I always thought the chat gem was just an Easter egg blizzard threw in to the game for kicks... But some people this its much more than that.
After reading the latest news on the chat gem from blizzcon I got bored and started reading all the old conspiracies and all the proof people came up with to back their opinions on the web, I'm still not sold that it does anything.
Every time someone presses it, Blizzard kills a kitten (and saves the ears).
This guy knows what he's talking about. In a pic at Blizz headquarters I once saw a pile of kitten ears!

It really does nothing. Bashiok keeps telling me they don't want it in D3 because it wasted so much time for Technical Support.
What, really? What exactly did people ask in technical support? I would have such a laugh if they called up saying that they can't start the game and think it might have been because they left the chat gem on the "moo" setting.

You'd be laughing until you looked at the time sheets at the end of the year and realized you were spending decent size chunk on tech people telling morons "It's working fine, it's not supposed to cause anything."
Yeah, they probably weren't spending millions of dollars, but I could see it winding up to be 30+ man-hours a year, and then you have the bad will that other idiots feel towards the game when they realize they aren't smart enough to figure out it's a joke.
