Legacy Status must be revoked in order for ARR to survive launch.
I'll be honest here, there should not be such a thing as a legacy status.
Square Enix can word this biased/unfair action anyway they desire, in the end it's a form of favoring and no one appreciates that; exempting sometimes those being favored.
Yet still... Unsurprisingly few on the favored side have enough humanity left to look down upon such and as so feel it's of Square Enix's utmost importance to re-look their actions as I am sure they do not wish to split their soon to be gaming community down the middle only to tear itself apart once again.
As for anyone here who doesn't believe a word I'm saying, take a look around the forums... Even better how about you take a look to the right side of the screen where it says "Hot Topics" and picture that on a much larger scale ....say About every single person who buys the game wondering what they did wrong?
I'll close with this statement Square Enix, We were invited to alpha so that you could see what problems are still left, well the biggest problem of all rises again and again; I see it each time I check the forums, that problem is no one is happy with the legacy status unless they have it and those that don't want it gone, its that simple.
