The War On Spam Continues
Despite the fact in-game spam will probably never be fully prevented, Vaeflare reminds us it is of great value to keep reporting spammers.

The short version is that this is actually quite a complex issue, as Blaten13 noted. We’ve had some successes and some failures, and it’s possible we may never be able to get rid of in-game spam completely. It’s not really something you can fix once and never have to pay attention to again (since spammers continually evolve their arsenal of clever tricks in order to promote their wares and services). Regardless, we know that receiving in-game spam is annoying and we’re committed to keep trying new solutions, understanding that they may not always be 100% effective. In the end, our goal is to curb as much bad behavior as possible, while still ensuring that legitimate players can freely connect and chat with their friends.
In the meantime, please do report spam friend requests to us so that these reports can be reviewed ASAP by the appropriate teams, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated on any and all news we have regarding this subject.
Kamui's Crusader Helm
Cosplayer Kamui presented her progress on a D3 Crusader armor she's working on at the moment. The helm is ready and looks fabulous. You can check more of the progress in her Facebook album!
ChromeOnRust's CM Wizard Gear Guide
ChromeOnRust made an interesting guide including the state of the Auction House 3 months before its closing. He demonstrates how you can gear up your CM wizard to be viable for MP10 farming and gives a look at the skills and the build in general.
The issue with spam can be easily result. Just turn off chatting. There is no trading in game anyway. Just make as well turn off trading and complete change Diablo to a solo online require game as planned.
The spam they're referring to is the friend request spam that gold sellers/bots/hacked accounts send to everyone en masse. You can't exactly stop that from happening.
I know what they are. My point is, since they are pushing to a single player game, might as well disable chat complete so player can FOCUS on monsters slaying.
Spam will only get worse after the AH is shut down, loot 2.0 or not there will be enough rare/desirable items. Enough people will be willing to pay money for the best gear that will keep the spammers in business.
But at least we will not likely be gauging prices in Stones of Jordan anymore.
