I actually do believe EA would let most of the limited items come back again for a limited time. After all, they are in this to make money, and new players is where most of the potential future income lies. The long term players have already bought alot, and will probably continue playing, given what they have already spent. So that's the biggest incentive for making new content.
Letting older limited items reappear is huge potential for making alot of money on the new players. I mean the items are already made, it's an easy task making them reappear for a new limited period, and reap the fruits from all the new players wanting them while they are available. Basic economics, make a demand for something, hold it off until you finally "produce" it once more, and reap the cash as those who have demanded it eagerly spend loads of money on it. Then take it away once more, and create a new demand. After all, that's why some items are limited in the first place...
And they DO reward long-term players, because you have gotten some of these items for free... I don't know why you would complain about them getting available once more, it's not like you loose anything else than the pride of having something others don't... Even if you got it for free, and another player have to pay for it. Of all the dumb things one can complain about, letting others have the chance to buy something you got for free, isn't actually worth it...
