With their beta schedule, they are CLEARLY not interested in really testing the game. Some people claim that they have to monitor the servers so that is why they are not up 24/7 - yet the game is going to be running that way in just a couple months and supposedly they have the tech from Champions (so they claim in interviews) to handle massive clients perfectly now.

So, past that bullshit, one has to wonder why Cryptic keeps the content so guarded? Afraid that testers might actually find the suck fast? Or perhaps Cryptic has a chip on their shoulder thinking they are perfect?

I see the same. Critics of Champions where silenced. Many testers gave up not only due to talking to deaf ears, but the lame testing times marred by downtimes just trying to patch the client makes you want to go elsewhere.

Plus, in addition, the holidays are coming up. A few days off for Thanksgiving, more for Christmas and New Years. Really, February is coming fast - work day wise. If they keep up this testing, there will only be like 40ish hours of beta testing information. I predict open beta cluster-fk followed by an attempt to fix things at the last minute with a launch patch that also goes rocky due to late-in-the-game stress testing.
