The point is, we need a more accessible and tidy bugtracking system than randomly posting stuff everywhere in the forums. It's so much easier when you can file a bug, then comment the bug instead of commenting everything else.

Some threads initially bring up a bug, then it evolves into anything and everything. Sometimes more bugs are brought up in the wakes of the initial bug report, and other times the thread completely shifts topics. If we had a proper tracking system, we could all review the filed bug reports, then add comments on the specific bug, and if we uncover more bugs, give them each an individual report. So 1 report per bug, not 1 thread that covers 2-3 bugs each. Of course the devs would have the ability to interact directly with the people who are reporting the specific bug. Once the bug has been "fixed" it will be noted as "delivered" or such, then we can test the new build, and if the problem still persists we can "reject" the bugfix and it remains in the "To-do" list.

Other than that the developers can draw useful information from their own crashes in the office, and comment/share code etc regarding that bug and keep track on what's being done with that specific bug and how far it's on the way to be fixed. They'll set a goal for the next patch and add bugs and features to that list, then they can all see what needs to be done before the next patch, how much remains and share it via a live feed to us That way they won't have to constantly be annoyed by people asking how it's going and they won't have to write it manually into the forums, just listing stuff up and ending with "And a lot of other small bugs and fixes......" we would instead have a complete list of EVERYTHING that is reported and fixed.
