What about using some online bug reporting tools like this one?

It's quite handy, as it allows devs to manage the process of bug fixing by assigning tasks to team members and reporting about fixing status, it also informs the testers what information should they give besides "A fuckin' NPC won't talk to me. Fix this quick or I'll rape your dogz!" - game version, location, type of bug, reproducibility, severity etc. What's more, it has an option to make the report public or not - useful for reporting exploits because you shouldn't give everyone information like "run to X, you'll get countless caps there!".

Downsides? You need to register there to report and if the dev have some question about a bug, he only can get an answer if the tester checks responses regullary. But maybe there are e-mail notifications, I can't remember that because I've been using this only two or three times.

Do you know what Kai Zen (continuos perfection process) is?

It's:

- Hi, i found a bug, it looks serious. Do i get something for it?
*thinking: damn, it indeed looks serious. How could i overlook something this poor sap just found, it makes me look bad.*
- Hi, i found it yesterday by myself, been working on it. GTFO.

Fortunately, it's only found in corporate sector, and found no way in FOnline. You make a good job, devs.

Yet still, should i find out, that the crate in my tent starts inexplicably to spawn HQ ore, i certainly WOULDN'T make such a foolish move to report it.
Yes, i'm selfish.
Many players are.
Would any of you do it, seriously? Will it make the game any better for you?
Next time you'll get killed in Broken Hills, you would remorse your decision.

Gameplay isn't any fun in FOnline. It's serious business.

You are playing a beta. Your virtual life is short.
The next wipe, that happens not too distant each others, you'll lose everything.

Most people don't seem to understand what bugs are let alone write one up properly. That's why game testing companies have about a 10% acceptance rate for applicants. It's quality not quantity that's important.
