Hello, I'd like to point out something that's been said before by Molten team but still not detailed enough for me atleast.
I know already about scripting / fixing priorities globaly but on the long term, It's better to have a weekly log by team where we find upcoming week schedule so that we know what will be fixed or not. It can be done by dev leader for each expansion. I give an example.
Week of 25/05 :
MoP :
- working on quests of xxxxxxxx
- working on ToT Ji-kun script / fix
- fixing some item bugs
Cata :
- ...... (same thing)
WoTLK:
- ..... (same thing)
Atleast we see in details these priorities and stop bragging about what we think will be fixed while it will never be. This is just a detailed log.
That was my point of view.

This isn't up to me and I wouldn't be managing it anyways, but I still would only see that being possible if we had a community mature enough to look at such list and not start creating thread after thread complaining that we "didn't keep our promise" and the like when some fix doesn't comes or is set aside for later or whatever else might happen. That already happens when we give an estimate, it would only be worse with a list, in my opinion.

I agree on the mature part, absolutely. But also if such a thing is done, it's better to remind population that it's just a predictive log. Surely there are constraints on time and manpower. Those details are just for informations, not necessairly will be released at the end of each week. I thought about this idea because, I spent like some hours navigating the bugtracker, couldn't have any details as I wished to, many new opened bugs are fixed within a week and some urgent ones from middle 2014 aren't even being looked into. Also there are tons of bugs in bugtracker, so having weekly targets would be better maybe.

You contradict yourself. If you agree with the mature part, you know the maturity to listen and understand it's a "predictive log" wouldn't be found. This would only generate complains if something wasn't out "when promised", like I already said, and when people didn't see their personal "most critical bug ever, more important than everyone else's" added.
Developers don't throw dice to decide what bug they will be working on next, so just because you don't see targets it doesn't means they don't have any.

True but I didn't say they don't have any, I said they give us more details somehow. I know and I believe they're working as hard as they can.

I agree with Obnoxious here, people would for sure make thousands of posts" why isnt this or that fixed and you promissed "
They gave some pointrers on what they are focusing on, those things that majority wanted fixed, and in my opinion that is enough.
