So, because they didn't stick around and play a game they didn't like means they can't provide helpful feedback for a game they're clearly interested in again? I don't see how that could make any sense ever.

If anything, they're the best option for providing feedback to Square-Enix. What Final Fantasy XIV originally did wrong was what drove them away from the game in the first place. If A Realm Reborn is doing something right to where they're anticipating it's re-release, that means Square-Enix is doing something right. As a "long term player," you're already going to play the game. You stuck by the game when it was awful, so it's pretty clear that you're in this for the long haul. They might as well try and get some feedback from the opposite side of the spectrum.
