Personally, I'm strongly against re-obtaining past holiday items. Sure I'd like to be able to get the Scythe I missed out on when I was like, 10. I didn't think I'd still be playing today way back then and didn't really log in everyday. However, I did get the bunny ears, which I'm very proud of and would be pretty upset if it lost it's rarity. So even though I'd like some items myself, I could imagine how those who have said items would feel if I was able to get them, since I myself have an item a lot of people want as well.
I'm not trying to be an asshole and I certainty don't have every single item that I just want to hoard to myself, but there are so few items that are rare left in runescape and I'd like them to stay rare even if it means I'll never get them. Plus as others have mentioned since I made my account in 2001 I have access to all veteran capes as they come out, but that doesn't mean I've been playing since 2001, I've quit multiple times so having the ears makes me feel more special than having those capes.
I would however be okay if Jagex decided to give past holiday items to contest winners in rare occasions, for example: If there was some kind of annual art contest, the first place winner could choose one non-tradable holiday item he/she wishes as a reward. They'd have to show an amazing amount of skill in order to win, so I feel if all they ever wanted was ears then they deserve it. Just don't be giving them out like candy to every lvl 3 who walks off tutorial island is all I'm asking lol, pls.
