Insight to Agree to Awesome Ratio = 1:6.04:2.76 as of 1/25/2019

Compared to people that I've ignored = I am 18% more insightful, 20% less agreeable, and 88% more awesome.

    I really hope for crap, as I'll be missing a week this month due to travel. But knowing my luck it will be awesome, and I will miss out on the best bits. Le sigh.

    Honestly I'm happy with some random consumables or currency. When I'm at home it's enough of an incentive (with hireling mail, daily crafting and guild store sales) to get me to log in for a few minutes even if I'm not planning on playing ESO just yet.

    But if I'm away and can't log in I don't worry about what I'm missing, because it's not a big deal if I have to miss some days.

    I think it's only newer players that complain about free stuff. I feel like those of us who have been playing since before daily rewards was implemented appreciate them more, though I do miss the free crates 😈

    It's free stuff anyway. Complaining about it is like finding 10$ on the street and complaining that it would be better to find 100$. If You dont find that 10$ worth of bending Your backs to pick it up then dont pick it up.

    I like the trash tri pots. They have saved me 100's of mats. I only now use my crafted tri spell power pots in trials and difficult vet dungeons. Before I was using them almost daily.

    The repair kits are fine because I'm lazy and pressing one button is easier and less time consuming than going through each piece individually. I'm also tight with my gold and unless it's under 300g, I never use a vendor for repairs. The gems and xp scrolls are trash to me as I have over 80 scrolls of various %'s and never use them. But like with how i value those trash tri pots, I'm sure others will find the scrolls etc useful. Different folk, different needs.

    The are overachievers at underperforming. The daily rewards have gotten increasingly lame. And they don't even bother themeing them... AT ALL. Seriously... the jester festival is in March and not a single Jester related ANYTHING? How difficult is it to take a Jester hat from the Jester hat pack, modify it slightly and make that a reward. Super easy - barely an inconvenience. But no, they just can't be bothered.

    I'm expecting the same for April - hey, 25th anniversary of Elder Scrolls and 5th anniversary of ESO - AND.... junk. That's what I'm expecting. No work whatsoever in it.

    I personally expect more underwhelming junk in April as well, maybe, just maybe one outfit or a pet, but definitely no crown crates by a long shot.

    i love the free tripots too, tbh!

    but it seems most feel the rewards are underwhelming...whining aside! :-)

    It's ZOS's five year celebration AND it's my wife's birthday month... and mine! So, these rewards will be sick!

    Heck, if ZOS made 30 days of Tripots, I'd be happy!
    Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

    My characters are addicted to Crown Chicken Dinners and Tri-pots. When they run out, I have to cook food and potions for them, so hopefully, more of them in April.

    Given that we've had a mount, pets, crates, costumes and more - it makes me kinda sad that the free monthly logins are usually better than the ESO + offer .... Heres hoping for something other that a tiny statue this month!

    (I know lots of peeps like them, I do too, but would be nice for some variety)

    Edit to stay on topic: the fillers always decent for levelling alts so I'm happy either way ^^

    I like the tri pots.
    Yes, they are nice on tank, not as good as crafted but good enough in easier dungeons.
    The crown repair kits are also nice.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    More garbage to jam up my inventory. I don't even look at what I get each day anymore. Most likely just gets deconned with my treasure maps and jewelry writs.

    People are too cynical. ZOS are well aware that April is special

    People quickly forgot how ZOS gave Summerset owners a cool pet, mount and Mansion for free!

    honestly, the main reason I find them an occasional annoyance is that you have to get through multiple days of poisons before you could get to costume, or pet, or even just gold.

    most of the rewards are nominal for an established player and that is fine. even for established player, tripots and repair kits can be nice, but those gosh... darn... poisons. that require extra steps to be deleted.... UGH.

    just make them vendorable for like 1 gold, or convertible to crown gems or SOMETHING. or just stop giving us poisons all together, that would be nice too.

    /pre-emtively disappointed :P

    I dont know how this is a mystery to you all lol.

    Months with the shittiest log in rewards happen when content is still fresh and appealing. Its when people are bored with nothing new to do for a few months that zos slaps us with the phatty daily log in bonuses.
