As for the beta servers, they cant even keep the server up for more then an hour at a time.
This game is not ready, don't be suprised by a delay or a big patch launch day.

As for the PVE/PVP server transfer, the issue is hardly game breaking, it doesn't scream "gold farmer" at all, it screams "easy money". You pay a transfer fee, you are happy, Blizzard are happy.
And, erm its a beta server, not a server you should be testing a new build on, don't expect it to be up when you want it up, its a test server, for testing things >.>

All MMO games are released with bugs and flaws, they are games designed to be continuously patched with hotfixes and major patches. If you ever expect a MMO to be perfect out of the box, you are crazy.

Actually it does scream "gold farmer" and "selling characters". It'll be much easier for people to farm gold and level characters in mass on a pve server then sell them to people as they transfer to a pvp server. If you dont understand this theres no point in talking about it.
Also, when the server is constantly restarting and having serious lag issues because of some of the new content (vehicles in wintergrasp give everyone a 10+ second lag delay) less then 2 months before they release is a serious concern.
Also the "physics" that they have added are still pretty buggy as well and include many exploits.
