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

he never played XIV

When was it that we decided how SE should choose it's Alpha members? I don't believe we'd be dumb enough to think they're picking people all willy nilly, who's selection would end up being detrimental to them. But I do believe we may just be selfish enough to care more about what benefits us over them, all while claiming the people who were selected are inferior to us, based solely on that fact that they aren't us.

Only reason I brought that up was under FFXIV Alpha tester requirements we got this

Application Requirements
- Must currently have an active FINAL FANTASY XIV account
- Must be at least 18 years of age
- Must be willing to participate actively and submit bug reports in at least one of the following languages: Japanese, English, French, German
- Must have a PC that meets the minimum system requirements of the game

But like I mentioned in the follow up post after checking with my wife apparently he did have an account he did activate the 1st month when the game came out and quit right after... so he does meet the requirements.

It probably is actually willy nilly lol

Unless they invited a very small number of people you can probably thank the RNG gods.
