As much as I want to be in Beta, to be honest I think it would be nice to have random players into the beta...new people who will have the chance to experience the game fresh, and tell their friends (who more than likely: a. never heard of ffxiv or b. Lost all interest after launch)

I think, in a way, it will help with that advertising the game some people here on the forums were going on about.

Don't get me wrong, I really want to be in beta. And I am a legacy player, but I'm also trying to see this game succeed by any means necessary through the efforts of not only the game dev's, but the player base as well. And we need as many people experiencing this game as possible to help get it out of the hole it's currently in.

We current players already know most of the improvements that are coming for us. While people who don't keep up with this game know next to nothing, and probably wont bother without hands-on gamplay. That's why I feel it would help.
