I can already see the controversy surrounding this idea, and I haven't even posted it yet. But here I go anyway.
I don't know what has and has not been tried in regards to rewarding players for RP and whatnot. I've heard that certain things have been tried and were met with a lot of envy, but I'm not sure how true that is-- I wasn't there. That being said, I had an idea that might be a worthwhile reward without being something just anyone could grind for anyway.
Weapon parts. Ones that have no slot specified, so they can be slotted into any slot on a weapon. They'd be created by an admin (not an eventmin, to keep things from getting out of hand), and untradable. Instead of having stats associated with them, they'd instead have a skill or spell associated with them. When slotted into a weapon you have equipped, you have access to that skill.
Of course, admins could choose to only give specific skills, like kid gloves or tekagen, or could give slightly more useful things. It'd be entirely up to them. Could even be unique things made specifically for the purpose, or skills belonging to monsters / bosses. Things like ravaging spin come to mind, from the spatial boss.
Two problems I can see myself with this are:

Two problems I can see myself with this are:
- Certain weapons (tomes in particular) don't have slots to fit these into. Maybe could be like a weapon quality item instead?
- I'm sure certain people would try to hoard as many of these as they can. Admins might want to keep a list of who has received one already. Might not be needed if it was a quality item instead of a weapon part, given you'd then only be able to use one per weapon.
