can you ever not argue with someone draco? that post was about the presents from the sledge event not the santa's grotto promo. there hasn't been any post about it yet and i was just saying they might put something out about the promo this week. if not, it will probably be mentioned on reddit somewhere.

They're worthless imo but they look cool enough to be gifted to some of my friends who were more than happy to receive them :)

I mean people who wanted a wreath or scythe but don't care about whether or not it is OG can now get one. I think these are nice for the price they are at

Personally i wouldn't bother investing in them but i definitely have already keepsaked them :)

They shouldn't have released them like they did. Made them liars tbh. As a customer i don't like being lied to. Unlike the "rare items" made rare by the players (blue phat, red Santa, disk, pumpkin... you get it) these items are Jagex made rare items... Made to be rare. Released as limited and rare (numbered). Thats Jagex giving a word even if they don't word it like i am. They are only making themselves look dishonest.
Quick note: I support another wreath in the game. It was super limited (intentionally) and there is not another option in the game for players who don't like stuff like party hats but who specifically want a wreath like the holly, not druid or w/e. Give the noobs something to work with i agree with it! I would buy some too!

I however don't support the re-release of the same item under a new name. They could have changed its color. They could have covered it with little white and red flowers making it look redder and whiter instead of green, call it a floral wreath idk. But it DOES look like its intentionally trying to be a holly...
And get this: the holly is bugged! Mine is, I'm using one rn for holidays and when i use my OG holly keepsake it has an aura around it that becomes transparent making it look frosted. I can look straight down at my character and see through all my gear and everything where the outline of the wreath is. It gives it a "shimmer" that looks frosted if you can try to imagine that.
So, what exactly is the difference then if you don't heavily examine the item?? They re-released holly AND the scythe that was numbered at 5k. I don't like the scythe but the players who do are in the same boat. Following this logic, they will release an item called the "golden crown" that looks exactly like the golden partyhat. Just because they said it's a one-time thing. Why not lie to you (the customer) when they already are from the start?
Remember to vote with your wallets. If you like being lied to go ahead and pay them.

still no confirmation if its discontinued

Has jagex ever said anythings discontinued?

I thought the community just assumed things were?

I mean where has jagex said the OG phats are discontinued?

Plus even if these are, it still doesnt mean they cant return.

they said it about the gphat

but yeah items coming out of TH like this should be assumed to come back in the future, prob every xmas as rare items to act as carrots for people to chase with key purchases

Yes and im agreeing with you, that it'll probably happen after the holidays as jagex like to take this time off with their families.

Who lied to whom?

Where did jagex say anything about the status of these items?

Thus no one got "lied" to.

Plus whoever said these were meant to be rare?

Nothings said anywhere about that either.

Thus thats more assuming. From the looks of things these are just meant to be fun holiday items.

Edit: misread.

I do agree that re-releasing the wreath and scythe in this manner is kind of messed up for the players who thought they had collected a special item. Jagex clearly doesn't care very much about ruining a sense of value in any aspect of this game for a quick profit.

Just look the items up Draco. There isn't much you can learn about them with research but the first thing you'll learn is that. 1k wreaths. 5k scythes. If they didn't want it rare, we wouldn't be having this convo years later. Again, I'm cool with a new wreath. But what they are doing makes them look bad.
But its already done and I'm going to try getting a holly as low as 6 or even lower if i can find someone trippin lol I've seen 7.5 think about that... Someone's panic lost them billions in one trade. All because of jagex playing tricks making the new one look a little too close to the old.
