The proposed benefits update wasn't well received. It was a mix of useless abilities ( like fletching ), cosmetics, and a +20 heart after a year. Which makes sense as they don't actually want to give VIP players a power upgrade over non-VIP players.
1) Not all VIP players care about cosmetics
2) Useless abilities like fletching are effectively gaslighting
3) Boxes of many things which consist of many choices but only one obvious choice.
Just increase the number of free DDO points per month ( say from 500 to 750 ) and be done with it.
