Global Alpha Test Start Date

lol Well, that's your opinion. Just as it's my opinion to find that you actually got angry at my statements (despite your denial), which was really unnecessary. But hey, perspectives vary from person to person.

It's funny that you feel entitled to think that you know what other people feel better then them. But after all you feel entitled to call them crybabies, whiners and other not so flattering adjectives, so why am I surprised?

But it is truth if it's factual. So, yeah. lol

Only it isn't. Your opinions aren't facts just because you say they are.

Except those who feel that they should automatically get in because of their veteran status. Which is not justified. As that is not what SE stated. Get it?

That's an extremely rare issue. Most people here are displeased because SE allowed in people with an inactive account.

And even those rare cases in which people think that legacy status should grant them alpha access aren't necessarily whiners or crybabies. The concept of customer loyalty being rewarded is in no way out of this world or illogical.

It's actually deeply ingrained in the basic rules of commerce, and companies use it to their advantage all the time, Square Enix included.

Whether you agree or disagree, you're in no position to insult them. Mind you, as per forum rules, you're in no position to insult *anyone*.

And you continue to ignore the fact that perspective and judgment is needed in these cases to determine whether a blinder is a serious, dangerous, red-alert one or one that can easily be handled without too much trouble. If a car has a flat tire, that is a problem. But you can still use the car if you change the flat. No need to declare the car unusable from that day forth, and no need to stand there grumbling about how disastrous things would be if the car had four flat tires or blew up or something.

Only that no one declared the car unusable. The strawman arguments and the unfitting comparisons are getting more and more tedious.

WHEN. IT. COMES.

lol. No. Planning for risk factors in advance is a crucial part of running a business. Companies that deal with problems "when they come" don't last very long.

Dealing with the problem when it comes is exactly one of the factors that got us FFXIV 1.0.

They gave wrong info about how a closed alpha was to be handled. Not really as big a deal as you would like to believe it is. Not nearly. Not even slightly. lol Companies sould always assume a degree of risk, yes. Companies should also have enough perspective to know the difference between horrible, un-fixable mistake and slight, hardly worth dwelling on blunder.

You're minimizing the problem. Tanaka did as well.

Not at all. I'm just calling crybabies and whiners crybabies and whiners. If they don't like it, maybe they should stop crying and whining. Blunt, rough, even unkind as it may be, truth often is that way.

I believe you should review the forum rules. Insulting people is not kosher, no matter how much you think that those terms apply to them. You're not entitled to break the rules.

I don't really think I can explain it in easier terms than this.
