Didn't get an Alpha Invite? Cheer up!

The tough people to impress are the one week quitters. Because those people are biased towards FFxiv and would have never given it a second chance. SE knows if they can impress them then they have won the day.

While this may be true, if you worked for SE and wanted to make sure you impressed these people to come back, would you give them priority to participate in the Alpha with all the lacking features an Alpha will inevitably have?

...and yes, I am a little bitter, mostly because I suspect Alpha testers will get first dibs on participating in Beta.

you had to of signed up to participate in Alpha >.> why don't you blame people registering and not the company for accepting them?

I'm not blaming anyone, just pointing out that the argument that those that quit early should get access to Alpha ahead of those that played 1.xx for a long time seems flawed to me.
