Right now, you can miss a login bonus if you forget to pick it up.
This means that you are reminded each time you look at that screen that you forgot to pick up an item and the game is thus reminding you of that, likely for a significant part of the month.
This is a problem more on console than PC, since an addon can collect that for you on PC, but it is still a major annoyance.
The purpose is to get you to log in daily, not to get you to remember to grab it daily. That means the goodwill intending to be generated from these rewards can be easily negated if you forget to pickup 1 or more in a month. You will be reminded each day for the rest of the month of this!
This is not smart for keeping customers happy and adds no value since picking up the gift is not the important thing, logging in (to hopefully keep you engaged) is!
I know Tera (not with us anymore) had a daily login reward but also let you pick it up later as long as you had logged in, as one example. Remember the target purpose!

No.
Alliance point actually are dual purpose. They are collected to increase alliance rank on the character that earns them / picks them up and they also serve as a spendable currency, which is transferrable within the account.
Thus it is important which character first receives them. You can decide to pile the AP from login on a major pvp toon to gain further alliance rank or you can use the AP on a toon that doesn't do pvp to unkock useful skills without the need to fight.8 -

✭✭✭Yes, it announces it, but everyone can't tell me they closely read all this?
That splash screen becomes noise to most of us.
Either way, I had a week or two of frustration on my PS5 NA account when I was regularly reminded that I somehow missed the daily login, because the final day was locked for the remainder of the month!
My point is that this is supposed to be something that feels like a reward, not a regular remind that we forgot a steps once or more earlier in the month! That works against the point!
Reminding your players of a simple error for a significant part of the month is not a good idea, however "easy" it may seem to many of you! That is my main point here. Simply keeping things available for later pickup (during the same month) would eliminate this annoyance and help with minimal overall impact.

You don't need to read any of it, just click the button to simultaneously collect the reward and close the window, then you've got it, the spam is gone and you've got nothing to worry about.
Most days I don't even look at what the login reward is, I just hit enter to log into a character, wait for the loading screen then click the middle of the screen to clear the window so I can start playing.I don't know if it's different on consoles but on PC you don't need to remember, because when you log in the screen is filled with a giant advert with the login reward in a smaller box at the bottom and you have to accept it to clear the window and start playing.

This is the only situation where I could see someone getting past that screen without collecting the reward (I've never done it, but now I know it's possible I can see why some people might), but I don't think that's what the OP is talking about, since you'd still collect the reward that day. Also if the game just gave it to you automatically without you needing to do anything you wouldn't be able to choose which character collects it, so this would actually make it worse for people who want to switch characters first.
To be clear: I'm not against changing it. I quickly learned to ignore the spam, but I certainly wouldn't complain if it was gone and I could immediately get on with whatever I want to do and find the login reward in my mail or already in my inventory or whatever. I'm just surprised that people 'miss' a huge window that you have to manually clear before you can do anything else.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Blood_again✭✭✭✭✭I don't care about reminders etc, but I like the reward changes you suggest.
As I see it is not about UI but eligibility count.
Let me say it this way.
Current reward system says:
- It is Monday, you can get Day1 reward.
If I ignore it, another day I logged in the system says:
- It is Tuesday. I don't care you logged in yesterday. You didn't get Day1 reward, so today you can get... Day1 reward. Also, you won't get Day31 reward anymore, go kiss yourself.
What I want the system says:
- It is Tuesday. I remember, it is your second day login a month. So you can get Day1 and Day2 rewards, even if you didn't bother to get Day1 reward yesterday. Have a nice day!
That way I might obtain the rewards for last 7 days if I really logged in all those 7 days independently if I looked at the reward screen or not.
So, please ZoS, could the daily reward be the "daily-login" reward, not the "daily-clicked-the-screen-and-got-your-reward" reward?2 -

Yep, I get out of it asap because of all the crown advertising stuff. I have missed days as well because of this, in one month it cost me getting the "good item" which was an emote at the time. I was livid (well not really livid, but pissed becasue I wanted that emote).
At the minmum we should have a setting to auto collect the reward if desired to do so.

✭✭✭Does the Console UI not have the little "notifications" icon at the top of the Chat Box?
(Notifications is the right-most icon in the group of three icons in the top-left corner.)
Which just so happens to stay "activated" and visible in the same location on the UI once the chat box fades away, for as long as there is an unanswered notification waiting to be addressed.
An unclaimed Daily Reward is one such notification...
I sometimes skip claiming a daily reward on a specific character (so I can claim it with another, as others have mentioned), and the icon is visible enough that it drives me nuts until I log-out to claim the reward with the desired character.

Most of us know the daily reward is smack dab in the middle of that announcement. It does not take closely reading it. Heck, I do not read it at all and still accept the reward.

✭✭✭✭✭Who doesn't have clearing all notifications (mail, daily rewards, guild messages, etc.) as part of their log in check list? I can't even imagine having notifications present that I haven't checked, and if I am checking off notifications, not grabbing the daily log in reward from that notification just seems insane.5 -

✭I'd like it to auto redeem the reward, but I can also understand why you may not want that.
Alliance points give XP, best to claim that on a character that is not 10/10 support/assault.
Some items claimed will take up an inventory slot a character may not have.
Solution:
1. Make a 'crown bag' for all crown store items accessible to sub and non-sub players (non subs while not subbed, might still purchase items from the crown store)
2. Make all material items claimed from daily rewards go to the craft bag regardless of sub (this nullifies the what if inventory is full? problem)
3. Automatically redeem the item and send it to the relevant bag
4. Prompt player on the screen what was redeemed similar to a collection unlock, big letters etc.
Cons, the player has to pre-plan the character they want to use for the first log in of the day if they want to take advantage of the Alliance XP.

✭✭✭✭✭This is a non-issue in my view, or rather it's a player issue. There's an announcement screen on login that you can't miss, and if you do close it to allow later reward collection then (at least on vanilla PC, no idea about add-ons or console) there's a notification prompt in the chat window. No action needed by the devs.6 -

Insightful. Buggy, though, because I will get that randomly even when I have grabbed the daily log-in reward and have no mail.
