SE is always SE... Rage inside... :/

[Nix]

LOL! I don't know what makes you think it's random... but it seems pretty obvious that it wasn't.

Heck, SE could have made it alot easier by saying that it'll be based on RNG, but they knew it would be too obvious after the invites went out that it wasn't a 'random' thing. I have not heard of a single Legacy player getting an invite, and if ther are some, I'm assuming it's based on working the past Alpha for the 1.0 client. I've been doing mah research, this wasn't random!! Although yes, some people should prolly calm it down abit.

They're NOT ALLOWED to tell you they've gotten into the alpha @_@.

Quick edit, copypasta-ing from another post in another thread(far far away...) I made earlier today on the same subject:

Here's the /entire/ NDA:
http://support.na.square-enix.com/ru...a=1&tag=tester

We already established this Nix. That was me you were having that convo with LOL. They can say whether or not they got an invitation, just not if they accepted the invitation..

Aside from that I was asking if anyone HEARD of any Legacy players getting in... we all have heard of plenty of not-so-actives getting in (and I said I personally know of 2 not-so-actives myself earlier). A Legacy player doesn't have to come to the forums to announce it (most people would call it phone-a-friend).. I just think we should have heard of more (or any) Legacy players getting invites if it was in fact "random". That is why I don't believe it was random, well that and SE said they didnt want to divulge their methodology (if it was completely random I think they would have just said that.. hard to realistically blame them for a RNG).

3 of my friends that gets in is legacy, 2 being active players and 1 haven't play for few months but still paying for the account.

Will this finally shut you off? unlike Dragonheart's friends that only posts at facebook claiming they got into alpha which even my mom could do, my friends actually showed me the picture of client downloading and alpha forum outlook.

AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH, I've found out a friend of mine who has Legacy did get an invite (again, got a copy of the email). He wasn't active and just paying for the account while not playing, in order to Legacy. He also went into abit more detail of what the population looks like from the tester forums and he noticed quite a few people claiming they have Legacy. So as I said before I don't think Legacy has anything to do with it, seems like they were mostly focused on the not-so-active players.

I find it oddly funny that NA players care more about the game than JP.........

English community cares more about getting in than testing.

If by care you mean "want to play it so badly", yes. JP however, if you even look at the lodestone front page, are the more active XIV patrons..the grand majority of blogs you see are Japanese lol.

The testing phase will end very quickly. This has been confirmed. Alpha will be over before the end of the year. I'm sure people will get over it.

But instead of making fun, maybe the JP should feel moved. After all, we're all in it for the same goal. People making fun of those disappointed have no reason to feel superior any more than people who are raging over not getting in have reason to be angry.

I think the difference here is, raging you didn't get in or being overly excited for stress testing is something you can really poke fun at because that pretty much guarantees most sent an app just to play the game. It's not "superior", it's making fun of how strong the reactions of love/hate has been over simple testing.

How often did you get to the point of pissing your pants in excitement for tests in school compared to going on a field trip?

Of course, your feelings of superiority allow to make such presumptions on people's motivations. Even you should understand that game testing is actually qualifiable as fun as you are actually testing a game.

And in this case, it's testing a game that they obviously really like.

You have no reason to poke fun at anyone, Elexia.
