What troubles me most about this is that it will undoubtedly be an effective motivator to get people logging in and undocking. There will be more people in space, and the PCU will increase. But not because this is a good mechanics that adds depth and complexity to the overall gameplay. It's only an effective motivator because it blatantly takes advantage of something deeply rooted in our psychology.
And even worse is that this is no secret. This is exactly why similar mechanics are used in other MMOs. Because it just works.
I won't deny that more people undocked and in space is a good thing. But does it have to come at the cost of considering why they're undocked and in space? If the only reason they're undocked and in space is because they're doing what CCP tells them they should do, at a regular interval as determined by CCP, then this mechanic goes against everything that the sandbox is about, and it diminishes the free-form player agency that EVE prides itself on.
CCP, I don't want to feel like I'm being taken advantage of when I log into your game. I know you're going to implement this anyway, despite the backlash from the community, but still I feel compelled to plead that you to reconsider.

Since I'm pretty convinced CCP is going to implement this despite the negative feedback, I have to vehemently request that it be made opt-out. Not just opt-out while it's in beta/testing phase, but opt-out in its entirety.
I want to be able to opt-out of ever receiving any kind of reward for doing any kind of "daily opportunity". Because I don't want any internal metrics to indicate that I somehow endorse this mechanic, simply because I killed a belt rat on a whim and inadvertently received some SP.
Because I know that once this hits TQ, there will be a notable increase in NPC kills. And CCP will take that to mean that people love doing dailies, and so they will divert their limited development resources accordingly. The emergent gameplay of the sandbox will suffer as CCP shifts focus on more ways to encourage players to grind for SP.
Save the themepark nonsense for Nova, or even Valkyrie, where it would make more sense.
I will gladly take the hit in SP if it means I can have a way of showing CCP definitively that I do not want dailies affecting the sandbox.

I am not playing this game for daily rewards, i don't want to contribute to the success metric of that feature. If i kill a rat i would have killed it with or without this daily mission. Please add a option to opt out just like with the opportunities, thanks.
I second this. Please give us the ability to opt-out. I don't want to inadvertently contribute to the metrics gathered from this, and I really don't want the UI reminding me to complete a task every day.
