Perhaps some Member-Only boss(es)? It could be a sweet thing to have.
Like adding Nex for example, with Torva armors and such. Anyone with the right stats could wear the new armors, but only members could try their luck beating Nex to get it. It could maybe help the economy as well.
An other idea would be to set the upcoming skills to be Member-Only, for a while at least, it'd be more worth it to be member.
Smoke demon champion, saradomin gwd, tormented demons, kalphite queen; All high level pvm content that require membership. We have a lot of this already. As far as nex goes; I'd love the boss but the armours have no place in the current game. They also have a reputation; many people dislike them.
I disagree with the idea to lower the days of the member tickets. Member tickets for 10-15 days of membership? ... Hell. As I donate for mine, I wouldn't really consider donating anymore. I feel like the current pricing is fair, sad thing is Member Tickets are tradeable, it's both a good and bad thing in my opinion. More people can get member, but they're worth less now. An idea to prevent this could be to make them untradeable, except if you pay a NPC like 5m to turn it into a tradeable member ticket, similar to bonds in RuneScape.
It would rid the game of a load of cash, but not any of the member tickets.
Member Tickets into Donator Points? I'd say no. Member/Donator Items are already tradeable, what'd be the point to change a ticket into Donator Points. Just go buy it from other players if you can't donate by yourself.
Let's say you want a specific rare and you can't find anyone selling it, not even in the GE for a very high price. You could turn your ticket into points and buy it right out of the shop. Member tickets are a lot more common than the rest of the items from the shop.
As i understand you're saying that there are too many member tickets ingame? How exactly would adding more features to members decrease that number? Also my opinion is that there aren't many regular players without membership. Therefore i think that membership is too easy and too cheap to get.
I don't disagree with adding more features tho.
More reasons to member = Potentially more people buying member = Less tickets. I think the amount of people without member isn't too great, but it's definitely not a small number. You have a point though, it's indeed easy and cheap to get.
Or how about more actual f2p content so people woulddn't quit after the first day of playing? Our player peaks have barely gone up during the past 6 months or so.
More players = more potential members
Our player peaks have gone up recently, but that doesn't have too much to do with your point. More content would indeed keep people playing, though keeping it all f2p doesn't give people more of a reason to buy a ticket and use it. If more f2p content gets added it could partially be made p2p, not to bake a cake and remove the icing of course, but you get my point.
