SE is always SE... Rage inside... :/

[Exn]

THIS IS WHY I HAVE OPENED THIS THREAD.

Ohh, so it seems that i'm not the only one in contact with ppl that got an invitation with inactive account.

We'll i suppose that they're all trolling us. :P

I just want clarification if this is a bug, working as intended, or anything else now.

Same, just got off the phone with a friend of mine who basically quit after the first free month after launch (although he had been playing since closed Alpha, one of the first testers). He came back once about a year later and I helped PL him up a few before he was gone again, lasted about a month or two. And he just got another invite to this Alpha. So yeah, invites have nothing to do with whether or not you've been supporting/playing XIV over these past two years.. in fact it seems as if that actually hurts your chances. I guess in their eyes, they already have our support so they don't think we'll rage that much (or for too long) if they overlook us for early access to the unfinished ARR.

This sums up so well the problem with so many people here.

You're not applying for "early access" to the game, it's fine if that's your aim, but as far as I'm concerned you can gtfo if you expect sympathies from others because you weren't picked.

Alpha is for test, testing, and more testing, it's not for you to go and play.

All they have to do is to release a video in the next days with bad grass or too much jumping people, or bland sky boxes or too much bouncing dragons, and the forums will stop ragging about this.
