Thanks for the comment, your advice shows great understanding of the space because I've come to many of those same conclusions only after time. Indeed, I've found very few people to use custom Rewards, I may discontinue that. The in-game rewards will become more useful when Groups is developed, so you can compete your avatars. I've come to deem Habits indeed as useful mostly with APIs, and have considered manual Habit entry as temporary until enough services utilize the API, after which I may discontinue manual Habit-entry. RescueTime and Fitbit are definitely on the horizon, as well as PivotalTracker, Withings, Anki, and more (see http://goo.gl/beQtz http://goo.gl/beQtz)

I actually like having my own goals. I'm not too interested in cake but I set a bunch of monetary rewards. $10 spending money, $30, $50 etc. While obviously it cost more gold to buy $30 than $10, if I save up for $30 it doesn't cost as much gold as buying $10 x 3. This is far better motivation than just levelling up in game. It's almost like going out and buying better equipment in real life I guess. I really like my rewards that way so hopefully you don't get rid of custom rewards entirely. The store items are useful and getting to unlock them is good incentive to keep playing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of that. Keep up the good work.

  Good to know! Ok, one vote for custom store - I'll make sure to get a better feel then before making any rash decisions.

    Same here! Love the concept of own rewards! For example, your default rewards include 1 episode of Game of Thrones. Suppose I don't watch GoT (I do, but still, you understand the idea)? What then? Also, mit would be great if I could also specify the amount for each reward. I understand sometimes it may defeat the purpose, but still, IMHO that would be cool too

      you can create custom rewards and specify custom amounts. Here's a screen of these options http://goo.gl/1T3yu http://goo.gl/1T3yu
