Suggestion: Reward System for bug reporting/exploit reporting

This doesn't need to be game breaking, all I suggest is rewarding an amount of embers(currency used to buy aesthetics in the shop) equal to a fraction of what it would cost to purchase something per bug or exploit reported. Incentivizing people to go out of their way to make sure problems are fixed as fast as possible and to make sure exploiters/bots always have a target on their backs. Hell, even if it is just like 10 ember and a skin costs 500. That stuff can add up when people are diligent. And as long as embers aren't able to be traded nor the skins they can purchase, this will have no negative effect on the in game economy.

Though on the other side i can't see this being at launch but maybe that is my mind set where there are always tons of small or big bugs in games now adays. But also what if people are reporting the same bug and disappointed they aren't getting embers because of someone else. People get more attached when it comes to money being involved for better or worse.
not to mention if say there is really obvious bugs that the entire population reports you cant just give it to some people it would have to be all of them which then results in people posting they didnt get their reward for reporting a bug.
At least that's how I expect it would go. Even if say instead there was an in game title for reporting 100 bugs that get fixed after you reported it could run into that same issue. Mind you a title would appeal to me more since if i really wanted to buy a costume I can.
I feel like this might be detrimental to the support staff in the long term. It would encourage everyone to report the exact same issue to collect the bounty. It would just dramatically increase admin work merging tickets and copy pasting the same reply.
You might say that they could have a list of issues they're aware of but this could cause it's own issue. Having a list of bugs and making them more well known could be open for people abuse the bugs to their benefit.
Titles.
People LOVE titles.
First X to report a bug get a proper title.
Then we can all thank that person whenever we see them for making Verra a better place.
You can give titles as compensation for people who find broken builds/mechanics that then have to be nerfed, weakening them.
Immortalize them as 'Meta-Breaker'.
Honestly just award that title after you report 100 bugs
Make it first come first serve
But how would you know you're first >_>;;;
Everyone will think they're first if there's no public list >_>;;;
You won't know. And besides, it would need to be confirmed as a bug or exploiter anyway. So you report it, and if you luck out as the first submission, woohoo you get embers! Either way you're doing your part to help the game
Edit: just put an automated message for a thank you and saying a disclaimer that there's a chance the bug or exploiter was already reported and that it is a first come first serve policy. Wish them the best and thank them for actively helping the game and community.
Fantastic idea and I 100% agree. Formatting is important for organization and keeping track of things.
Rather, perhaps occasional reward for someone that does alert the teams alot
That'd likely clean up a lot of clutter.
