Ironborn grew in popularity during Diablo 3, as many players felt the [[Auction House]] was corrupting and an impure way to play, since it made buying and selling of gear too easy.
Ironically, [[D3v2]] and then especially Reaper of Souls came along and turned everyone Ironborn, with the extensive [[item binding]] in RoS locking every legendary, enchanted item, gem, material, gold, and more to the account that found it. These game changes essentially killed the Ironborn movement, even bringing an end to [http://diablowww.incgamersdiabloii.comnet/category/columns/the-ironborn-columns Waterfiend's popular ''Ironborn'' column] on Diablo.IncGamers.com.
Once everyone was Ironborn by default, there wasn't anything to write about as a special purist play style choice.
