Doesn't really help people who are busy with school/work and can't keep up to date on the game.

Well good for you buddy, aren't you just the model citizen? Unfortunately your argument is flawed because a massive amount of people who will find themselves in this situation will not even read the forums. You can defend this until the cows come home but the fact remains that relying on a single forum post to inform v1.0 players that they would not be able to insert a product key for ARR is completely illogical. Would it really have hurt to send out an email to legacy players?

This has been everywhere that FFXIV touches. Reddit. Twitter, Gamefaqs, Facebook. Not just one forum. and the reposts.... lets just say there is a reason there are 1,900+ open threads in the Tech Support forum here alone.

That's great for you, but I'm not a huge geek who needs to stay up to date on a game. All you're doing is baiting people, and unsuccessfully at that. I bought the game so I could you know, PLAY the game. An email would have been nice or even a "hey did you buy a physical copy of the game. Click here to update your current serial!" button or link on the mogstation.
