The entire Quality Control section of my unofficial roadmap post is very relevant to this post, including these few additional posts from the developers on this subject:
July 7, 2023
Judd: We’re certainly focusing heavily on this right now. We have many people dedicated solely to addressing bugs and polish up till 1.0 and have even brought in two additional developers to focus on chewing through the bug list! I expect our bug fix section in the 0.9.2 patch notes to be massive.

July 20, 2023Judd: I’m thrilled to hear the positive responses our new players are having and please know that there is a ton of polish coming this year to the game. Some things don’t feel as good as they will before we get to 1.0 and you’ll see the mountain of patch notes at 0.9.2 showing progress towards those polish goals. Combat feel, massive reduction in bugs, quest improvements, UI updates, online play becoming smoother, party play refinement, etc.

Mike: Yes, bug fixing is – when I say polish, and I said polish like 80 times this stream, a huge part of polish is bug fixing. That’s a lot of what polish is, is it’s bug fixing. So yes, we are definitely fixing bugs all the time. There’s people who will spend an entire week and just fix bugs.
Aaron: The bug fixers. You’re not a bug fixer?
Mike: I fix bugs all the time. I mean, everyone cycles in and out of things that they’re doing. So I spend like a week, because you don’t spend – that would be kind of tedious to only be doing that ever and never implementing anything new.
Aaron: Reimer says, “We will never not fix bugs.”
