No, that's how you see it. It's a bonus/reward for people making the effort to come to the event SE made for them. Most people who want to go wouldn't care if it was given or not. But it's something SE wants to give those people for going, something they want them to have to "commemorate" that they went, for when they continue to play SE's game. Does it suck that not everyone will get it? In some ways sure, but not completely.

A question was asked earlier in the thread about if there are people who would go JUST for the digital item, and yes there are. Not myself, I'd go just to go, but there are people who would go just for that one exclusive item. I've talked to people who've admitted it too.
