[Edit: re-reading this, it might come across a little harsh, so I want to say upfront that I'm honestly interested in having the conversation. I'm actually sorry I missed this thread back when you first posted it since I would have had a lot of thoughts back then too.]
You really shouldn't complain about...
...and then turn around and also complain about:
I don't think you have any idea how many people have never drawn any reaction from a GM character who would absolutely love to. It happens all the time that people go to someone who they think is established and ask how they get noticed.
Meanwhile, off the top of my head you got this mention, you had a different guard calling you out when Rone was captured, you've been bolted at least twice that I remember, you had a reference in the weather on the night of the election results (along with others who were also poked at), you drew a response from Malluch at a Town Hall meeting... Plus Goblyn, though she's played by a different GM, took your heart and let you eat it.
What more do you want?
If the answer is this...
...then I have to break it to you that you basically are getting them. That comment wasn't a personal attack, and I'll give you many examples from the past two years of other things that also aren't personal attacks.
I'm taking the time to do this because I want you to read through and ask yourself how you would have reacted if these things happened to you instead of others, since I'm like 99% sure that every player enjoyed these events. (The GM NPCs mentioned are Alendrial, Carenos, Dennet, Drandea, Grishom, Lheren, Naimorai, Raznel, Rodnay, Rone, and Thadston; everyone else here should be a player character.)
- Cruxophim, Deckits, Madmountan, Marijka, Rhayveign, and Xorus being targeted by Rone
- Crux losing his ability to lose magic for like a month
- A town clerk flirting with Alasatia in front of Melivn and giving out "Move Over Melivn" buttons
- Leafi going on patrol to root out snipers and getting her leg shot off
- Kayse giving Drandea a drink and Naimorai invisibly slipping poison into it
- Bekke being kidnapped and threatened by Dennet
- Leafi being kidnapped by Chaston's forces
- The half-elf black blood curse that put black veins in many of our look descriptions for like two months
- NPC townspeople walking around gossiping about "Shinann the Cursed"
- Gavrien losing his hair as a result of curing that curse (while nobody else suffered any long-lasting consequences)
- Maylan trying to help cure Bekke only to have it literally blow up in her face and kill her
- Alendrial blaming Irar for creating Raznel
- Thadston saying he should have gutted Irar so he wouldn't create Raznel
- Dennet challenging Crux, Hap, and Leafi with questions of distrust in the 2017 campaign
- Drandea repeatedly saying she didn't trust Mayor Crux
- Deckits being fined and also hanged by an unruly mob for trying to bribe the Rone jury
- Actors trying to frame Crux for torture
- Dennet's crew trying to frame Hap for murder
- Leafi and various others being kidnapped by Raznel
- Shinann being kidnapped by Dennet
- Evician being kidnapped by Grishom Stone
- Hap being tarred and feathered for attacking himself in town
- Marijka's credibility being questioned by Lheren
- Drandea calling Ysharra a cultist
- Some NPC (I forget who) joking about Xorus being a Breadlord instead of a Dreadlord
- Carenos stalking and assassinating Severine
- Rodnay blowing up Raelee's head
- Rodnay threatening to erase Maylan from the time stream if she ever plotted against him again
I'm going to leave it at that for now and go back to my question, because I do want to know the answer and then I can give a better reply from there:
Can you give some examples of what having a special moment in the story would even look like to you? Or what it would involve?
(Because tons of things do happen in the story that are more positive--I just listed "negative" ones so you see you're not being singled out--but right now I'm guessing that the kinds of things you'd want almost never happen even for established characters. But I could be wrong and don't want to assume what exactly you're imagining taking place.)

Ever since I started RPing, I always was being booted even though I was acting IC. I mean yes, I did talk about rape but for god sakes it was RP! It is funny how mention of rape is offensive, but genociding creatures is completely possible. I find it how eerie people advertise Dragonball at times, since they are basically walking Hiroshima bombs. Lets try romanticizing Rape of Nanking next time? Show Nappa stepping on babies too?
Going back in topic. I was and always was in character during the whole storyline, you know that. Yet Kenny is too insensitive to see a newcomer try to roleplay. Wintersylph and I have discussed it and she agreed to me. Certain high paying people do get special treatment instantaneously due to having Premium status. If you look at the Premium page, it says there inclusion in the storylines is one of the benefits of being Premium. You know this.
Leafiara just took a long walk off of a short pier!
