Only who had an active FFXIV account was supposed to get the invitation right?

Now tell me dear SE, for the love of god WHY???

It was a kind of application site bug? If this was wanted? Just need clarification about this.
If there are about 800 slots available, and they vary the invites even a little, it would be obvious that some people that didn't play much would get an invite. These people would probably also be more likely to break the NDA and start telling everyone. Until you know how many were invited, and the proportion of players that were hardcore to 'quitters,' any response or insight into how they are doing things is based on nothing real. XD

So far i have seen posts in a few threads ... only about 4-5 people say they knew someone or a few people that got invites that didn't play much during 1.0. So that is about 10-15 people out of how many invites that went out? (200?, 400?, 800?) ... Just think about all the hardcore players that got in that you didn't know on your server or other servers that actually got in, and are smart enough not to risk losing their alpha accounts by breaking the NDA and telling everyone.
