Just posted on the official Guild Wars wiki: Skill Balances and PvP Changes and Chat Channels and Trade “Spam” Lots of buffs in this skill balance. Including changes to Soul Reaping:

Soul Reaping: Energy gain now triggers 3 times every 15 seconds (if you are already at maximum Energy when something dies, it does not count toward this limit). You now gain full Energy when a Spirit you control dies; you gain no Energy when other Spirits die.

I think the Soul Reaping changes will work. It’s not as good as it used to be, but much better than the 5 second timer.

I wonder if they are going to make an in game announcement on the trade spam changes or at least give a warning before banning your account.
