    I'm guessing they're running low on testers & only have a few hundred left to send out. So they want more people to apply.

    Just because you need to have an active account to apply, doesn't mean they are only allowed to choose from active accounts. I don't know where people get that conclusion.

    Your applications put your names on a list of players that provided information in order to help SE choose testers. If they needed to test a certain graphics card, for example, they can check all of the applications. This makes your chances of getting in slightly higher. This, however, does not mean that they are restricted to that list.

    And how arrogant are people to believe that they are by obligation prioritized over others? Of course there is admiration and respect for those who stuck around, and SE can award those players for the support... but by no means are they obligated to provide you any more than they provide everyone else. Please stop being so self-entitled, guys... it's making our community seem childish. We got our Legacy rewards, dalamud horns, white raven earrings, special events, and even a free chocobo! Yet you still demand more?

    By all means, despair over not getting into alpha and celebrate when you do get in, but don't presume you know exactly how the selection process works because that is completely up to SE.

    The way I see it now is: Also make some ppl who's not really interested doing alpha to have false hope, then ruin their day.

    I am really sorry for ppl who really expecting invites. But making others who's not really hoping that much having false hopes is just plain wrong. That email in my inbox is the prove. And it's not because I can't unsubscribe.

    Sorry to say, your input is not more valid then theirs.

    Those players that quit 1.0 pre 1.20 are as valid candidates as you that played everyday until the world ended.

    Those "old" players can give feedback about the current version in ways that you will not, because they will based on their feedback to the reasons why they quit in the first place. By having those players, SE, or mainly the ARR team, can now avoid and make sure they do not repeat the same mistakes the original team made and cause the players to leave.

    You may not feel this is fair, but it is important for the current ARR team to avoid the mines the original team laid.

    If you dont have active account, you should not be able to APPLY at all.

    - if SE is letting inactive accounts to apply. they should remove "Must have an active FF XIV account" from the requirements

    -if inactive account able to apply, when it is not SE intention, they should give confirmation of this oversight.

    -if SE is inviting inactive account without having them to applying in the alpha registration page, its up to them, but be prepared that some people will objection this.

    Goodness. I can confirm you will get an error message stating you must have an active FFXIV account if you try to apply with one that isn't. To reiterate what MrKupo said, even if you can only apply with an active account, it doesn't mean nor imply that SE will only send invites to active FFXIV players. They can very well choose other players who did not apply but have played FFXIV before. As a matter of fact someone I know got an invitation but never applied. Edit: or at least they don't remember applying.

    And btw, what's your definition of "active" account? "Active" doesn't only mean something's being used, it can also mean that it's "working". I haven't played FFXI in ages and to my knowledge, my FFXI account still works even if I don't use it. I can log on, pay up and continue playing whenever I want. That doesn't sound very inactive to me. It would be inactive if I decided to delete it.
