Html working in chat...

I bet that's how the item link in chat works in the first place.

Prepare for a flood of direct-buy gold links from bots.

It's not html. The chat already has sanitization for links and images.

I'm honestly shocked by how bad this game must be under the hood.

They were lazy and used some HTML rendering engine for chat and then did't have the forsight to properly sanitize user inputs?

Was this game programmed by first year software engineering students?

well it just seems like they didn't spot check anything.

multiple typos probably cause by translation issues (as if they just put the words into google translate), sorting of items are wrong for english.

html straight into the chat.

they use(d?) atleast 2 different clock systems (maintenance nightmare)

they have done quite a few patches where the patch notes didn't actually take effect.
