I've been playing MWO since December, and I wanted to weigh in on bug testing and why it must be so frustrating for PGI:

First off, even though most of you aren't going to believe me on this one, I have had very few bugs/glitches on my MWO install since joining in December. I log all of my issues in a file in order to report on them better (yes I'm OCD )

1) The March 18th patch was the first patch that caused a glitch on my system which required a complete unistall/reinstall of MWO. Other than that I have had no issues with the new patches rendering my game uplayable.

2) The number of times the game has glitched on me (that I have noticed) is fewer than 30 times out of just under 2000 matches (1.5% of matches). That's it. My most common error, is the no mini-map bug which has happened to me 11 times.

3) The second most common bug for me is the lack of building textures on Frozen city/ frozen city night. This has happened 8 times.

3) The most annoying/baffling glitch was a complete lack of HUD. No mini-map, no HUD, no compass, no crosshairs. This only happened once, and it was in the past week.

So while I am tempting all sorts of code gremlins with this post, I have to ask what makes my computer so special that I have basically had little to no issue with the game glitching? I keep my drivers and windows up to date religiously, and I have pretty high end hardware, but this shouldn't explain why I'm not having any of the issues I read about on these forums so often.
