Soliciting Ideas and Feedback - Membership Bonuses

Hello, Imperian!
Along with the new options for different lengths of memberships, the new system also allows us some more creativity in how your membership bonuses are used. We can now
- create alternative uses for Membership Credits (other than just binding them to a character). This comes in the form of a special shop where you can spend membership credits.
- create alternative passive bonuses which you can choose instead of the current stacking 5% xp bonus (up to 25%)
- create alternative daily bonuses which you can choose instead of the current 5 lessons per day
I'm looking for your ideas - what would you like to see in these three categories? What items should be for sale in the membership wares shop? What passive bonuses would you like to see? What alternative daily bonuses sound good?
Note that neither of the bonus categories should impact PVP - I don't want to widen the PK gap between subscribers and non-subscribers.
Some ideas I have right now to get your mental juices flowing:
Passive bonus: Stacking 0.5% xp per level (up to 2.5%)
Passive bonus: Stacking 1% extra gold drops (up to 5%)
Daily bonus: The ability to earn an additional daily credit per day - rather than 5 lessons, you can get 6 (or keep it as a credit), but you have to put in the work to get that extra daily tick to earn it.
On the Promotions Wares list, I have fewer ideas. As mentioned, I'd prefer not to widen the gap between free and subscribed players too much. One obvious choice is cosmetics (past promotion cosmetics, collectible items from previous events or antiquity that aren't available anymore, etc). I've also considered some limited-use promotions items (like chains), but think that may be tipping the scales too far. This is the category I'm having the most trouble with, so input is welcome!
You can discuss this with me on the forums here: https://forums.imperian.com/discussion/1128/soliciting-ideas-and-feedback-membership-bonuses/
As always, you can also send me ideas or feedback via messages or email.
