Testers who find an issue that prevents execution of an early step common to many scenarios, who then dutifully create 150 tickets to fail each scenario individually, crowing on about how many issues they've found

Function A is not working correctly, they file ticket in the morning and we give rough eta on when we can look into it.

Next day, I have tested the rest of the day and for test user 1 to 21 function A is also not working. Are they trying to make these things expansive ?
