Not even PSU's chat bubble system could stop the spam (if people chat the exact same line they'd all merge into one large chat bubble). When you have two dozen people flooding chat you can quickly become blind from all the chat bubbles blocking the screen.

World of Warcraft uses chat bubbles and it's not a big deal at all. And it can be disabled, so where is the real problem?
