Member Bonus Problems

One of the things being a member does is allow you to access "Member Bonuses" that give you small boosts, like double pet XP or better luck at fishing. One problem I have with the system is that there is nothing in game telling me what the current bonus is. I can see it when I'm doing the activity affected by it, and I might notice when the news is scrolling by while waiting for the game to load, but if I don't notice that and the bonus happens to be "Free Second Chance Chest" or something else I normally don't check, I might not even realize that the bonus exists. Perhaps there should be a small thing you can scroll over, showing what the current Member Bonus is, that you can choose to turn off. If the bonus happens to be something I don't normally do, but I would with the bonus up, I can see that the buff is active and go and do that activity. This could also advertise to non-members that you get the boost as a member, tempting them to then become a member. I know that I was unaware of it until I happened to see that I got more Pet XP than I should have, so perhaps other people just don't know.

This is a great point! More awareness of what you can achieve would certainly be nice.

I'm sending this idea to the team to consider.
