Yes, they are a potential audience that SE wants to win back with the release of ARR.

Apart from that, it is a testing phase. They aren't looking for "who is worthy??" Type stuff because it is just to test out new features of the game and performance. It is not the full product.

If you think that is going to topple Square Enix's legal team go right ahead and sue, but you will delay the game.

Otherwise, it is a testing phase. They are looking for bodies, that's all.
