Dev's You better answer!

[Babydoll]

Nix said her husband DID apply.

We theorized in the other thread that it could have been when the devs made all the accounts active so they could log in for the final event on the 11th. It could have been here that the inactives got the short window to apply and have their applications submitted. An oversight on SE's part.

Ah..that is kind of messed up >.< Hopefully the closed beta will be different heh.

No, you better answer! /totallydidn'treadthethread

Good heavens....

[Kyri]

Good luck on next wave of invites everyone^^ I thought I heard tomorrow?

[Meier]

Yeah i really hope the dev's answer this thread. I still haven't recieved an alpha invite as of yet and i can confirm that one of my freinds has had an inactive account since aug, 2011 and they applied for the beta ( the first wave ) 2 days ahead of it and somehow got choosen.

ALSO most of the fools that are posting against this thread are those fools who had inactive account and HAS been accepted to the alpha. I can confirm it as well. Seeing how i know some freinds who has alpha status.

Not sure what part of it you do not understand. I would paraphrase for your sake, but I'm not really sure how to make it clearer than that.

What part of

he said a long time ago that he wanted people who don't play the game to give feed back

Don't you understand.

[Abriael]

What part of Don't you understand.

"he said, she said" doesn't work so well in front of a nicely written clause right on the application form.

Not sure about what part of it you don't understand, again.

[Starlord]

"he said" "she said" doesn't work so well in front of a nicely written rule right on the application form.

Not sure about what part of it you don't understand, again.

Everyone breaks the rules sometimes, it's called "bending" the rules. :P. Yes they shouldn't have put it on the Application page, but what can you do about it really? Alpha is over ( practically) so no need to cry about it now. onward to Beta I say for the next batch of QQ's!

I still don't get how you don't understand that he wanted people who don't play the game in alpha.

They can't sign up cause they can't play the game but he wants them in anyway so the non active players could give feedback. I still don't see whats so hard to understand about that. You only needed an Active FF XIV account to APPLY not get in.

That doesn't work so well when you're a company dealing with paying customers. It's called losing customer trust. Which is exactly what Square Enix should avoid like the plague, given its recent history.

I still don't get how you don't understand that he wanted people who don't play the game in alpha.

if you want something, you don't put in writing a rule that conflicts with it. It's that simple. Whatever he wants doesn't change the fact that Square Enix put in writing a rule that reserved application to the alpha to paying customers. Which makes it obvious that paying customers aren't happy to see that rule not honored.

They can't sign up cause they can't play the game but he wants them in anyway so the non active players could give feedback. I still don't see whats so hard to understand about that. You only needed an Active FF XIV account to APPLY not get in.

You may want to reassess the situation, because you are obviously oblivious of the facts, and writing without knowing what you're writing about doesn't help your argument. Inactive accounts are able to apply to the alpha and they have been for a while (while initially they weren't) and that's why they're getting selected. People tried. It works.
