Global Alpha Test Start Date

[SkyeWindbinder]

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?

Yeah yeah, you're just "ticked off" in a calm way. Well actually, you only said "ticked" because you're "tickeld pink". lol You're the calm version of "ticked off". Yeah, whatever.

Only it isn't.?

Only to those in denial. lol

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

"Rare issue"? Dude, try reading the forums sometime. It will definately bring you up to speed. lol

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.

But feeling entitled to rewards for some reason you yourself made up in your own head is. And when you whine when you don't get it, you're a whiner. And a crybaby.

You're in no position to insult them. Mind you, as per forum rules, you're in no position to insult *anyone*.

There's a difference between "insulting someone" and pointing out the truth. People crying over not getting something no one at SE said they were entitled to anyway are being whiners and crybabies. (shrug)

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

LOl As is your obvious inability to get the point before it sails way over your head. (and it's getting funnier as well) My point is, it's wise to keep things in perspective. A mistake by a company can be devastating. But if it's not, it's best to deal with it in such a matter. You keep bringing up what "might" happen or what "could" happen, and no one disputes that serious mistakes can be made, and can be damaging. My point is, SE's blunder is not as serious as you are pretending it is.

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.

And companies that blow a blunder out of proportion and deal with it accordingly waste time when they could be focusing on something more important. Which is just as potentially devestating.

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

Different situation. The game was atrocious when it first came out. We're talking about misinformation about alpha testing invites. Which isn't a big deal. Really, it's not. lol

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

Actually, I'm minimizng "this" problem. Most everyone else is as well. Because, well, it's not a big deal.

I believe you should review the forum rules. Insulting people is not kosher, no matter how much you think that those terms applying to them entitles you to break the rules.

People are being whiny crybabies. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, I'm calling it a duck. (shrug) Deal with it. lol
