    Since I've been playing a lot more games cough Genshin Impact and Love Live All Stars that have daily missions or goals to complete, I was curious, how do y'all feel about them in games?

    Do you have any games you'll open up and do your dailies on every day, and how long have you been doing them? Are you the kind of person to just skip through them or do them selectively, or just ignore them altogether? How worthwhile are they to you, depending on the game?
     
    Describes the relationship as complicated. Completes daily quests in most games. Typically offers good rewards, such as premium currency or lots of resources, for the time spent. Suits a solo player unwilling to spend real money usually.

    Engages with the game longer. Dives deeper into the game and its mechanics. May become confident (or powerful) enough to assist other players.

    Considers this engagement a double-edged sword, however. Begins grinding for future goals eventually. Stretches the perceived time between updates. Becomes impatient. Backfires when new content is underwhelming or sparse. Feels unrewarded for loyalty and the time invested. Builds over time. Sours on the game permanently after enough times.
     
    I've tried to do a few games with daily tasks in them over the years, but the pacing doesn't match my temperament: I either can't be bothered and feel like I have unfinished business, or I feel like doing more but I can't without paying money, which is something I absolutely refuse to do on a free to play title. I can certainly see the appeal to these kinds of games which give you something to do every day and work towards in the long term, but these games aren't typically the kind that are designed to be completed, and having something with no end is extremely off-putting to me. If I can't get everything, what's the point? In the end it turns daily tasks into something to do just for something to do, and I have plenty of games with an actual purpose and ending to be getting on with.
