Im kommenden Content-Patch 2.1.0 - dessen erster Teil seit gestern mit dem "Background Downloader" verteilt wird (News & Download) - wird Blizzard Entertainment etwas gegen die grassierenden Gold-Spams unternehmen. Neben einer "Report Spam"-Option mit gleichzeitigem Ignorieren des vollständigen Absender-Accounts bei eingehenden Spam-Nachrichten (per Post, Chat oder Wisper) wird es in Zukunft nicht mehr möglich sein, mehrere gestaffelte Textblöcke als Spam-Wisper zu verschicken. Gilden-Mitglieder oder Freunde können nicht als Spammer gemeldet werden.

Reporting abilities:

• Players will now be able to report chat and mail spam with the click of a button. A "Report Spam" option will now be available by right-clicking on a player's name in a chat channel, whisper, or mail. Using this option will quickly and easily report the player to our in-game support department for review.
• When you report a player, he or she will automatically be added to your ignore list for your current session. You won't see any chat or mail from that player until you log out and back in.
• These tools function on a per-account basis, meaning that reporting one character on an account will ignore all chat text and mail from that entire account until you log off.
• You will not be able to report players on your friends list or in your guild.

Message throttling:

• Players will no longer be able to send large amounts of text at one time, filling a chat screen with a repeating message, large blocks of gibberish, or text that could disrupt an entire conversation. This throttling, along with the new chat-reporting feature should make it much easier to keep unwanted text off your screen before it becomes overwhelming.
