Diablo Defeated by Spam

Found on the Unofficial Diablo 3 Site Diii.net (also known as Diabloii.net to Diablo fans) have noticed something quite big going on inside the current home of the Lord of Terror; Diablo boards on Blizzard's Battle.net.

It appears that while the game has been shown to be very modern, using cool effects and being more practical than its predecessor, their infrastructure (Battle.net) is still running on the same software as in the "good old day", and what is presumed to be Diablo haters are spamming the boards with hundreds of thousands of posts.

Wish these people would get a life and move out of their mothers' basements.

Leord6184d ago

Man, I can't believe how this can happen to Blizzard in this day and age! =P

Aren't they supposed to be the PINNACLE of technology and quality?

kalos6184d ago

Guess they need a moderator or two, can't they use some of that subscription revenue to hire some? :P

Leord6184d ago

Yeah, I wouldn't want to have the job to delete hundreds of thousands of comments, in what I suspect is a manual labour =P

SCFreelancer6184d ago

I think its more then time that they start a project to update their forum software. The part I don't understand is how this works with the whole cd key thingy in place? Are there spammers buying big numbers of keys just to be able to spam the forums?

As a comment to people reporting the thread:

DON'T USE "OTHER" AS REPORT TYPE!
- Please? =)

The thing with "Other" that most people miss is that it's never possible for the contrib to fix the problem. "Other" should only me used when a stupid contrib is "fixing" problems while not making any changes... If it indeed was SPAM (the ham, which is named that, and referred in the picture) that was the problem, then "Bad Editing" is the correct report form.

I so wish that the contrib test was harder.....

Thanks for removing the report btw! =)

Finally some love for diablo 3, I completely agree with its placing! Very nice coop on the ps3 back in the day, but solo was a good grind as well, very enjoyable.

The only thing that irked me was buying the complete or ultimate edition or whatever and suddenly introducing a dlc that's not included.

Trash article. No way you should be listing the original as third beat.

Also Immortal should have been left off. It's a whale machine not a game.

Pergele68d ago

Diablo 3 > Diablo 2. I tried D2 after playing D3 many times and didn't like that nearly as much as 3.

Diablo 2
Diablo 1

After this Diablo died.
