Why do so many gold members feel entitled to every little cosmetic promotion they release? The terms of gold membership were perfectly clear. You got the majority of all the old promotion items, extra spins, runecoins, and early access on betas.
I understand it's frustrating that Jagex runs most of these on the base of buying more membership (on top of the year you already have), but they're running these essentially the same way they did before. Pay up early if you want the items immediately, or wait for (presumably) next year's gold package and get it all at once.
I suppose one solution would be a package that includes the coming year's promotions, but that starts to enter sketchy territory. Jagex wouldn't have all their promotions lined up at the very beginning of the year, so the exact benefits would be unclear. Doesn't sell well, and they end up with frustated customers that route too.
