April Monthly Rewards? Under or Overwhelming?

Fluke.Slywalker✭✭✭overwhelmingPretty poor stuff, something that started off really well, I was excited to log on each day and see what I would get but now... Just more crap to destroy, at least take the 2 second delay of deleting the poisons ffs!
I wouldn't ask for anything more valuable just more variation in what we get.
Underwhelming** lmaoEdited by Fluke.Slywalker on April 1, 2019 9:11AM1 -
SoLooney✭✭✭✭✭Its underwhelming cause they released good stuff like crown crates before and I haven't seen them in the reward in months
I'm not complaining about free stuff, those tri stat potions, soul gems, repair kits and esp those 150 perc xp scrolls are amazing but its lackluster compared to the rewards for logging in everyday.1 -
LiraTaurwen✭✭✭✭✭Disapoiting rewards again... I wish I was playing back when there were cool stuff in the daily rewards. They should have never had those things to begin with if they were planning on removing them from the rewards.1

✭✭✭✭✭otherThe rewards are useful things, plus a pet, so no complains here. It would be nice to have an extra special item for the anniversary, but at least, there's no stress if something is missed.2 -

✭✭✭underwhelmingNice chicken theme there! I'm guessing that crates are a thing of the past - perhaps giving freebie ones didn't have quite the effects ZOS were hoping for (get people hooked, they buy more), instead we hoarded gems which they're now trying to make us spend on overpriced stuff. I doubt we'll see those again, somehow.
Most of this stuff is useful enough, except soul gems - I got in-game soul gems coming out of my ears, don't need more!
At the end of the day, I see this stuff as just a little bonus, as I log in every day to actually PLAY the game anyway. I'd be logging in, rewards or not, so for me, it's a plus, if only a very small one. I quite liked getting the crates simply because I don't ever buy them, and I did get a few nice things I wanted from them - and a lot of stuff cluttering up my collections that I didn't want and will never use.RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.1 -
Amphithoe✭✭✭✭✭underwhelmingPersonal opinion. I still won't complain about free stuff.Guildmaster: School of Julianos0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I don't automatically criticise stuff that is free, although that can certainly be justified depending on the circumstances. If, for example, I dumped a truckload of human waste on someone's lawn I doubt he'd be impressed by my claim that as it was free he had nothing to complain about
!
In the case of login rewards, my concern is not so much that they have declined in appeal, rather that as generally uninteresting free gifts they are now stacking up to the point where in sheer numbers alone they have become pretty pointless, and in those circumstances I would simply like an option to disable the reward scheme so I'm not bothered by it when I log in. Sure it doesn't take much to accept and destroy it, or simply add it to the pile, but it would be nice to have the option just to avoid it altogether.1 -
Neyane✭✭✭✭underwhelmingI logged on this morning, excited to see what the new rewards will be. Thinking we’ve had such awful rewards lately, surely this must be a good month! Utter shock, disgust and disappointment. The rewards are there to encourage you, this just tells me that like the last months, don’t worry about logging on.The most important thing in life is enjoying yourself.ValkyrieMikuu ♥1200+ PC EU ♥1000+ PS EU ♥Last time I played ESO on PC was before covid. I'm back ^.^2 -

IMO opinion, people were banking all the crown gems from the junk they got in the free crates and buying worthwhile items from the crown gem store, alas - they soon stopped that! Lol.2 -

✭✭im tired of useless poisons that I never use cuz crafted ones are superior...food that I never eat cuz my cooking skillz are superior...tripots I use cuz im 2 lazy to use my superior alch sklilz...research scrolls I never use cuz im maxed...soulgems I never use cuz I have a plethora...honestly the only things we should get as daily rewards should be gold/crown crates/actually tripots since they are useful for tanks/heals and aren't that bad vs crafted ones.../pets/mounts/costumes(damn RPers!)/emotes/personalities(srls when was the last time we got a new personality????…)/maybe skins...seriously right now they only need to add lockpicks to the reward pools and we are done...so yeah they can make it great but never try...and when you "gift" someone garbage...its still garbage...and yes I know they can be useful to new players but this is the issue of ESO right now...its focus is on new players only...we are talking about a game that's 5+years old so a lot of vets here...that we are always pushed aside3 -

✭underwhelmingIt'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.
It's more like finding 1000 pennies on the ground. It's nice, but also annoying to the point of having to decide if it is worth your time.PC-NA2 -

xF1REFL1x✭✭✭Was planning on buying the chicken when it came out... but now I can save. I miss the free crates but don't think they will ever choose to put them back in no matter what we say or think.0 -
Hymzir✭✭✭✭✭
✭underwhelmingI'm seriously thinking about skipping some days just so I wont be burdened with a chicken in my collections tab...
I'm sure some will find a use for it, but for me it'd just be another unwanted thing cluttering up my collections tab.
They should either give something actually interesting or just a lump sum of gold each day for logging in. That would actually be at least somewhat useful thing to get. Sure free *** is free *** and some of it has some sort of semi-useful purpose, but for the most part, the only things that are actually useful are the tripots that I use in place of trash pots these days, and gold which has universal applications. Everything else is pretty much garbage or meaningless stuff you need to clean out from your inventory.
I got millions upon millions of unused alliance points and can easily get more in a single session of PVP, than all the AP rewards in a single month combined. Poisons are mostly useless, but at least I have some characters that can use them for trash fights (they're free after all), and might as well use the crown soul gems for rezzes. That way I can vendor more of the normal variety as trash for gold. The food goes pretty much unused or just gets scrapped, but sometimes I end up using one or two when running around doing chores. Beats having nothing and they really have no other use anyway. Crown repair kits are fine and all, but not really needed, seeing as crafting writs keep dropping grand repair kits more than enough. Got prolly close to 500 of them distributed among my characters. Do not even remember when I last used gold to repair gear.
The most useless things in the bunch are all the damn XP scrolls... What the heck am I supposed to do with them? Got way over 1000 CP already and no point in getting more since they've been frozen. Besides, with all the events these days, it seems that non double XP is more of the unusual state of things, and I already have 50 or so xp potions sitting in my bank, close to 30 xp scrolls, and about half a dozen grand xp scrolls. When it comes time to level up a necromancer it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience...
Free stuff is free, I get that. But they certainly do not entice one logging on each day, so why have them at all? All they end up doing is devaluing everything else. This is why I was against the whole notion back when it was first introduced. You either end up having to offer actually meaningfully valuable stuff as gifts, thus undermining other mechanisms for gaining them (free crown crates means less purchases of crown crates, actually valuable resources like gold tempers will undermine ingame economy, and other rare stuff like motifs or furnishing plans will mean less reasons to do actual content), or you will end up offering pointelss drivel that will just leave people pissed and disappointed.
Free is free, but if you get a banged up rusty mug with a hole in the bottom as a present, you'll still gonna be disappointed, even though it is a free gift. It would've been much better not to implement the whole system in the fist place.
Besides, when you need to bribe people to log on to your game each day, you're not going in a good directions to begin with.Edited by Hymzir on April 2, 2019 3:38AM4
