how about provoking him to try the alpha? and make him eat his words?

Tobyx you are REALLY misunderstanding something.
Alpha is not the place for advertising because the game is vastly incomplete and clearly broken and only certain base aspects are being tested. Whoever sees an alpha build will have nothing but bad things to talk about it.

Alpha is not complete. Alpha is a chore. The reason there is an NDA on alpha material is because it gives off the wrong image for the game. Alpha is purely technical. It's not an advertisement product. The reason we don't see gameplay in the Alpha videos is because it's not working the way it'll work in the final product.

Chill

Considering how bad 1.0 alpha was (I seriously can't put into words how awful it was), and how smooth 2.0 alpha is going, I'd say yes they can. specially if a bunch of the testers quit before the huge overhauls. As current players we may not be wow'ed in the same way, but still! lol

Just wait for the next phase, am sure they're gonna choose many current players by then.

I'm complete getting it. Read your reply again and now tell me how it makes sense to divulge this "alpha" to people who have long abandoned FFXIV instead of people who will really test this to the core and be happy about anything, even if it has no content.

It's all about priorities. Not entitlement.

SE wants the people that quit to come back, its them NOT us that will give this game the boost it needs for 2.0.

Invite those for a beta, not the alpha.
