How was my brother in law able to get in alpha......... orz he never played XIV and only reason he applied for alpha was because my wife told him about it and I showed him the awesome videos/images of ARR... at least give alpha's to those that have played the game so they can get good feedbacks that knows how 1.0 was... orz

No good deed goes unpunished, Reinheart.

Weird part is I thought they needed active XIV account... lol

EDIT: nvm checked again and apparently he does have account he created and played for 1st month then he stopped playing since his friends played other games.

"Testing". This is about testing, not playing. Thanks for showing what your true intent is though. I'm not claiming to know the ratio, just posting my opinion based on the evidence I've seen (and this is "seen", not heard of thru a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend like you tried to imply..).

As a matter of FACT, that ratio you mentioned is exactly what alot of the testers are trying their best to figure out for themselves right now, but you wouldn't know that because you can't 'see' anything.. you just heard sumthing from some guy, who knows some guy, etc....

Actually, if "playing" was my true intent, I'd be crying about it like you and a bunch of other people on the forums are doing. But seeing as how I'm more anxious to play the actual game when it's finished than I am to test (or play) a bugged version of alpha, I have nothing to QQ about. It seems you are the one really anxious to play, which is exactly why I used that word. To tell you that you will get to play the game soon enough.

As for this "evidence" you've seen, if you can't provide links or any other kind of proof of it, I'm just gonna call shenanigans and say you're just QQing that you're not in alpha. Just cool your jets, man. As I said before, you'll get to play soon enough.

What's sad is that i did the registration for Alpha while i had a shizzy pc, Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz + Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS (128 dedicated and 768 shared with RAM + 3GB RAM.... last friday i bough a PC thinking i was going to enter Alpha to test if my PC can run it smoothy and wasnt picked for it :\
Just hope i get in soon so i can test my new machine :/

Right.. so show me a post where I'm crying about playing... I'm currently playing XI and GW2, I don't have time to play another MMO rite now ('test' is another story however..especially an Alpha). So no, I never once was 'crying' about anything.. in fact if you actually read my posts you'd see I said that some of these people need to calm it down abit.

And that last bit about posting links... are you serious?? **SEE NDA (or have you completly missed the whole NDA thing..)** Come on man.. do better.

he never played XIV

When was it that we decided how SE should choose it's Alpha members? I don't believe we'd be dumb enough to think they're picking people all willy nilly, who's selection would end up being detrimental to them. But I do believe we may just be selfish enough to care more about what benefits us over them, all while claiming the people who were selected are inferior to us, based solely on that fact that they aren't us.

No one here in entitled to anything. This is a confined alpha test with bugs, and no data progression. Everything they do character wise is meaningless and subject to change. I have friends who have been with the game day one and got in, but I didn't. This community is beyond pathetic sometimes. Crying over every little thing, and feeling like SE is always giving people the bird. To be honest i'm glad people who are crying didn't get in. They most likely would have been a WORTHLESS tester.


They need alpha testers that have different perspectives. They need people who haven't kissed their asses and gave them a free pass when they destroyed the game the first time.

^^ no i didnt say im entitle im just venting a little bit and being a duce...but i guess your right maybe i am worthless because you seem to know me really well. i guess you are entitled to crying about me venting myself. anyway i just wanted to be apart of ARR and share my input and feedback...just my little 2 cent might help the game run smooth.
How do you know they will be worthless? where did you get that from? what data? please dont say oh...wait look at FF14 1.0. i think i read a lot about that already. have you been in an Alpha test before? are u worthless? you like anything?...dont say it i might just say ....dont kiss arse too.

Yeah yeah, you backpedal like a champ. lol

And of course oyu can't provide any links or anything, because of the NDA. All you have to go on is "he said, she said". Just give it a rest, man. You will get to play. Chill.

Only reason I brought that up was under FFXIV Alpha tester requirements we got this

http://entry.ffxiv.com/alpha/index_na.html

Application Requirements
- Must currently have an active FINAL FANTASY XIV account
- Must be at least 18 years of age
- Must be willing to participate actively and submit bug reports in at least one of the following languages: Japanese, English, French, German
- Must have a PC that meets the minimum system requirements of the game

But like I mentioned in the follow up post after checking with my wife apparently he did have an account he did activate the 1st month when the game came out and quit right after... so he does meet the requirements.
