Can you resist the sirens call? (Destiny)

I don't know if this bit of information changes your view on things, but Bungie has said they are treating the Beta launch as if it were, for all intents and purposes, the full game launch. The story begins with the beta and if I were a betting man, I'd say that your characters progress will carry over (because I doubt they'd make us restart the game like that).

Whoa, that's a tasty tid-bit. Definitely changes the stakes for me. I'd love it if the beta wasn't just a throw-away, although I fully understand that Bungie may not have a choice. For example, what will they do if some exploit is found that in some way breaks the economy (or balance, or leveling, or whatever)?

I am more than ready for this beta. For the longest time I was pretty lukewarm on the whole thing, but my enthusiasm has been growing steadily. I've got a huge game vacuum this summer that I'm counting on Destiny to fill.
