Good to read this as well...

"...but the majority of in-game content won't be released until the final product."

So bored to see the big uber guilds dominate betas, keep exploitable bugs secret between themselves, and then start the live game with a major advantage in every respect.

I would guess they will be using a small, maybe professional, test team for the bulk of the game and just use the majority of people for stressing.

I guess they're going with focus testing that will gradually open up as they get closer to launch. SE are known for being secretive though so I expect the majority of the actual content will be kept out of the beta, and instead they'll just test mechanics, balance, and server capacity.
