Honestly, this is horrible.
We can no longer *talk *to Epic about bugs? Why did you do this change? The answerhub was a pretty perfect place for bug reports.
With this method, there is no way to see what bugs other people reported. Many bug reports on the answerhub need comments from many different people that help each other finding the cause of some bug, often without too much intervention from epic. You want to kill all of that collaboration and make people fill out some form and wait? And cause 10 people to fill out the form with the exact same data, because they can’t know about anyone else who already submitted the same thing? That’s a huge waste of time for many people now. And what will that lead to? No one will report bugs any more. Very bad!
I have reported hundreds of bugs on the answerhub in the last 3 years. I very much liked all the discussion I had with many people that had the same issues I had. I often googled for bugs and found bug reports on the answerhub. Often also before anyone from Epic commented on there and could have entered them into the tracker. You really want to prevent all of that from happening?
Thats a really, really bad thing. For collaboration in the community, and in the end for UE4 as a whole
