Just want make sure I won't get my account in any kind of trouble for filing too many bug reports; I've seen posts about people getting in trouble for too many open tickets but I assume filing bug reports left and right is okay. After the last patch fixed some z-fighting spots, I started reporting all the ones I see (they make my head hurt so I so want them gone). This morning (so far) I've filed 4 bug reports (and reported another 20 or so z-fighting spots in the past couple weeks - trying my best to not file any dupe reports) but I do have concerns that I might get flagged for filing so many bug reports over such a short period of time. That's just in my head, filing bug reports is good thing, right?

Nah you're good keep filing away, they are pretty good about fixing bugs in about standard 5-7 business years.

Lynnabel fixed a bug the other day within an hour or two of me mentioning it on the forums so they can be quite quick to fix stuff. I think there's a mix of bugs that aren't easy to fix and things that don't get reported (because everyone assumes someone else has already filed a bug report on it- or a report was made ages ago and got lost in the shuffle). And between my post early and now I've filed 2 more z-fighting bug reports making for a total of 6 spots in my full Feywild zerg clear; there could easily be more flickering texture spots outside my zerg pathing in those quests, but I'm not going out of my way/routine to look for them (already burnt thru a chunk of XP potion time each time I was tabbed out filing the bug reports).

I don't recall Grim & Barett having this huge z-fighting flicker spot before (or maybe it has been there and I'm just overly sensitive to them since I started reporting them). Which begs the question, did the recent "z-fighting" fixes last update make some locations worse, or did a graphics update for my nvidia RTX 2060 super make them occur more often, or has it just been there for ages and I just hadn't noticed how bad the flicker was? I've had a lot of migraines recently which is why I've been on a flickering texture bug report binge as the flicker makes my head hurt worse, but it seems like I'm spotting more than I expected in older content.

I have a bug with my main; missing a racial action point. It's been over a year now since my first ticket, although they did eventually close it saying they can't fix it. I ran a ticket again a while back, and they requested I bug report it, so I did. You'd think that they'd realize I leveled to 20 four times for trying to get that action point, and somehow fix whatever error is glitching it. It's a shame to not only lose the time investment, but also never be able to get the last AP my toon should have. I feel like I have earned a new feat: incompletionist.

As long as you are sincere and you think it is a legitimate bug, be assured bug reporting with detail is quite appreciated.

Reporting bugs is pretty much the only volunteer thing you can do to help push the game forward other than playing and spending money
