I got baned for 6 hours because i said something that moderator didn't like it, fun thing that i said worst things before and nothing happened.

Someone has to report your posts before it usually gets a mods attention. If you said worse things before probably didn't get reported.

Wow, that is even worse...

Oh well, my thread has been deleted without any clarification. SE FTW!

Tell me about it... total BS of the highest degree.

I think it's kind of funny that the people complaining in this thread do not understand that Alpha/Beta test applications are reviewed like Job applications. None of the people Whining/Screaming/Crying about how they didn't get in will ever get in because of their behavior on these threads.

The hardworking QA Team over at SE does not want to work with a bunch of Whiny Selfish Arrogant Babies.

Anyone know if they threw out peoples app if they had family members in the same house apply? IE brothers/sisters, husbands/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend. Given that you would have the same IP they could be like this is the same guy trying to apply more then once. Cause I know a lot of people who lived together and didn't get in and they all apply.

I don't think I saw a 1 entry per household. But that would suck if it is true.

More than likely, the App selection process went like this:

Q1 - A + C = through
Q2 - B + D = through
Q3 - A + D = through

All the way through the final question.

Then, the whittled down number of applicants are reviewed based on Age, Experience, Location and PC Specs

Finally, the QA Public Testing Lead will review the Remaining Applicants eliminating people based on the way they Post, The way they Play, and their Reputation. People who have Alpha Tested for SE before will certainly have priority. People who were obnoxious in the first Alpha will be immediately excluded.

Alpha Testers are not random people thrown at a game. They are selected in a way that will maximize the effectiveness of the Desired Tests.

I can tell you that people who have alpha tested for SE before will not have priority because I was part of alpha 1 for FFXIV 1.0, so by that logic I would have been high priority for it.

I don't mean this as a Slight toward you, but when I say people from the Previous Alpha will have Priority, I mean people who the QA team specifically remember and enjoyed having in the test.

If you ever get in to an Alpha Test for a game you enjoy, make it a point to provide constructive feedback, follow directions and be personable with the QA Team(Admins).

I doubt that anyone who was in Alpha 1.xx was taken into consideration for that reason.

Actually quite a few people I believe got in that tested closed Alpha for 1.xx. The first two people who confirmed with me both were original Alpha testers for 1.xx, since like the first NA closed alpha. Neither of them stuck around to long after launch, though one reactivated his account (but did not play/login) in order to get Legacy.
