I have noticed that there has been a number of patches lately, which makes me really happy. A number of my friends quit Shards after 2.5 went live, mostly because of all the bugs and how long we went without any fixes.
Having access to a comprehensive list of current bugs and another list of fixed bugs would accomplish a lot for the server.
It would make it easier to report on bugs that are not already acknowledged
It would mean we wouldn't need to "check" within the game if an bug still existed
It would allow the dev's to not only show their work, but to share their priorities
I have patched a few times when checking in, and I not seen anything mentioned about some of the bugs that have bothered me. A list like this would disclose the status of the bug, or if has yet to be reported.
One example would be that when purchasing multiple items from a vendor, it was a crapshoot on what you would get. This may have been an issue when more than one person was buying from a vendor. I have no idea if that has been fixed.
Another issue that was probably fixed, is that you could not form a group in just any zone.
Another 'minor' issue is that NPC's in some zones "float" around the zone without walking. (everfrost - skeletons)
I realize that these are minor, but if a full list was posted, pinned, and maintained... It would make a huge difference.

1 - bug still exists, you avoid it by reopening the vendor after every purchase (pain in the butt i know)
2- bug fixed
3- bug still exists, default skeletons won't animate without Luclin Human male models turned on
#2 is awesome, and thank you for the work-a-rounds for #1 and #3, I will use them
My list there though is just an example of a few things I know about. I'd love to see a comprehensive bug list posted that is updated as bugs are fixed and reported. It could also list the work-a-rounds.
I think pinning a current bug list thread here would go a long way to getting players back into SoD. I have two buddies that I am pretty sure I could get them to log back in if there was such a list. (especially if the bugs they felt were most painful have already been fixed)
