I have been in many beta (open and closed) and in all honesty, they don't NEED to transfer anything. They were nice enough to let us have an exclusive beta tester emblem for playing Saturday and that's honestly more than most betas give, considering that usually you get a thank you. And that's about it.
That being said, if they do give us anything else or let us transfer over data, I'm all for it. The gear is leveled so all those pvp players won't be able to use there gear anyways and in pve having an edge over another player doesn't mean anything. Not to mention that they choose your subclass for you in the beta so there's a 2/3 chance that another sub class will fit your style better.
If they DO let us transfer anything, the only thing I'm hoping for is the grimoire cards and the yet fully specified kill ranks that go with them. I really want to see what all those blank cards say and getting some of those dead ghosts was truly challenging. And if we are really lucky they'll let us keep the class cosmetic items like the hunter Cloaks and emblems, because there is no effect on actualgameplay.
In the end, we should all be thankful for our beta tester emblem and not expect anything more. Be REALLY THANKFUL for anything else because they don't owe you anything, not even the beta emblem.

I wouldn't mind keeping a few of the Iron Banner items, personally. They might be carrying them over anyway. Doesn't make sense to have limited-availability items that'll be removed.
