I'm fine with uninteresting rewards, they've never been an incentive for me to log in anyway. If I can log in I will for other reasons (at least to say hello to my guild, pick up hireling mail and see if anything in the guild store has sold) and if I don't log in it's usually because I'm not at home and couldn't log in even if I wanted to.
The one thing I would change is to give out less potions, poisons, food and crafting research scrolls and replace them with currencies or maybe crafting materials or something. Someone in another topic mentioned Guild Wars 2's login rewards as being better even though they're always the same and I've been thinking I don't think they're any better (and one of the most popular ones there is a valuable crafting material, which isn't that different to being given 100k gold) but they are easier to store. The majority of them are currencies or go into crafting material storage (which everyone has free access to in that game) so while they're not that exciting it's something you can easily put away and tell yourself you'll probably use later without it taking up bank space.

I do think they're phasing out the daily logins and letting daily Endeavors take the place.
When login rewards are unique and irreplaceable, they become polarizing.
People who don't like the unique thing complain they're useless or ugly, and players who missed out but do like the item are basically out of luck because they can never get it.
One recent example is the Netch hat. Some people found it amazing and funny, others found it very gross. But if you weren't able to log in 15 times that month you will probably never get the hat. Unless they recolor its default or make a tiny tweak and throw it into crates -- but then it's still not the same item.
