What's the point in an issue tracker if the Devs won't look at it?

Except reportedly such mentioned Bug Reports also can get marked "fixed" without even being addressed.
Players had to re-submit the unfixed-but-marked-fixed bugs, only to see them being marked "fixed" again.
[...]

Well, maybe they are fixed. We don't have access to the current internal build.

Managing public bug trackers is a real pita for both sides and prone to misunderstandings.
 
Bug-Reporting has become "Community Goals" now ;)

If you can't get public support to not only Confirm but also Upvote your specific Bug, you might as well leave it be.
No harm done, as there's unfixed bugs around who are now older than most Player Accounts xD

In a sense, you should do the following :
  • Create a Squadron in the Groups/Squadrons/Factions SubForum ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/forums/elite-dangerous-groups-squadrons-factions/ )
  • accumulate plenty of Members who run highly unsafe Browsers or (ugh) are for some reason still running Java Runtime Environments on their Systems (requirement for the Issue Tracker)
  • Squadron goal : locate and kill Bugs (non-Thargoid related ;) )
  • identify, report, confirm and upvote Bugs
If successful, your "Meta Squadron" might become one of the most highly sought-after Squadrons in the Game ;)

Unfortunately, you only reached tier 3. We will only fix a part of the bug. ;)
 
They'll do some kind of release in July/August, I presume and until then the bugs will stay. Always been like that. They do a release, fix old bugs, put new ones in, fix any show stoppers and what else fits in the schedule, then collect bug fixes until the next release.
I wish...
 
Imho you're being incredibly naive right now.

Just to counter your cynicism. :p

Joking aside, it's just a fact that we don't know what the current revision looks like and we'll have to take their word on it. It's up to you if you believe them or not, but that's it.

Not really. It is work, yes, but if you do it right it is satisfying and motivating. I manage some GitHub and an older SourceForge project, both issue trackers are working very well and it is minimum effort with maximum outcome (still GitHub is better).

The Frontier version of an issue tracker is the opposite: maximum hazzle with minimum outcome, at least from our view.

True but past experiences don't realy give me reasons to be optimistic.
Against better judgement I hope the next update proves me wrong but I'm not holding my breath, seeing is believing.
