Please add a more variety to POIs rewards

Hello.

I would like to adress the change of POIs rewards. As I have been told by a friend, who has over 900 hours on record and actively plays the new Realms rebuild update, completing POIs now gives ONLY essense as a reward. That means no matter which POIs you do, there is always the exact object in the end for you.

How does this change makes exploring POIs more exiciting? How is this change suppose to encourage people to explore them?

I have been asking about this upcoming change countless times all over the platforms ever since the update was announced, yet nobody ever replied. While the rest of the changes looks decent or great (except for the progress system), this specific change removed all of the excitement from exploring and discovering for me, and replaced it with the need to progress. And unfortunately completely, to the point that I uninstalled the game after spending over 200 hours in it.

Nevertheless, after a bit of convincing from her, I re-installed the game and gave it a try. After spending a bit over an hour in it, I have found that POIs really do give out only essense every time, and the progression system is vastly reducing the freedom you previously had in the game. So, I uninstalled it again...

Whenever you are exploring something, you want to do it whwnever you WANT, not wherenever you NEED in order to have enough essence to progress through the tree. And you want to find various loot and rewards, not the exact same thing over and over and over again. That might be good for your progress, but it takes away the enjoynment. I think games should be fun, first and foremost, not duty-to-have in order to progress.

Would it be possible to add more variety of rewards for completing the same POIs over again? And I am not talking about potions, food or stacks of wood, I am talking about something unique, which you cant get anywhere else. It doesn't have to be something you need, it could be just something fancy. It could be blueprints, dyes, freed pets, weapon engravings, feathers for your hats, small but permanent boosts, star constalations for your night skies, various decorations, skins for various building pieces (columns, doors,...). something in this type of rewards, to bring the enjoynment back.

I do not mind the wipe or character deletion, but I do not want to play an exploration game, where the only reward for exploration is money. (which is what essence is).
