Meh Star Rewards (January) - Way to Ruin New Year

Kagetenchu · January 2019

Hmmm.....instead of giving us gold maybe if they gave us 100k telvar. That would probably be more desired.

Didnt we just had a entire dlc on the reward too. Like last month was a mount too. Its like complaining your daily present wasnt a diamond instead you got a ruby.

It was a DLC that I already get with ESO+ and a DLC that I have yet to start on any character - so yes, really useful.

Anyone with half a brain and not looking just to complain, knew January rewards were going to be like this. PTS is dropping this month, they want people teating the game. Sucks for consoles but this game stop giving a flip about consoles a long time ago.

I am glad the rewards aren’t great. More time for me to focus on playing the new content on PTS

The pet’s meh but I am stoked for the 100K.

Draxys · January 2019

Now that there aren’t crates, the daily rewards can gtfo. Who the hell wants a few pieces of a food buff that they’ll never use and have to type DESTROY to get them out of inventory?

SydneyGrey · January 2019

100,000 gold plus a pet? That sounds great to me.

Guess you missed the free vMA weapon token last month then

.....very meh indeed

i know free is free but as someone losing interest in the game and considering a break, this hardly temps me back

Maybe it's not even considered to make people stay. Sticking to a game which someone considers boring, or is lacking interest, because of some log-in rewards seems strange either way. But whatever floats your boat I guess...

Which doesn't mean I am overwhelmed by the rewards. I am not. But I wouldn't let some rewards decide whether I play a game or not. There could be tons of crates, free crowns or other stuff people seem to want, I wouldn't play if I am not interested in the game / couldn't have fun.

This thread is filled with so much fake cynicism...LMFAO

Free sure seems to have a different meaning to some people than from the definition I learned back in grade school. If we buy the game, pay for dlcs and subscriptions, then how is some glitter free? I care not for the glitter they are throwing. The added stinginess of taking away crates only reinforces the company's negative reputation.

^^^^^ Another one that gets me pretty good is when people constantly say if you subscribe to eso+ you get all the DLC for free.

No you dont.

Watchdog · January 2019

I quite like most of the rewards.

I have 11 characters now, and only three are level 50 (CP 400+ so far). My stashed XP scrolls actually came quite handy during the event, due to the XP boost. They helped me gain many a level for my characters.

Tel Var Stones and Alliance Points are very useful for me, since I do not PvP.

100k gold means a lot of crafting materials for furnishing my houses. Or maybe some furnishing plan or two. Nice.

I like pets, and that cute kitten is free. I might even cave in and buy it a Daddy tomorrow.

All in all, thank you ZOS for giving us free stuff.

quadraxis666 · January 2019

I just have one question, is there an addon that will auto destroy the junk so i dont have to mess around in my inventory to deal with crap i dont want? free crap is still crap.

Cause a click is such a hassle?

Yolokin_Swagonborn · January 2019

January 2018's rewards were even worse. So this is an improvement in a way.

WacArnold · January 2019

For someone who spends more than he farms, 100k is nice!

Emmagoldman · January 2019

Way to ruin the new year......dramatic much? Maybe this is a sign to try something new outside of the game

It’s free *** only for taking a minute to log in. You shouldn’t expect monster rewards. I couldn’t care less, free *** is free ***.

If you think it's really free, then you are a fool. There is nothing for free in life. You pay for everything ... one way or another.
Do you think ZOS is giving you stuff out of the goodness of their heart? It's a company that tries, like every other company, to maximize it's profit. Giving away resources / money without expecting to generate return is not serving that goal.

jircris11 · January 2019

Freaking over entitled kids, it's free you don't pay for it accept it or don't and shut the hell up about how its "meh" if you think your able to do better then try it.

I don't have much use for any of the daily rewards but some people like them - each to their own. A lot of the stuff I get is simply destroyed - foods, potions, horse training, XP scrolls, etc., because I don't need them and they simply take up inventory space.

As for being happy just because it's free - if you live in a 5th floor apartment and someone gave you a truck load of manure instead of a nice painting, would you still be happy to accept it just because it's free?

Yea because I live I can sell that for good money.

Matchimus · January 2019

1. Marketing team meeting - Many players not happy with crates as they think it's gambling. Let's remove them from free gifts so we reduce the enticement to gamble.

2. Next meeting - Many players not happy we have removed crates from free gifts. Better return them.

3. Next meeting - see point 1.

...Damned if u do, damned if u don't.

If you have to rely on free login bonuses to make you want to play the game...
maybe it is time for a break?

Yes, it is free. You don't even have to be a subscriber to get the daily rewards, so ... free. Totally free. 100% free.
Of course, they do it in order to increase the number of people logging in, so they have a reason to do it. This is not a shock, and surprises nobody. Just because there's a reason they do it doesn't make it any less free. Nobody thinks they do it "out of the goodness of their heart."
Still free. Super free. 100% positively free.
I'm looking forward to my free lion cub in a few weeks.

Don't participate in the daily rewards if you don't want to.

Yes, because I would give it to the community garden.

NyassaV · January 2019

Would be nice if I had furnishing space in my house to put said free pet

Matchimus · January 2019

Here I was thinking earthquake, tsunami, sti, cancer, amputation, she's leaving me for my best friend, or death were the only things that might ruin this year. Since it is now ruined I no longer have to worry. Thanks op.

Way to Ruin New Year...

How do they manage to survive outside?

G1Countdown · January 2019

Entitled much? If this ruined your 'New Year' I think you have more serious issues than log in rewards.

They dont. My step daughter and her friends wanted to go on a road trip but decided against it because friend's car did not have a good air-conditioner and I would not give them my car. Air-conditioning has made the world go soft.
