Alpha testers in to phase 1 beta?

[HiirNoivl]

Well that was fun..... I'm bored again.

Always happy to help! rofl

Except you don't help.. Ever.
You just troll..

Side not

lol yeah.

"What is your intention of joining the beta test?"

Usual person: "Well, I can't say to play or they definitely won't pick me..."

It's those kind of selfish, greedy people.
People who cry about "Waa we are starving for FF ARR" We are going to lie just to get into beta to fulfill our own selfish needs..
It's really just horrible. What's even more horrible is how many trolls rule these forums..
I swear some people think the more gifs and jpgs the post, the cooler you are..
Take that time you are wasting and get a degree. Try that..

That's not to say in the 1.0 alpha that there weren't people just there to play a shiny new MMO, because there were. I'm sure half of the people that applied and got into the 1.0 alpha were there to see if they wanted to buy it and maybe half of those never did, not because they wanted to make FFXIV a great MMO, but that's what happens when a new MMO goes into testing.

With all the bad press and word of mouth 1.0 received, added to the majority of testers being Legacy players, there will be a lot less of the "Ooohhhh shiny!" players testing than there are in other MMO betas. Sure, there will still be some, but I think your opinion on how helpful the members of this forum will be in the fine-tuning of ARR is clouded by their bored antics.

And as Kira already stated, a lot of our alpha/beta feedback was overlooked so they could release early.

@Solace why so serious? these trolls are just teasing you, cause you're being to sensitive.
But i agree, it would be better if only those that actually cared, and want to give feedback etc, got in.
However it's not a big issue; There will be enough people that give feedback. If more people gave their feedback, there would be thousands of pages for devs to look through, and most of it just repetitions of what others already said. No one wanna go through 1000 pages to see what others already wrote, before you post your feedback.
The issue in 1.0 was that devs didn't care about feedback, or didn't do enough to fix it. Well actually from what Yoshi said, the system was so faulty, that the 1.0 team couldn't even have fixed it, even if they wanted too...that's why there's a remake of the whole game.
Yoshi has gone to lengths to make a point of listening, and talking in person to community, and making sure to restore trust etc. So the chances of 1.0 incident happening again is pretty much non-existent.

It's just PBT.

I'm not edgy! I'm curvy. ^^

I'm going to have so much fun in Beta. Letting the Legacy accounts in first as a guarantee was so nice of SE. ^^

O_O so if were already fighting/arguing and criticising each others posts... how are we going to be clear on what needs fixing in beta?

[Kirito]

side note: I think we can all agree that Yoshida will take a complately different path than the previous team. He and his team has shown repeated sign that they readily listen to what we have to say, even if they don't respond for whatever reason. We should also notice that there is no sign for actual release date yet; this is most likely because they want to see the number of issues in 2.0. If there are so many issues that they can't realistically fix at least most of them and get feedback of that changes by release date, there will no doubt be a delay. This may be obvious but all the future testers out there shouldn't be compelled not to present problems to the team because of a fear for delay on the release date since you'll still be in the beta. It should instead compel you to find as many issues as possible in the hopes that the team extends the beta.
