In the news posts for some of the older events they clearly state that rewards are obtained by completing the event. In so many words that would be equal to one-time-release-only, because the events themselfs are not returning. In many other MMOs an identical system is used. They release an event, add a handfull of rewards to them, and if you complete it you get the rewards. If you don't or not on time. Well tough luck better luck next time. For the older rewards RS3 has so far followed this formula fairly well, with small exceptions here and there. It really isn't all that strange that new players can't have everything. It's the very nature of a game being alive. Loads of games have rare or limited items. That's just how it works.
Yeah, plus there was the written jmod quote that IIRC was Turksta who pointed out a couple of times in different threads like this, not to mention that Jagex has made it clear several times verbally that they don't intend to bring them back. Any player who has played this game long enough would know that already, and ironically, they know that because things like the discontinued holiday items encouraged them to stay around by rewarding their loyalty. > )
With the recent polls on discontinued items to OSRS, Jagex probably has also realized that a lot more players would complete the yearly holiday events, if they offered rewards that you won't be able to get again thereafter. Because so far, you've simply been able to sleep through them and still get everything by completing the next event (which then runs the risk of that same thing happening again in a loop, unless Jagex goes and breaks the loop via this).
