To be honest, it's a pain hearing spam about setting stuff up when i clearly explain the process and upload a Youtube video afterwards. As this is a forum related issue, I have no reason to add in my Server info. If you want this forum to look like a ticket, then design it like a ticket, don't just rely on people to read or care about what you want them to say in a free model forum.

For example the Mission Point event was only bugged on certain channels of Tarlach server the 2nd time around, so when someone posted about the bug not being fixed players from other servers posted about how the event was working fine for them.
So its always best to post all of the information you can so that others can try reproducing the issue.
Sometimes a server name isn't relevant to the issue but other times it is. Many reports that get submitted are way too vague and/or are missing information. Nexon can't rely on the playerbase to decide which reports should have server name included and which shouldn't - it would get left out far too often. Some people just aren't thorough enough when writing bug reports. So to avoid this, they made a set of rules with required info for each report including a server name which may or may not be relevant to each specific issue but it acts as a failsafe. This way, every time a server name is actually required to help fix the issue, it should be there.
If they did not actively enforce the rules including adding a server name, people would get lazy and start leaving things out and bug reports would get even more sloppy overall. By making a consequence that your report gets ignored/trashed if it doesn't follow the rules, it cleans up the reports and saves a lot of work asking for more information/clarification.
OP's idea about making a kind of ticket-like form for the bugs report forum would make the situation even better though. It could have the potential to avoid incomplete bug reports entirely or at least significantly reduce the number of them being submitted. For example, make "server name" a required field so if it doesn't have any text you can't even submit the report to begin with.
I also don't see reports getting thrown directly into the trash when they are incomplete: they get tagged as such and either the OP eventually completes what's missing, some other person remakes the entire report completely, or after a large period of time of being ignored the thread just sinks to the back of the section.
