[DEV question] Why cant we change Alpha application answers?

[Tiago]

Hello.
I'm just asking that, because i entirely bough a new PC to be able to run ARR and hopefully enter Alpha to test it out, as i already mentioned last week.
Since i had a really shizzy pc, and since i didnt lie on that current pc specifications (wish i did lie, but we learn with our mistakes...) and the alpha testers are elected also taking into consideration their computer specs, shouldnt we be able to change the current PC specs of our Alpha application anytime? Because i doubt i'll enter the Alpha with the old PC Specs (Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz, 3gb RAM, Windows 7 64b, NVIDIA GeForce 8400m GS (128 dedicated +896 shared, but i did play current XIV version on that pc, but doubtful will even be taken into consideration for an alpha invite with those machine specs that i entered on the alpha application.), so i was thinking and asking if there is or will be any way to change our Alpha application updated, because since September 2012, i'm sure alot of ppl updated computer hardware in order to play ARR smoothy or ppl that had rly old PC's (such as me) bough new pc's or hardware to improove and 'maybe' play the alpha.
Also, i'm not raging or butthurt, because i'm having alot of fun playing another mmo at the moment with some friends, but whould rly like to see and test ARR on this machine but also on my old laptop to see if it'd run good. This post is mostly for those who changed their pc's hardware to maybe be able to update it on the alpha application so they can get a better chance at an invitation, because ppl that applyed like me, totally wont be in alpha and doubtfully in the beta beginnings because they dont meet the requirements hardware~wise...
That's all for now.
Thanks for reading. Please (someone of the DEV team) reply if possible!

Because people are liars.

Because people are liars.

This! pretty much!

I really dont think that matters. Seriously who stops people from lying the first time?

I agree you should be able to change your app. and add more information to it honestly. Their computer stat checker should run on multiple computers XD - I've got 4.

Because people are liars.

Which is why serious testing applications require you to submit your dxdiag file, or even have an app that detects your hardware independently.

Also, if someone can lie now, he could lie about his hardware even when he submitted his application the first time.

You want to change your comp specs on your app because you didn't get an alpha invite? >.>

Lock this garbage.

Someone needs to learn to read.

My reading comprehension is more than adequate.

If the author of this post was really concerned about SE having their correct computer information they would have asked to update it when they originally upgraded their machine. However, the first invites of the last alpha testing stage have been sent, they did not get one, and NOW they want to update it.

That tells me that they don't care about SE having the correct information, they really care about getting an invite.

Tell me how the hell will they know when i update my computer specs unless i tell them so?
So they cant ask me for something they dont know....

What it tells you is irrelevant.

You're second guessing the motives of someone you don't know, which you're not in any position to do.

Regardless of his motives, though, it's useful for Square Enix to know exactly what specs the game will be tested on, so it makes a lot of sense for people to be able to update their specs if they update their PC.

It's that simple.

It makes sense not to be allowed to change your app.

Not sure in which point it makes sense to not be able to change your computer specifications on the Alpha Application... ppl keep changing hardware and should be able to update it there since they do pick the ppl for alpha also by considering ppl's Computer Specifications...
