If the broken quests are known and logged, why are they allowed to remain in the game? It would be better if those quests could not be started, and best of all, if they were repaired.

The devs have a policy of not removing things from the game, even if they're broken.  They see it as a step backwards.

Then it is them and me (can't say about others^^)
You can't really know if someone won't find another issue, we (or you? ;P) are there to test afterall. 



What you can failure tommorow, failure today.

Then what's the point of the testing server?

To catch release-stopping bugs, and therefore prevent the rollback we had to do with .019.

I still don't see a reason why we shouldn't be warned about broken quests, especially since quests cannot be dropped and they have a habit of interfering with one another.

It would seem to me that you should be able to discover that information from sifting the bugtracker and that if you were on the ball you would already know. I do not think this is the place for such a list.

If the information is already publicly available in the bugtracker then there is no reason why such a list should not be put together and released for the convenience of the average player.  The average player does not check the bug tracker as religiously as you claim to do, and I think it's extremely unfair to expect the average player to look through the whole bug tracker for such information, especially when it would be very easy for a single individual to put together a list of broken quests and make it public.
