Sorry but some of us live on the other side of the globe, and have no way to attend your cons. And this trend of rewarding people who watch streamers is a direction I really disagree with. I couldn't care less about watching some streamer, and I don't see how giving some special streamers exclusive pet codes to hand out to their favourites is a good thing for the game.

I wonder when advertisers on Twitch are going to catch on that things like drops have a lot of people "watching" streams that have no interest in doing so, so their ads are being served to people with a muted browser open on a second monitor, on a spare laptop ,etc.

For someone in Oxford, travelling to London is bad enough; Germany is probably... well it's probably less stressful, except that I'd still need to go to, through or past London first.

Not really.
As a console player we get "hey you guys can do this too in the future!"
Then it turns into "well maybe..."
Then "LOG in and get something!"
So situations like this one, makes me wonder even if such a thing is available to us.
Representatives are non-console only
Twitch rewards are non-console only
Combat metrics are non-console only
I get the feeling this is non-console only
People are making far too big a deal of this. These are prizes intended to promote their product on a specific platform or venue. This is no different than giveaways to Facebook followers, or product freebies through Twitter or Facebook, or write-in contests, or radio "listen in at whatever-o-clock for your chance to win...", or what have you.
For anyone who chooses not to watch streams, that's your choice. Part of that choice means being choosing to be ineligible for prizes offered through that platform. Again, your choice. Zeni has no obligation to offer prizes to you through another means, to reward you for refusing to participate in their promotion.
