The problem is almost anyone can sign up on the mojang tracker... so basically if 3000 reports are made, about 2000 (or more) of those are duplicates ....
No one ever uses the search feature, they always assume they are the first to find the bug :p
Or* people don't know how to describe what bug they have found very well, and put a bad label for the title... so it technically has been reported by them, but others don't know it's the same bug because of their lack of properly posting.
The thing I dislike is them moving suggestions and improvements to reddit... I used to post mine on the tracker and they'd review it and say 'hey we'll add this... or meh, it's not needed' .... now that it's on reddit, i can't post any of them, because you need 10 comment karma
and basically it's general public that review it, so it's the same as minecraft forums ... 90% of them are a-holes and put down anyone or anything, and think they know everything :p
It's funny... i have a few suggestions and improvements i've needed posted for the past 2 years... but never posted most of them
At first I was posting them on minecraft forums, and some of those things were added maybe a year after i posted them... and the way people acted were 'you don't need to post about this, these items were already added'
