Beta duration is unacceptably brief for a pre-order perk (Destiny)
The betas for the various World of Warcraft expansions lasted between 4 and 8 months.
And guess what? <Cody slags WoW here>
Nothing new here, eh? You obviously know very little about what format the WoW betas take.
You might not have liked the way he made the point, but the main point still stands - your original post said that you looked to WoW for beta length because you "are familiar with betas in the world of massively-multiplayer online games," but Destiny is not very much like WoW (or other MMOs) at all.
