Sorry... let me clarify
Of course use /bug (I tell people this in game all the time) - however, /bug does not allow for feedback from other players (you may be wrong about the bug) and there is no likelihood that a dev will read your /bug see that it is you just being a knucklehead, track you down on the server and say: "you forgot to equip the fetish and it is Hill Cats not Mountain Screamers!" or the like
Not to mention that seeing such a thread may allow the devs to respond to ask for more info (interactive bug reporting) and/or allow others to escape being put into a 'dead end' position. I know that on the last days of beta - I clicked on the Captured Slaves chain at the second to last step and because there was an unseen error (I had gotten 'you are the first' messages all through it) it was uncompletable. However, since I clicked - I could now NEVER complete it.
It was beta so no big - AND the speedy dev had it fixed the same night and patched the next day
But if it was release - wouldn't we want to have a place to check for CRITICAL character-bugging bugs?
Not saying I interpreted your response as saying ANYTHING other than "remember to /bug it" but for anyone else who might - just wanted to point out uses for this thread.
