Only reason people think its from Beta is because you could attach it to your beta account during the Monolith days, which would become usable when it went live. Monolith sold HJ Beta as a promotional item via preorder regardless if the person was in Beta or not, and people got it and get it every time they make a new character. All SOE has done is use it for promotional via buddy keys and trial programs, for single characters, where Monolith's was perma account wide.

I am not aware of that you could buy pre-order after launch.

Leave the name as is.
Since you must visit a construct where total PvP is in play, this cancels the "anyone can get it" thinking.
Low level players can so easily get ganked from high level players in the construct.
You must me a high level player to obtain the rewards so at this point the ability is worthless.
Getting it, just to say you have it, or holding onto it since beta seems crazy to me, since noone in game knows you have it anyway.

I don't see the name being changed. Some sort of functional difference of the ability would require a name change.
If the abilies can be changed as easily as the numerously tweaked clothing, perhaps it is technically possible with minimal difficulty.
If they did change the name, it would give people one more unique item to collect and hold onto and have no use for only to say they have it. But these sorts of things are what people are seemingly sticking around for.
In this case sure, lets add one more worthless item to the pile for all us to collect.

Stupidest CSR on earth, I swear...This Claim feature was setup by SOE, Monolith never sent over the Beta information when the transition took place so SOE/CSRs have no clue who was a beta member or not, thus why we all almost have the same register date.

Because if they can't then I'm still right.
