Blizzard has never said they won't add runestones to the beta. Please provide a link that says otherwise.
true, but blizzard DID say runestones will not appear until act 2. and have said MANY times that they will not add any further content to the beta past the skeleton king. they may add in runestones to act 1 to test them but they may only be tested internally and never see beta which is most likely considering their stand point on releasing more content.
True no runestones until Act 2. As you say, it doesn't necessarily mean they won't want them tested. Especially given how much changes they've gone through. It's something Blizzard seems to really want done correctly.
They said no content back when Diablo was still on track for a 2011 release. Now, I'm saying we'll say anything new on the level of the second and third parts of Act1. However, they've also added the GAH and RMAH, both are game content. Now that it could be another 1-7 months until a release, what Blizzard said pre-"delay" about the beta should be taken with a grain of salt.
Frankly, given how unclear Bash's statement was about giving us a look once completed, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that they would be added to the beta. Who knows if they will, but it's certainly possible.
