Stopped right there as I too have beta a lot of MMOs since 1999 - and if you:

Then I think you might have been in another beta mayb once. Betas and games that had WAY WORSE bugs in their first 18 mionths that I beta tested:
Anarchy Online (This MMO still holds the dishonor even today - of having the worst launch in any MMOs history. On launch day none of the Mission Terminals worked, nor could you end up in the same tutorial zone instances with a friend you were playing.)
Star Wars Galaxies (Thry hadn't even been able to keep a single server up for more than 12 hours without a full reboot at launch and for weeks after. Also, as a Star Wars fan to a degree, I never knew Star Wars was all about Crafting items and decerating your in-game house - or dancing for hours at an in game bar for stuff.

)
World of ******** (The "loot lag" bug persisted for 2 years post their launch and caused many a death." Then there were the server synch bugs where a character would 'loose synch' with the server and could see, but not interact with other characters, but said characters couldn't see him.)
Age of Conan (I hear after about 2 years after launch things started to turn around as far as game mechanics were concerned - and fully working DX10 support made it in just about the time DX 11 hit)
I've yet to play an MMO that didn't have bugs that unfortunately persist throughout its development span and lifecyte; but STO is hardly the worst in that regard by any stretch. But hety, Hyperbole grabs peoples attention.
Anyhow good luck in finding a bug free MMO you enjoy (I doubt a bug free MMO exists; but hey, you never know.)
