Mystery Skin Fail

Ok so, I've been a loyal player of League of Legends since release. I own every champion and all but 3 of the currently available skins. I can't even fathom how much my account is worth. I go to the store this morning and I use the Mystery Skin option and it tells me that I can't use it unless I have 10 available skins. So what the hell Riot? I've literally pumped thousands of dollars into your company over the years, and you screw me out of being able to random skins that I missed out on because I don't play ranked, didn't play the beta, didn't go to PAX events...why? Why is there an arbitrary limit here? Shouldn't I be afforded this opportunity considering how much I've contributed to the success of your company?

Mystery skins have worked like that since they were first released into the game;
Riot didn't force you give money to them, they won't and shouldn't treat you differently from the other players just because you paid more, this is a free game;
You realize that millions of players play this game, right? Even if you paid ten thousand dollars to them in the form of RP doesn't mean at all you contributed to the success of the company;
You can't even get PAX or other limited edition skins from the mystery box, so if this is on what your complaint is based then your point is pretty much null.

I posted this to get Riot's attention to my problem, and try to get it fixed, not fish for your approval. Your opinion is not sought.

EDIT: Oh and BTW, you are wrong. I got PAX Nasus from the last mystery box event.

It kind of defeats the purpose of the mystery box event if you only have three skins you can purchase from the store. You know it's going to be one of the three, so why not just drop the money to buy them anyway? It seems like you're alright with shelling it out to get everything else.

The limit of having at least ten skins that you have to have for the Mystery Box event makes sense. Otherwise ... where's the mystery?
