it's my understanding that the /bug command is useless, only having been used for the beta... but yet it's still in the game.

When I'm wandering half way down to Galrath and I see a monster doing epileptic spasms and discussing Plato with a tree, I don't want to ask my party to wait while I minimize, find the gw website and submit a bug "ticket", nor is this serious enough that it would endanger our mission in any way... but it is a bug and it takes away from the greatness of the game. I used to submit 3 or 4 bugs every time I play, minor ones that nobody would like to see yet aren't serious like the old henchies-stuck-in-mountains bug...

Please Anet, reactivate the /bug command

That's odd, about a month ago, I closed the game during the ending cinematic of a mission, and I was not moved to the next area. I submitted a report using /bug, and then problem was fixed within the hour.

However, if they have since disabled it, I do believe it should be reinstituted. It is a helpful command that lets people make note of problems without having to deviate from their current plan, and leads to a lot more reports than being forced to use the website.

Although, I feel that if a player misuses the /bug command, like spamming it or using it to try and get players in trouble, it should be disabled for that player.

I could be wrong but I was told that the bug command no longer worked (although it appears to work) and that you needed to submit via the website. If I am wrong then I'll start using the command again... but I'd like some sort of "official" confirmation as to whether or not it works...

EDIT

Will you have an in-game Support button or Report tab? How do I report bugs if I find any in the game?

Guild Wars is created to be played in either full-screen or windowed mode. If you have a question or wish to submit a bug report, we encourage you to follow the link on the log-in page in order to reach our Support Team.

EDIT AGAIN

If you are wondering if we will continue to have the Official Bugs Threads, now that the game is live, well, no, we won't. There is still a way to report bug, glitches and even exploits and cheats, and it's as close as www.guildwars.com. Simply click the Support button on the site, and submit a "ticket" through our Knowledge Base. The search engine will give you a few suggested responses, but if none of them fit, go ahead and "Ask a Question" and our Support Team will get the report right away and tend to it as soon as possible. We have people working round the clock to help out with problems, and of course we're always doing our best to answer your questions. Don't forget our Online Manual, www.guildwars.com/manual, and use the Knowledge Base for questions and reports.
