Didn't get an Alpha Invite? Cheer up!

Only, in this case there are rather strong elements that could make them more justified than usual.

I feel the other pluses for Legacy accounts more than make up for it.
But that's just me. I can't speak for everyone.

That's a rather separate issue and doesn't justify placing a rule and then breaking it (if the allegations are true, and if they aren't, all they have to do is denyong them). Also, not everyone that has an active account has legacy status. People tend to confuse the two things as one and the same, but they aren't.

I thought it was clear that legacy members wouldn't get special treatment for alpha pick. No rule broken. Heck it's practically spelled out in the Alpha signup section.

And if you don't have a legacy account (and don't take this the wrong way if this is the case for any of you) how much say do you have when you complain you weren't chosen above someone who quit long ago? Both types 'abandoned' this game when the subscriptions started up for long enough that they missed the opportunity.

It's also spelled out in the alpha testing application that only those with an active account are eligible to apply.

Which is exactly the issue you seem to be missing.

A lot of say. Those that came back definitely have shown more interest and dedication in the game than those that left and never came back. It's a rather ironclad equation.

Which meh bleh bleeeeeeeeh.

Yep. There it is.

Yep. There it is.

So is SEs definition of an active Final Fantasy XIV account someone who at any time bought a copy of FFXIV and registered it on their account. Doesn't matter how long they played it or were currently playing it when they signed up for Alpha?

I guess it's technically still active. But if they din't play, Square will ask for more to play so I'm not really concerned about it.
