[Reminder] Are you ready to cry again? (2° Wave of Alpha invites tomorrow, 3 dec.)

[Abriael]

You been saying the same thing " Oh, Non-actives are getting in!" Just in a more longwided post ever since Alpha started here in NA. I'm sorry but you are spamming.

Looking inwardly would do you good, considering that you've been saying the same things over and over since the alpha started as well, and actually with an higher frequency than I do.

This, of course, without mentioning all those that do nothing else than posting motivated pictures with just another variation of "u mad!" because they have really nothing to contribute to the debate.

If anything what SE has been doing is smart they have sent Alpha invites to a lot of popular mmo players on twitch t.v who gets like 5-20k views per day and those guys have been talking fondly of the game.

Too bad that inviting those few people (the input of which is very debatable this early, as it'll be well forgotten by when it's time to buy the game, in addition to being an open invitation to break the NDA) doesn't conflict in any way with inviting those that actually support the game.

Criticism is fine, but remember, you are only criticising as far as your opinion of how things should be. SE, I'm sure, has their reasons for how they handled alpha. I, too, am disappointed for not getting into alpha. But to tell you the truth, whether or not they allow a few loyalists in to test a game's alpha mode doesn't really say that SE doesn't value the opinions of their customers. Some loyalists did get in. Also, some people who haven't been there as long as us got in. We simply weren't amongst the chosen few. It can be a bitter pill to take, but like I said before, I'm sure SE has their reasons. This isn't their first ball game, after all. Anyway, I'm sure those who got in are providing some good feedback (some of them, at least). And our feedback can come later.

I'm sure they have their reason. Just as much as they had their reasons to release FFXIV the way they did. This doesn't and shouldn't prevent me or anyone else from telling them "hey, SE, your reasons and priorities are all over the place".

The fact that they didn't invite all their most loyal supporter, does, in my opinion, show that they don't value their feedback enough. Other companies manage to do so, so it's possible. They just chose not to, and that's the problem.
