    They used to give 5+ crates every month, which was overkill (I got 2 apex mounts, 2 legendary mounts, and 400 gems without ever buying a crate lol). But putting a single crate in each month wouldn't hurt.

    In any case, I still log on for the pet.

    I would like to see more mount speed, capacity, stamina upgrades more cosmetics none of the dumb poisons I always have to type 'DESTROY' for, pets are nice but i have so many now, more cosmetics especially themed ones to the current events of the month. The tri pots are nice the gold is nice and alliance points, where are the tel var stones haven't had them in a while?How come we don't get any crates any more? But honestly they are so bad now i don't care if I miss the whole month any more tbh so not really incentive to log in imo.

    They honestly don’t even work to keep me logging in any more. I used to make sure I would log in daily when they had crates but I barely logged in at all this month.

    This is a good month to work on Crafting, if that is something that needs to be done. I will also not turn down the food and potions they hand out. The only thing that they routinely hand out that I DESTROY is the poisons. I never have a need for those, so I have plenty that I can use.

    They turn out to be pretty bad, but not completely horrid.
    • The costume-or-pet has been nice on multiple occasions, and this seems like another one.
    • XP scrolls are quite nice. The lesser ones have 4x the duration of Psijic Ambrosia, which suggests their value is comparable to that of a piece of Perfect Roe.
    • Soul gems are a joke.
    • So are mimic stones, especially during a month when we'll likely be showered in style stones.
    • Crown Meals are redundant with stuff a decent provisioner can make, but offer convenience vs. that alternative, more so while leveling.
    • Similarly tripots.
    • I don't understand why people like research scrolls. I have a 9-trait crafter, and doing research on any others is of very limited value given the drop rate and value of master writs.
    • Who uses poisons other than min-maxers who wouldn't want inferior Crown stuff?

    Chicken is nice. Mimic stones - not the worst thing, can be useful (though I still have a lot from some event).

    Thanks for the screenie! Not into chickens except as food. That'll be one I never use. Oh, maybe I'll make it a hen house somewhere and stuff it away out of sight....

    Mimic stones - yep, I'm nearly out. XP scrolls, always good. What are those odd parchments in the last row? (Sneaking post just as company arrives....)

    Well I started destroying XP scrolls... already too many toons and scrolls saved for necromancer, so now they are wasting slots like the research scrolls, mimic stones and soul gems.

    I usually don't complain about free stuff but I won't deny I was expecting a surprise for the anniversary.

    The chicken is the only thing I'm looking forward to. The rest I expected, most I'll destroy. But I have all the chickens that have been available so far. Therefore this free lovely will be an excellent addition.

    I don't need more pets, but the scrolls and tri-pots are quite useful to me. I like mimic stones as well. I have so many of the poisons though, I don't need any more of those.
    Do people actually use those crown store poisons? Just curious.

    Sadly, I have two Grandmaster Crafters. I guess I can work on a third?

    Still doesn’t stop them from giving me crappy 6 voucher master writs or 30 voucher jewelry ones. :)

    I think they're fine. The first few months of the daily rewards were cool, especially the crates. I enjoy getting the potions, gold, and the occasional cute pet 🙂 I mostly enjoy that new players get things to help them, even though these are underwhelming to people who have been playing for a long time.

    I use to log in every day because i wanted my free crates. I would usually end up playing for at least 15-30 minutes. Run a dungeon or BG, work on a house, gather, craft, post stuff on guild store.

    Now i only log in when i actually feel like playing. So the rewards did work. The other prizes arent worth waiting 5 minutes plus for the game to load and tbh the events have even felt very lack luster and the lag just is horrible. I wont buy crates because i am not spending $40 for 15 crates when the chances of something desirable is so low. My limit is probably closer to 50 cents a crate. I mean its not like a get a real item out of it.

    the last 2 months have really been....terrible!

    We're being experimented on.

    They're varying the shininess of the rewards and seeing how many people keep logging in. When they figure out the sweet spot - from their perspective - that's where rewards will settle.

    totally agree! :-)

    My bank's overflowing with unused crown consumables. There's nothing to do but destroy them.

    I'll take the chicken, but I have so many pets already and I don't use any of them.

    I think they're betting that we're going to log in every day anyways for the anniversary event, so the extra motivation of daily rewards is unnecessary.
