What I posted on other thread:

As Long as the people that are getting invited are actually "Helping" make this game the best it can be, Then I have no problem letting inactives play, as it will draw in more players this way than with people that are more or less fanatics of the game FFXIV. However, I do agree that they shouldn't put up False information up, as that is bad business practice.
It's not the end of the world, Chin up and wait for Beta Beta= More of a chance you will play
