They can very well choose other players who did not apply but have played FFXIV before. As a matter of fact someone I know got an invitation but never applied. Edit: or at least they don't remember applying.

And btw, what's your definition of "active" account? "Active" doesn't only mean something's being used, it can also mean that it's "working". I haven't played FFXI in ages and to my knowledge, my FFXI account still works even if I don't use it. I can log on, pay up and continue playing whenever I want. That doesn't sound very inactive to me. It would be inactive if I decided to delete it.
hmmm?? if they didnt apply, then it confirms that SE did blind invite.lol.. if they did apply, Im fine with it, but are you sure they do it with active FF XIV account?

this is not matter of who deserve who isnt. But consistency of the system.

But I give benefit of doubt to SE, because they KNOWN as not-so-good company at managing accounts. lol
