And really, it's in NCsoft's best interests to not have open beta if there's enough people with this mindset, because people who only want to 'try before they buy' will be most likely turned away by all the bugs and unfinished pieces of the game, so less money for them

What sort of fantasy world are you living in. The try before you buy it doesn't apply to the game industry? You are obviously new to gaming if you believe this or just making random statements to substantiate something you know little about apparently.
All major games are coming out with trials or beta's now, they have ever since PC games went mainstream. Beta is what the player makes of it. It's common practice to use beta as a preview what was before MMO called a demo.
You're using cashflow to NCsoft as an excuse for the game to have bugs. We, the players, are not responsible for the success or failure of this game, nor are we resposible to fix the game, nor is it a good excuse to not have a preview of said product. I'm sorry I don't wear the shiny rose tinted classes you are supporting but some common sense would suit your argument better.
