Now I have children who dont work so they can log on at 6am and play 24hrs a day telling me, my opinion is not valid because another game launched sometime before somewhere and sucked at it too... sure....
You're perfectly allowed that viewpoint. My problem with Velnora's post was bemoaning early access being a beta test period and I was saying there's no consequences for not getting those incentives to play during beta test.

Look I'll be playing Lost Ark when it releases and it has an early access period for people who buy a gold package. Generally because time is valuable in that game, you do get an advantage for going fast and therefore you are paying for an advantage when buying that package ... kinda. Other games do the same, games where you have an advantage reaching endgame early and therefore you are incentivised to get on as early as possible.

FFXIV isn't one of those games so to complain about a beta test period which is really 100% optional is not one of the most pressing issues the game has imo.
