Offer Value added service
1. For crafters offer subscription for higher number of points on AH ( could work for hunter/miner too but i feel crafters need it most)
2. For LA owners provide means for them to improve events like an interface where they can add rare/very rare/uncommon loot to the pool of mobs on the LA. Charge for this service.
3. For miners charge a flat fee subscription where claims get auto drilled ( cost still charged based on device one owns and so imp will be still less charge then say mod exca)
I could go on and on.
Lots of ways in which MA can charge without changing the balance by adding Value Added Service under subscription. Whether the current state of coding will allow for it or not, I don't know so that is upto MA to decide the viability.
A total interface development of la, where u can move objects, add/remove tree, set area of spawn of a dna and range dimension, chose dna loot stardized options. could buy ur own rig and charge it with the material u want to give out on the land with the amount per h to drop. Everything charged for ped ofc.
Virtual reality, ingame voice chat, possibility of streaming video on ucg signs screens and panels, like putting ur own twitch ingame.
New animation for new items original and cool, sword can produce martial art effects as well as claws and knifes. Guns original animation belonging to the gun only, pvp rank system with points and rewards and new battle for possest of lands and assets from guilds.
Possibility to insert ur own furniture design ingame for a fee, like creating new special chair and sofas ingame thru a blueprint that u can insert in an npc and upload ur own maya template made by specific rules and with limitation.
Possibility to buy a private rooms where u can invite ur friends and decorate them with ingane items with trade restrictions and with custom design that maybe do not rely on mindark servers but on ur own, that would enlight band from ma server and allow the possobility or more players ingame so big advertisement.
New platform, new ships, custom made ships, possibility to build at an insane cost of resources ur own privateer or equus or mothership or maybe a movable spacial service station. A couple more very annoying space mobs.
