Take a moment to think. The reason CCP is implementing this feature is to encourage people to login. They know that the dailies for a large number of people have a psychological effect in which people feel compelled to login for the reward. If the reward isn't great enough then they will just increase it until enough people feel compelled to login until they meet their target.
Now go back and have a think about why it is stupid to tell people to HTFU and that they don't need to login when that is the whole purpose of these daily quests. Maybe you should also take some time for consideration.
Yes, some people will login for the reward, and obviously that is the point. What you're suggesting on the other hand is that CCP is just pants on head with the whole thing and will work to make it as close to compulsory as they can without actually taking SP away for not participating.
Further, it's probably not a good idea to encourage more rampant high level SP generation now that SP is a commodity. You wind up shooting your SP farming customers in the foot by devaluing their product, which jeopardizes that sub/PLEX revenue.
They also don't want it to be too good because they actually don't want just logins. That's the part people miss. They want people to log in yes, but they want them to stay and play more than just the time required to do the daily. They want more people doing more things online. That's what login incentives are for: come for the incentive, stay since you already bothered to log in and do more. Too good of incentives and you just get people cycling accounts for via routine which doesn't increase the likely hood any one account stays in. Quite the opposite as moving to the next is that much more beneficial. Especially here where interaction is content.
That or, as I'm sure many probably feel, CCP is indeed completely incompetent and just looking for that unique login number and will screw over any mechanisms and players they have to to get it. |
