Low life expectancy

I used this rope ~40 times within 5 months. Only for sports climbing (both in a gym and outside on a rock). The cover frays quickly and, additionally, there is a plastic thread coming out of the cover (see photo attached). Beal Customer Service commented it with: "You have to pull it and cut it near the sheath. No security problem on your rope". I'm quite disappointed by the quality of this rope and really shocked by the reaction of the manufacturer. I'll go for Tendon or Edelrid rope next time.
