You're missing half the point. If they wipe closed beta and everyone starts fresh in open, there's little reason to wipe unless there was a huge exploit that gave people tons of certs over the course of hours, just as an example.

However, if we go from closed > open and no wipe, I wouldn't be surprised to see a wipe heading into release with station cash being refunded to us.

Essentially, just because it's a beta, doesn't necessarily mean there needs to be a wipe. However, Planetside 2 being a PvP game, I don't expect closed beta accounts to be privileged with maintaining their progress into release. I fully expect a wipe at some point.
