I think it is sad it has to come to that. But I agree that if Yoshi thinks it is important enough to reply to then none of us should question it. It's his jam, he should be able to riff as he pleases.

I bet the same people bitching to get into alpha are the same ones bitching about jumping. Imagine if they got in and were asked to jump in one spot for 5 hours straight HAHAHAHAHA!!
So I read Yoshi-P's post, and came away with this impression...
"Yoshi-P's Mega Blaster Cannon of Logic hits forum rage-tear whiners perfectly, wrecking for OVER 9000 STFU Have-some-cheese-with-that-whine!" points of damage."
The only thing I wanna know about the Alpha is whether or not it's going smoothly enough to keep things on schedule. I don't need to know about what's going on in there or what sorts of content are in the game. I don't even think I want to participate in the open beta 'cause I want to be surprised. I'll be happy if people can tell me how things like input lag, character loading, etc. are looking like.
As a strong supporter of free jumping, I find your comment unpleasant as I haven't complained at all about alpha. Quite the opposite in fact. Close-mindedness is dangerous, beware.
As for the topic of this thread, I'd like to reply with an amused laugh to the people raging as they feel entitled to join the alpha.
"Hahaha!"
I think those persons missed the point of the alpha, same for those asking that their character data from alpha/beta be ported to the release of ARR.
