How about daily login rewards in Stormblood?

This game doesn't need to turn into one of those mobile games. Please, oh god no. We all pay a monthly subscription, so why does there have to be an incentive to play everyday?

You mean mobile games like the 15 year old MMORPG called FF XI?

yeah but was this a thing before the game was dead?

It doesn't have to be an incentive it's just a bonus in no way does this mean FFXIV will be like a mobile game.
if hypothetically XIV takes on XI's reward system replacing veteran rewards it'll just be giving players points to put towards items as a way of saying "thanks for supporting the game"

You're freaking out over nothing.

I've played FFXI for the first 3 expansions after RoZ and there wasn't a daily login bonus. That was of course, when the game was populated and didn't need these incentives. Daily log in bonuses make absolutely no sense for a monthly service. If you want to feel special for logging in every day, do Expert Roulette.

And why do you assume I'm freaking out? Is it because I disagree with this silly idea? Or would you rather me just say "no" and offer no reasoning behind my objection?

feel special

Now you're just being condescending, tomes are for armour.
a few login points is the most harmless thing ever to put towards fun stuff like mounts or minions, the jump potion and cash shop will do more harm than this.
It's not an incentive to log on, it's just "there" as a bonus.

Now you're just being condescending.

While he could certainly have toned that a lot better I'll admit, I agree with his general point. I believe the bonuses should be more tailored towards running content, as a bonus for helping other players out with their dungeons queues and stuff (Mentor Roulette notwithstanding, that should have no rewards and be just for people who want to help, but that's a different topic entirely), whereas by logging in, I don't feel as though you're contributing to the overall livelihood of the game, whereas by taking active part in the content, you are.

Yea, tomes are for armor that everyone has access to that pays a monthly sub. Creating a daily log in bonus just alienates the very same people who don't play everyday who pay the same monthly service.
