Let me put it this way: For those who think it's a complete privilege to play in the beta, contrary to your belief it's not. it can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Hardware issues (overheating, power, memory) and in game issues (losing currency, characters) can become quite frustrating, especially for those min/maxers. Most of us who were in the beta early enough actually provided input, some of which was incorporated.
The reward for those who participated in the beta I feel is acceptable. For one, it's for complete vanity. It doesn't provide beta testers an advantage any way.
I do agree that there are those who got in and did nothing (such as having an open beta weekend - *that* is a privilege), and yet still are receiving this reward, but I'm sure they aren't going to take the time to go through everyone who was invited into the beta to see who provided essential feedback or reports.
