Legacy members. I do believe they'll want as many people that haven't played XIV as possible because they'll in turn tell their friends that it's a good game if the beta isn't horribly broken and pretty much guaranteed to come at least a 1/4th close to XI's success rather than complete failure.
um, i think you misunderstand the reason for betas too

its still a test period, not an advertising period where you show people how good your game is

they need a wide variety of people in game testing out to make sure everything works, that different systems can handle different things and so on

sure you get to show people stuff too, but thats not the main point of it all, its to make sure a game is ready for launch and WORKS.
