Seriously though, do you guys have QA for half the systems you have in place? How about some automated testing? Basic automated UI tests for things like "oh hey, this hoverboard mount icon is now missing" (as a really basic example) should be handled.
 
Or my new favorite, "We have a system that sets quest progress for all players to 0% in an automated way, and we don't check which quests are affected when releasing patches"

Frankly, a lot of this seems incredibly amateur. Lock it down, please, and stop damaging your own product by putting out new content when your system is sitting at 50% test coverage or whatever. I love this game, and I don't want to see it fail due to really basic mismanagement...

			Considering the size of this game to allow QA to test every interaction of new code with every aspect of the existing game would delay each drop by weeks at the least, potentially months. It is very possible for a new line of code to interact with seemingly unrelated parts of the code in unexpected and unforseeable ways, this is why hotfixes exist and is something that exists in every single MMO that has regular updates.

I sort of implied it. It was hateful and irrational, sorry guys.

You compared lines of code between the two. This implies that there is some valid comparison between the two; that they are alike in some way relevant to the discussion. They are not.

I compared amount of code. So let me ask you something:
1. Does Wildstar have an amount of code?
2. Does Amazon have an amount of code?
 
Thanks for adding to the discussion; I'm sure this will turn into a really thrilling semantics debate over the next two pages of thread.

Since this thread isn't really constructive, I'm going to go ahead and close it. If you find an in-game issue that needs attention, please submit an in-game ticket or, at the very least, let include steps to replicate it in your post so we can  pass it on and get it looked at. 
 
Thanks,
Team WildStar
