Lack of developer discussion and feedback on the current issues with the game(imbalanced classes, boring rifts, unrewarding new content, boring new content, etc)

I imagine they meant "most bugged events"

That would actually make more sense

That's exactly what I was talking about. It's just a "We are looking into it/they are working on a fix" response. I've been through the devtracker as well and have seen all the responses since releases. They are all the same thing.

Are you looking for a step by step breakdown of what they're doing?  Maybe they need to send you an email?

So, reading these threads, across several MMO forums, and a fair few SP game forums, it would seem that what is being looked for is something like this:

7:50 AM, Dev 1, 2 and 4 clocked in.  Dev 1 immediately logged into his development tools and started working on attempting to recreate Bug 6.99.  He moved character 34 several in game meters in the X axis, then returned to the starting position, and moved in the -X axis several times.  He then repeated these steps 43 times, before he finally got the bug to trigger.  After this, he made what adjustments he could, and then repeated the process again.  He stayed at this until lunch time, at which point, he had gone 2 hours w/out the bug showing up, and called it fixed.

Meanwhile, Dev 2 logged into her dev tools, and loaded in character 12, and equipped and unequipped Weapon Z approximately 400 times, before recreating bug 7.55.  At which point, she made what adjustments she could, and repeated the process 45 times, with the last 4 runs producing 0 instances of bug 7.55.

Meanwhile, Dev 4 logged into their dev tools, and loaded in character 10, and started equipping and unequipping helmet 55.  Bug 2.98, which is supposed to cause a CTD condition, never occurred from log in until lunch, and so she called it unrepeatable, and went to lunch.

At 10 AM, Producer 1 started reading feedback from the community manager about new bugs, and assigning devs to look into them.

If they actually had 3 devs assigned and only for bug fixes all these years and work only until lunch time, this game would be completely bug free before any new expansion.
