Proposal: CCP Should Fix Little Things

I know there are continually drives to fix the age old bugs and problems with the game, but recently there seems to be too much focus on fixing the large of the 'little things'.

So run a new drive to find and fix bugs. Examples should include:


Titan bridging bug that can only be resolved by a safe log off
The fact that eve gate can't display emails with the same format as in game (links don't appear, bolded and underlined text vanishes; despite these being the only formatting options eve gate allows you to actually use to compose the mail
The fact that linking in game to something in eve that requires you to be logged in, fails with a 404 (it should either take you to a log in page, or log you in since you already are logged into the game)
The bug where you can start two POS mods anchoring at the same time, leading to the POS to be completely locked until it is reset at downtime
The fact that you can't drag materials from a blueprint show info window to the market (etc.)
The fact that you can't drag a ship type from a fitting window to the market (etc.)
The fact that when you drag a person into the eve mail 'To' box, it STILL opens up a list of 'matching users'
Overview bugs. How can they STILL happen, just make it default to personal, then corp if no personal standing, then alliance if no corp standing and be client side derived. Solved.


I'm not even going to consider graphical errors like sideways warping ships, as this doesn't affect my game play, but it might be a big issue for some...

These are issues that I'm sure affect most players most times they play the game, and are in some cases bugs that have existed for years. They really need to be sorted out.

Sadly CCP are not omnipotent nor omnipresent. They can do everything at once all the time.

Some of those things (like expanded drag and drop functionality) are very obviously and publicly being added over time. Some of those bugs have gotten much less frequent as well but a single bug can have multiple causes and therefore be hard to fix entirely.
