- it's free. Yeah something's are nigh-useless but at least you can trade some in for crown gems (which is a pain, but free stuff.)

    I guess the gold is ok. I have 1.6m gold and I plan on buying the Riften place soon. Otherwise Idc about the pet and everything else is not really anything I need or want.
    Although I am not disappointed it's a weaker month. I always end up suffering from New Life burn out and will miss a few days of logging in.

    once I got the skin I've scaled right back. I was running 14 characters but it was sooo boring, after all it just a repeat of the last 3 years events. The basic rewards are dross, even the skinchanger motifs have become worthless and therefore pointless. The sheer boredom fo this event have cured me of the ESO obsession and my NY res is to spend less time on ESO. so far so good

    January rewards are really awful, as the last time when there was 100k reward. Really, guys, most part of vet players doesn't need 100k cause they're trading more per week, there's no need in xp scrolls and other trash like tri-pots or crown meal for such players cause it's totally useless. Yes, it's free, but it's also annoying for 20 of 30(31) days, and it's also demonstrating that zos dont want to do anything for "old" players, and it's really sad.

    I'm glad someone else gets it.

    This is the only reason why it exists. Logins, and data points for reports.

    It might seem that 100k is a small amount (about 1.5 boring hours of grind for me) but the last time when they did the gold giveaway the prices for the crowns jumped up by 25% (in my guild at least). It will do more harm than good for crown buyers imo.
    Pet is a nice addition to the collection but I will never use it.
    Overall it looks like a definite deterioration.

    Not really. I never use potions and poisons, I have no use for alliance points and telvar stones, so as an incentive to login, well they really aren't as I wouldn't be bothered if I missed any of them.

    It would be better if there was more variety between items rather than repeating the same things in varying quantities all the time.
