If you have any ideas to reward non-combat roleplay outside of what I've outlined, I'd love to hear it. Events, direct admin awards, & community voting are what immediately come to mind, though I've touched on that already. Some kind of mechanical mayoral / guild leader system, maybe, that helps you reach the cap based on specific guild actions. Or even direct HT rewards if you organize a player event (a tournament or festival, f.ex). I'm sure there are many things we can do.

Perhaps being rewarded in abilities that aren't meant for combat could solve the issue. Witchcraft would be a good example of this. The abilities you get aren't useful in a fight but allow you to interact with the social aspect of the game in new ways, like dreamwalking someone to bargain or influence others through a hex. These kinds of abilities don't have to only be up for witches, maybe holy magi could get auras to inspire their party, maybe mechanics could build magi-tech cameras they can access with a spell, maybe sound magi would be able to play melodies like with the instruments on ss13 servers. Social players would be rewarded for roleplaying and developing a good story, battlechads would be rewarded for fighting and risking their necks, both can be useful in helping their faction. Of course, there's the task on how players would get rewarded in a way that wouldn't cause much admin intervention but it could probably fit in a journaless Eternia with rpl requirements or slight admin approval without pouring over logs.
