RO2 should be the model for why...

games need a beta. I can't imagine a better way to improve a game then to allow the players to actually play the damn game and rant about it on the forums. We can see that these problems are being alleviated through patch fixes, and we can see the drastic changes this game has gone through to release. Here's hoping the final product is much improved.

Beta testing is win.

Problem is..you get a lot of morons who swear off the game because their primitive minds can't quite comprehend what "BETA" means.

I can't begin on how many people I've seen *****ing about the game assuming it to be complete even though it says in gigantic neon letters it's a "BETA"!

Every one knows that Beta is the second letter of the Greek alphabet.

But how can it be a letter when it's made up of four?

My first VCR was a Beta-max. I traded it for a C-64.

Easy to agree with this. Just look at the amount of bugs and suggestions people have come up with comparing to the closed beta.
