A way to solve this problem is to give players exceptions, like if they have ever won they don't have to qualify again or have X number of years of exceptions.

That may work for gold, where the money comes from the sponsors anyway, but when the money comes from my pocket, I want an equal shot to everyone else. I don't want the pros to get an edge or be seeded at different tables or be given an exemption from qualifying.

I think it's a great idea if it's performance-based. You cashed in last year's main event? You've earned a one year exemption. You've won a bracelet? 5 year exemption. You made the final table of the main event? 3 years. You won the ME? Lifetime exemption.
I think a poker tour that correctly (the PPT seems like a failure so far) modelled itself after the PGA would be a great success.
