Jason Jones talked ages ago about the idea of having players replay stuff over and over, like many of us did with Halo, except we'd be getting cool little rewards along the way.


Either the rewards will be something you care about, or they will not be.

If players don't care about the rewards, then it won't change their behavior, and the time implementing them is wasted.

However, if they do care, then you've made your game worse, as explained here.

The proper thing to do is to roll the rewards right into the game. Do not treat them as a separate thing with investment systems.

When you say "roll the rewards right into the game", I believe you're referring to things like the Gjallarhorn quest in RoI, and the Black Spindle mission in TTK? If so, I completely agree.
