I don't know of many betas where you can keep the items you earn. This could be negated by removing drops entirely from beta, and giving everyone access to one of every weapon and a handful of hats, but I imagine they want to mirror production as close as possible. The reward is knowing how things are going to change so you can develop/configure things before a feature goes live.
Also, if you have to add "no offense" to a statement, it makes you sound like a jerk (no offense to jerks) for even completing the sentence.
