This is why I had to go and Decorate my ****ing tree.. because this s**t is a Soap Opera.. I hate soaps -.-. ( And I don't really like decorating.. but it was the only thing available to calm down -.-.

And I'm the angry one...

And I'm the angry one...

Only, you aren't my dad, and no one is holding you at gunpoint to read what I write or to continue to antagonize those that have an issue with this.

Think... Feel..... Hear.... What you are saying these past weeks.. I'm sure the Twelve are annoyed by it by now and going to crash Dalamud again out of rage. Is all I'm saying.. I know I'm not your father, but I can say and others have said it too.. Your being a whiney brat ( as my grandma would put it) and Man wouldn't she had a doosy with you... man If I wouldn't shut up she would crack me one. She's a tough cookie she is.

She would always tell me to calm down.. think about why you are angry and shake it off. She would also would tell me, Life isn;t about Yelling, Screaming, getting what you want ( greediness), but life is about sharing Giving, the joy of having others around you. Crying over something for a month when Alpha is Clearly over is just mindblowing. We all were trying to reason with you, understand why your feeling the way you are.

I don't like False information either, but you Repeating yourself isn't going to change the fact that, they did what they did for a reason, and it did alot of good. Why can't you be just satisfied with that and move on?

Edit: I don't think you are a bad person, before all this you were always giving good posts. After Alpha came and you didn't get in ( you claim it has nothing to do with why your angry so I'll give you that one for now), I know what they said on the Application and it shouldn't have been there.. or maybe they had a different definition on what they ment by "active", They could have ment, anyone that Bought FFXIV and had it "Activated" then they would be Eligible. We don't know what they ment by what they said on the Alpha App page.

All I know is, it's over with Alpha "did" went smoothly weather you like it or not ( not sure why you would be unhappy that ARR is going smoothly but okay). I was just as upset when I didn't get an Alpha invite the first time, but I figure it's just a limited stress testing at certain times of the day and the Client could possible crash alot so I figure.. it was probably for the best.

Your a good person.. just right now your giving everyone a heartache ( I know don't read it) well, perhaps you shouldn't have typed it 1000 times :/.

because I don't agree that it did "a lot of good".

We don't know what they ment by what they said on the Alpha App page.

For the millionth time. We know what they meant because for several weeks after the opening of the application, if you tried to apply as a tester with a lapsed account, it would tell you "you don't have an active account. You can't apply" and just bounce you.

I tested it myself with my mule account. Many others did. You wouldn't even get to the page in which you answer the questions.

Is it really so very hard to understand? If we begin to "forgive and forget" when SE says something and does something else, it doesn't make for a good precedent for when ARR will be nearer to release and all the eyes of the media will be on it, or even worse, when the game will be released.

As customers, I believe it's crucial that we hold SE to its word.

I'm normally supportive like the next guy, or probably even more (some would say even too much), but is "do what you want, we'll forgive you anyway" really the signal we should be giving them now?

SE wants to build a "world class MMORPG", but the "world class" is a minefield (especially if you come to it with a product that is the successor of an arguable failure), and to do well in it, a software house needs to first and foremost communicate in a transparent and fair way with its customers.

I don't believe the "do what you want, we'll forgive you anyway" is the right signal, and that's why I criticize. It has nothing to do with whether my alpha application is accepted or not.

I missed tons of alpha tests (and early beta tests) since Ultima Online. As a matter of fact, I missed the alpha test for Final Fantasy XIV itself. I never once cared, nor I care now about missing out, besides some mild and natural disappointment.

What makes this case different is that a bad precedent in communicating with the customers is being set, and I feel that sweeping it under the rug does a favor to no one, including SE.
