Guild Wars 2 Beta events are all separate and stuff. So if you get accepted into one beta event, doesn't mean you'll get to participate in the next.
Also all of your characters get wiped after the beta, no rewards for helping out or anything, aside from getting to play the glorious MMO. At least that's how it is atm, according to the FAQ.

| thats the point of beta tests, it really shouldn't be to play the game early, but to report bugs and other problems

The wiping thing? Yeah a lot of betas are like that. But still. Might not feel as bad if they had the testing for more than 3 days a month. Staying up for 3 days straight to take part in the rare opportunity, and then it's all gone... just feels bad.

this is how it usually works:
alpha test : report bugs on prototype
closed beta: test fixes
2nd close beta: test Release candidate and start release promotional campaigns to attract as many customers as possible
Open beta: test server capacity for release

Except there's been a lot more than 2 beta events.
Closed beta started in December. These GW folks aren't doing things the usual way.
As for the Firefall Beta... Executed gloriously.
