Beta Tester Experience?

Well this is a hard one. These days there is basically some kind of public beta for almost every game. Most of the players that join just use it to play earlier. Looking at most beta forums, feedback has been limited to some few dedicated members or non useful rants about the game.

I did my fair share of betas but listing them doesn't show how much experience I have.
There is only 1 Beta worth listing as I do it in a very dedicated manner and do this so for many years already. Since there is a NDA in place I'm not allowed to say more than the name of the titles I've been testing. Namely that would be X3:Reunion and X3: Terran Conflict as a Team Leader. I did not get paid though as I did it as a volunteer. As a gamer I'm more interested on improving the game I wish to play in the future..

I'm not saying being in many betas means that the tester is not very dedicated but only that a list also doesn't represent the actual experience. No offense meant.

Recently I was in the first wave of two closed beta browser games: Earth Eternal & A Mystical Land. Neither of them has done so hot (or will do so good in the long run) because they didn't listen very well to the beta community. Additionally, both had relatively small development teams. The publisher of the latter was also too busy with another game, vastly ignoring player comments.

Already I can tell EoN's Trion and Petroglyph will be different, which is why I will wait for the end of time for this game to come out.

Ive only tested
World of warcraft all exp... closed beta for cata

Two very different experiences Rift people actually reported bugs where as wow was more used by the top guilds to learn the new bosses for server/world firsts any bugs found they kept to themself till after it went live and they killed the boss then they would report the bug.
