Why is it that these betas are only 3 days long?

That time frame is not a beta and will never even be worth being called a beta. Betas are weeks long or months long things.

The game is in Beta, and you are testing the game, therefore it is a beta test..

Length of time does not mean anything.

You incorrectly assume that there's only going to be one beta event. A closed beta test encompass multiple tests over a period of time, not just one test at one specific time.

i understand the meaning of a beta test and i know there are multiple tests. You go and look at any other beta test and look at the length. Bethesda is the only place that has 3 day long betas and only over a weekend. I'm sorry but that's not long enough for people to do much and get a true feel to the game.

That's why there's multiple tests.

Anyways, shouldn't this be posted in the beta forums?

there are no beta forums from what i seen. and yes i know that's why there is multiple but when they delete your character for every beta test how is someone supposed to experience things that you can't get to until a certain level when you don't have all the time in the world to be on? such as pvp, the beta survey asked about pvp i only got to level 5 because i have things to do other than sit around and play the game all weekend. so explain how 3 days is enough time to experience thins in the beta even though there are multiple beta tests when they delete your characters everytime the start a test?

Sorry but these are not the forums for discussing aspects of the Beta, apart from saying you are in it.
