Maybe with it no longer being the holiday weekend, we could get some input from devs? I'm just looking for insight on whether or not daily rewards are changing from what they currently are or if they are being added to with the Wizard's Vault.

I suppose the idea here is what would they be fixing by removing the daily login rewards as they currently are? The way the daily login rewards generates someone gold is through selling the mats. There is no raw gold given through daily logins. So the current rendition of daily logins simply creates an influx of supply, making everyone's gold effectively worth more. What's an easy way to make raw gold right now? Actually playing and doing the dailies and weeklies. Removing the current daily login rewards would crush the supply of mats that we currently have which would end up hurting new players who don't have plenty of gold to spare. Furthermore, it would drop sales of GW2 expansions being that that is, currently, the only way to "easily" get multiple accounts which receive daily login rewards. Lower sales, lower new player retention rate due to the cost of mats going up; it doesn't seem like the logical call to make. Being that this change could potentially affect sales/player retention, it'd be really nice if we could get some input from Devs.

Title pretty much explains it all: are daily login rewards going away in Secret of the Obscure? I know some people think that they are, but I don't really see why they would. I've heard the argument that it's pay-to-win to have multiple accounts for the daily login, but we can literally buy gems that directly convert to gold. At this moment, assuming you were to purchase just the HoT and PoF bundle on sale, it takes about 10 months of logging in daily to get the same amount of gold as just buying the gems and converting them. I don't know, seems pointless to remove them. If an ANet dev could confirm whether or not they are going away, that'd be appreciated and also open this for a more interesting discussion.
