In this our conversation, as far as I’m aware, what matters for bugs is the frequency at which they are being encountered, per player. Encountering the same bug happening once a day is significantly different than encountering several, different types of bugs every day.

Welcome to economics! Bugs are prioritized based on “does it break the game?”, “does it affect many people?” and “how long does it take to fix it?”. This is the norm nowadays. I’m not saying it’s a good thing!

Considering that we’re not reading complaints about this as much as they would be there if your case was more common, maybe we should be talking about your machine, OS, setup, etc. instead?

I’ve had this before. I could narrow it down to an issue with mouse movement happening, iirc, but I have gotten so used to doing it right that it faded away eventually. I’m not saying I’m disagreeing with you, btw. Especially chat issues are a major problem in my perspective and I barely use local. I did not know about the things Drone are doing, but maybe it’s part of the game? 😃 Rogue Drones exist for a reason! 😃
