I'd really like a log-in bonus.

Just any sort of rewards for logging in every day.

So that people can complain on the forums every time a patch or maint (emergency or otherwise) comes along and they lose their log-in bonus chain?

[Hasrat]

Isn't that essentially what the veteran rewards are?

[Toranja]

You already get a bonus for logging in - its called having fun.

Hmm you make an excellent point. That is active even if you don't log in as long as you are subscribed though.

[SendohJin]

that and you get to do dailies + roulette bonuses.

doing a single daily gives you a materia that someone who didn't log in wouldn't have gotten.

What about...
...getting your daily treasure-map?
...doing your daily mini-cacpot?
...doing your roulettes?
...sending your retainers out for an 18 hour venture (and collecting the reward)?

I'm guessing this might be in relation to what games like FFXI has been doing for a while now. Under different circumstances, I'd say it'd be a good thing, but with XIV, there really isn't a whole lot to purchase with a special currency like log-in points. At least, nothing special that wouldn't essentially break other parts of the game or be deemed pointless fluff (like some tomes just for logging in).

If the complaints with regard to the relic grind are any indication, anything that rewards people who can play more often will elicit vocal indignation from players who don't/can't play every day. Let's not forget there are people who are shocked and offended that they can't log in once a month and fully optimize their gear in a few hours.

Besides, if you think about it there already are several systems that reward you for playing every day: GC Hunts, Centurio Hunts, Roulettes, all that nifty Ctrl+U stuff...

Well the thing about log-in bonus is sometimes it can be something fun. For example Blade and Soul's log-in bonus was kind of designed to look like a little board game and if you logged in all month you got cosmetic armor or something else cool.
