Catering rewards to potential future players is pointless and near impossible anyway

Like why can’t I log onto RuneScape right now and go “why can’t I have a party hat?” I mean they were worthless when they dropped in 2001 and now they are the most valuable items in the game

Should every person be given the option of being given a partyhat because not everyone was around in 2001? Or should if you want something but joined later than it was at its most accessible point you pay what it’s being sold for
