Will this finally shut me off? Child please.. I wasn't even talking to you. Moving on from your fail of a post..

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.

So basically, you know a guy, who knows some guys, who saw what some guys posted about what some other guys posted about getting into alpha?

lol Look, you don't realy know the ratio of what kinds of people got into alpha. You couldn't possibly. So just chillax. You'll get to play soon enough.

You claim they went against their rules of selection when you don't know what they are, as they have not released their rules for selection and stated that they will not answer any questions pertaining to their rules of selection.

What criteria of selection that they established and stated will not divulge did they violate?

I'm talking about the VERY FIRST requirement stated on the alpha test application site. It has been linked now too many times.

I'm simply pointing out that SE changed their minds by admitting non-active accounts. Heck, those people would have realized they weren't eligible just by reading the disclaimer, but applied regardless (well played gentleman).

inviting ppl who quit or have no genuine intrest in the game is lame doing this could have further delayed the game because most those ppl have short play time windows like otheer gamss or just dont care silly SE...

Nope, totally independent of the selection process. The website managed which accounts were and were not able to start applying, demonstrated here:

Weird because It would not let me apply to the alpha the first time because my FFXIV account was inactive(I had played before but stopped playing). I then repaid for the service and then was able to send in an application to the alpha, weird.

i would figure it was just random
legacy or not, but i guess the question is did they include people that have not played since before YP took charge
only one that can answer this question is well SE (most likely will not say) logic stand point why would they include people that really drop the game like a back of shit?

but what do i know i am just some random guy
GL to you who got in and those that didn't round 2 wil be soon

And people still wonder why the official forums are mocked? Good lord. It'd be amazing to see one day without a community meltdown. It's getting to the point where people are imagining conspiracies of why they were not picked up.

To the people that weren't picked up, fill your time with whatever you had planned to do until you were picked up, and to those who were picked up, please work your best to ensure 2.0 is a success.

Why don`t SE just invite everyone? xD And test the servers right away. xD
That would be interesting.

"Testing". This is about testing, not playing. Thanks for showing what your true intent is though. I'm not claiming to know the ratio, just posting my opinion based on the evidence I've seen (and this is "seen", not heard of thru a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend like you tried to imply..).

As a matter of FACT, that ratio you mentioned is exactly what alot of the testers are trying their best to figure out for themselves right now, but you wouldn't know that because you can't 'see' anything.. you just heard sumthing from some guy, who knows some guy, etc....
