Why don't TB battles have some minimal payout?

I gave this feedback in the Guild Feedback section (and somewhere in the Rewards Megathread here) with a good breakdown of daily rewards. I think the end of event rewards are okay, but they feel awful because you've been doing stuff for six days--only a little bit each day and not particularly onerous at any point, but still a while.

Giving standard rewards (gear, credits, ship credits, abilitymats, etc) at the end of each day would go a long way to making folks appreciate the end reward.
