Only afterwards application was opened to everyone, without any change in the "active account" clause.

So no. "active" account doesn't mean what you think it means. It means what it means everywhere else in the industry, which is paying and able to play.
Hmmm...

On one side, we have what Square-Enix said on their page.

On the other side, we have a person who is upset at how "unfair" a lottery system is.

Sorry bro, but I'm going to still go with what I said before. Tell yourself whatever you need to in order to stay at maximum mad at all times. That's the perfect attitude for someone to have that should be testing a video game to make it the best it can be. Hopefully you're next in line to get an invite, then rant about how bad it is.
