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

I find it funny that people complain about complainers. :P

Anyway, if you're gonna invite people to test your game wouldn't it be smart to actually invite people who would log on and uhm, test your game?

I'm not losing sleep over not getting an invite but seeing people say "I got an invite but I'm not gonna log on" kinda does annoy you.

Why would a person actively go apply for the beta if they were planning to not log in if they got invited. It is non-sensical.

Still they seems more polite than this forums: 14 pages compared to... 47 + at last 4 or 5 other threads.

We western people look so whiny and entitled compared to them...

Well, in JA forum there is also a hot thread crying about alpha invitation.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/58419

I don't have much time to translate it, but it contains so much rages that CRep posted twice to request people to calm down. Then Yoshi-P posts at #120 to promise that he will say something about it tonight (JST time).

I actually posted the link to that earlier as a reply (nothing quoted tho) to the whole string of 'the JP aren't complaining about not getting selected and/or dont care about the game as much as we do' posts. The only thing they have less of in their forums are the 'quit your bichin' crowd, and of course less duplicate threads.

They typically have the same discussions that we have in the english forums, suggest the same things, complain about the same things, only with more discussion and less wasteful 'cry me a river' stupid posts just because one doesn't agree....

There are non-sensical people out there you know. I have seen posts like that on other forums. It's not hard to apply, you answer a few questions and press send thinking if I get invited I might try it out or not.

Quit your bitching.

[Warlock]

I'm not whining because i didn't receive the alpha invitation, but a lot of my friend that have quit the game AFTER THE FIRST MONTH FROM THE RELEASE GOT IT! And me (and others of course) supporting the game and paying for the crappy 1.0, didn't receive it.

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.

One dude =/= a lot

Which, I get the feeling, the majority of us sadly do not qualify as.
You guys are forgetting a crucial detail: Alpha testing happens during the time that the SE HQ is working, because they need to monitor data and adjust stuff on the fly, aside from that Yoshi plans on leaving the ervers on 24/7 to see if it crashes but the majority of the work is done in japanese work time.
Which, is probably a reason why a grand deal of us simply did not make it in, we're not in feasible time zones or, if we are, our options about time played or another combination of such simply do not fit the criteria.

Sigh, It's just Alpha, everyone should have know there's a chance you wouldn't have gotten in!

Idc if it was people that was active or not! I am an Active player (that paid to the very end!) and you don't see me having a tantrum fit like a toddler! Cry me a River! ( trying to hard to not put in curse words as I type because I feel like doing it! Ya'll will get your chance soon enough!

I'm assuming were all Adults here, act like adults not a 2 year olds! Damn!

[Elexia]

Honestly... people are complaining and crying about not getting in... Lets take a look...

Square-Enix's fans have been proven to be unable to say when there is a problem with one of their games, they defend it blindly even if its terrible.

Hm, nope I think you're thinking of the wrong generation or you're part of the new generation of gamers. Back in my day people gladly told Square and Enix when one of their games sucked even if the game didn't suck.
