Game crashing and memory leaking

in Bug Reporting
Now, I'm going to bring up something I know and we all know and have dealt with for years. I feel like these issues hold the game back from becoming mainstream or at least more popular and gates new players from ever giving the game a chance in the first place.

Bug type: Memory leak/Crashing

Brief bug summary: Game closes (no longer as a runtime error) or starts using up upwards of 3GB of memory.

More details: If you play the game, it sometimes just closes.
More often than not, when doing a boss, someone disconnects halfway through.
After going for an MVP buff.
Changing channels.
Changing characters.
After Ursus golden time, memory usage sometimes skyrockets to 2.5GB+.
When playing Jett in Chuchu (and Lach I've heard), game consistently returns to channel select when using Cosmic Upheaval.

There's probably a few more missing but at what point am I just enumerating everything you do while playing the game?

Steps to reproduce: Play the game.

Character names: Thisgetsban / Mastahiro

Character levels: 213 / 240

Character jobs: Jett / Explorer Mage

World name: Reboot

Date and time of the incident: All the time, GMT+1

    Increased stability or the ability to keep all your buffs (downtime subtracted of course) when you relog would remedy the frequency and the negative results of crashes. I hope the new AWS servers improve stability, but so far it seems to be about the same as before. I feel this game has great potential but needs the stability to grow.

    These issues seem to be client-sided and not server-related though. We had those problems with reboot channels crashing recently, but that aside, the overall client stability seems to be... dubious.

    Maybe we can get this fixed in a few years just like how long it took Nexon to realize pet loot lag was a thing before fixing it, Kinda stupid how a full shutdown of your computer is the only solution to the memory leak issues everyone have
