It could be anything random, from a small gil or tomestone amount to a rare potion which instantly gives 1/2 or 1 level on any job it's used. And some legendary rare items can be exclusive only to daliy logins, like minions or glamour sets to make the feature even more appealing.

I think it could be Daily Logout Reward as ppl play everyday maynot logoff for a week. ^^;
Ofcoz you need press the logout in the game to trigger it.

very likely it will be put in Chanllange Log and reward like 5000g....

Daily logins are a tacky reward used in games that are just trying to hook you in and keep you on. You log in to get the reward, well I"m already on might as well do more. Mainly found in mobile games or F2P games or games that are trying to keep their players engaged in collecting something new and unique in.

It doesn't make any sense to put it into FFXIV now when in all honesty, XIV does have it's own forms of "daily log on bonuses". You log on daily to do cactpot, Beastmen dailies, Duty Roulette Bonuses, check on certain time based content and GC resets on items that gain xp. So there is incentive to log on daily and the reward is engaging in those content. To add in something that just rewards you for logging on, would just be an unnecessary gimmick since even Yoshi himself encourages people to take a step back and play something different when you've had your fill. So it would definitely go against that mentality if they then added a daily log bonus that would make the player feel left out if they missed even one day thus having to log on at least once a day for 365 days continuously just to make sure they never miss out on something special, and yet we already have unique content like that aka events that take place, that reward people for logging on and partaking in a time based event.

It's about quality over quantity, not the other way around.

That would be awesome (not sarcastic). But I think a lot of people expect same treadmill, same gating, same cash shop, and same developers. They have probably given up that the current team has a solution to the current doldrums of 14.

I wouldn't be opposed so long as the rewards were decent and updated regularly. I just worry that it'd be stuff like tomes that...aren't worth a lot to people who may have hit the cap on any given day. If it were tied to exclusive minions, mounts and unique glamours then I would be content.

It would punish people who never log off
