I have been Gold for close to 10 years now. And yes, I have had similar interactions with the crew like you described. But generally...not.
I've had the best and worst experience in this regard both on Economy AF intra european flights. Best was once when the purser came to welcome me on board, asked if I would like anything from the business class menu - some champagne perhaps - and she brought extra pillows etc.
However last week was the opposite, also on an AF flight. The purser came around and did his welcome talk to the lady next to me, the lady at the other side of the isle from me, and a guy a bit further down. Totally ignored me though.
First I thought that maybe he was only targeting Platinum members, but when we deplaned I noticed Gold tags on one of their bags. Seems AF doesn't like me anymore!
