Are you claiming that that behavior (laziness) is not a direct result of the environment?

Re: Better Bug Tracker?
1) You try running and fully supporting a game that people play WORLD WIDE with massive amounts of different specs on computers.cobaltjones wrote:For the record, I'm completely for a more organized and official tracker, but as it stands with how lazily the devs seem to address issues and how disorganized the general playing community is, I just don't see it working very well.
Hell the wiki still contains tons of outdated and incorrect information, and that's run by some of the most enthusiastic players.
2)Salem is another game they're developing atm, so that's also taking their time.
3)With a shitload of bullshit posts on the bug forums, can they HONESTLY be expected to look at every post that's on there that is titled *I DEID, I'S BUG*, or some of its other brainless ilk.
4)We don't have enough info from devs or personal play to give exact stats on all items in the wiki, albeit, i am not a contributor myself.
5)I think it would work a helluva lot better than it is right now, but that's just imo.

Re: Better Bug Tracker?
Topic not going anywhere useful in my view.
If someone would rack up and maintain a clear known artifact list ... I'm sure it would be used by the Dev's.
... making things easy(er) works both ways ...

*makes stealth updates*
*expects testers to do a good job*
2. no, the devs didnt really use them
3. the very nature of forums resists such a thing

dont worry, dissenting opinions of white noise posters are irrelevant, the only ones that need swaying are the devs. thanks for the free bumps though!mvgulik wrote:Topic not going anywhere useful in my view.
