Im boycotting this game until they do something about it.
All you can do is report the player. Right click their name and report them, give details about why you’re reporting. They do not have a support team actively monitoring this game, so don’t expect immediate action… In fact, don’t expect action anytime soon™, if ever.
Boycotting the game isn’t going to do you any good, because they’ve already got your money. If anything, you’re doing them a favor by not playing online, less server load they have to worry about.
“Sticks and stones”
Yeah, that tells them to right click their name in game chat and report… Real helpful, I know…
One could make an argument that not playing on an online service you don’t feel comfortable being in (such as a game with blatant unpunished racism, trolling, etc) can be a positive to yourself even if it doesn’t affect the game negatively. I know for sure quitting some multiplayer games was a positive thing for me.
I’m not 100% on this but it is my understanding that battle.net is moderated as one big thing rather than a per-game basis. When you report someone in D2R, you’re reporting their blizzard account, not just their diablo one. This was different in the original D2, but D2R runs on the more integrated modern bnet.

If they want to quit playing the game online to protect their sensitive feelings from some schmuck looking to get a rise out of someone because they know that Blizzard doesn’t actively police the game, that’s perfectly fine.
It takes at least two to keep racism going… The antagonist and the victim. Stop being a victim and the antagonist will get bored and find something else to do. It’s basically the same solution to bullying. Ignore them, and the bully will get bored.
People can be negatively affected by toxicity, and not everyone is as immune to trolling as you are. I try really hard but those things can get to me sometimes even if rationally I know it’s better to just ignore them. I don’t believe it should be downplayed as just being sentive feelings, mental health can vary a lot from person to person. If a videogame affects you negatively (like World of Warcraft used to affect me by just making my mood worse in general when I dealt with unpleasant people), it is good to distance yourself from it, or at least that part of it.
What I do agree with, is never, ever, interact with those people. Ignore them, report them, distance yourself from them, whatever you believe is best and healthier for you.
I know the reason they do it is because Blizzard doesn’t police this game. At best, reporting a player for racism or any reason for that matter puts them on a lengthily list to be reviewed at Blizzards leisure… Which we both know that little ole non lucrative Diablo 2:Resurrected has zero leisure time to be had in the eyes of share holders. My guess is the support crew flipping through any account reports are not even presented reports relating to D2:R, or are instructed to skip them.
@OP:
If you want to avoid the problem and many other problems associated with public games, don’t play random public games. Just play solo or with friends.
Looks like the acceptance of the inevitability of defeat will be your life.
Not for me.
Rise above it, and it will do you no harm. Look at them like the fools they are, and continue along your chosen path.
Blizzard reports are independent of the game they happen on, since the CoC also counts for interactions outside of the game (such as in the battle net launcher)
I’m sure there are tags for the games they occur in.
There are, but it’s not a dedicated D2R moderation team that looks at them. I worked in support in different companies before and those platforms share tickets and support teams between products. Most likely, the same team handles D3 and D2R, or even all remasters at once
And intense shareholder greed can lead to instructing the support crew to ignore reports from games that make them zero money. That’s what I’m getting at. Otherwise player reporting wouldn’t be completely useless in D2:R.
Shareholders don’t interact with support teams whatsoever. That’s not how companies work.
Uhh… The CEO does. Even if its indirectly. And guess who the CEO makes money for? The shareholders.
This lack of support stems from corporate greed.
You won’t be missed. Players are people, and people in general are experiencing victimhood warrior and karen fatigue. Blizzard gains no additional revenue from you wasting kilobytes and bandwidth on their servers.
It does not violate your ‘civil rights’ to be called mean names on the internet, and even less to see mean game names on the internet. You are not being discriminated against.
