My proposal is to start selling gold, runes, Obducite, Resplendent Spark officially in stores.
All this can be duplicated in the game and given to another character. Obducite is transmitted through the floor. Resplendent Spark 20 mythics in 10 minutes.
You can sell a little devil with a PTR for $100 every season. Where you can get everything with one click.
You will never be able to fix this problem anyway, so take charge.

No, this is a terrible idea. Go play DI if you want to play a credit card game.

Why is it a terrible idea? It won’t be any different from what already exists. On the contrary, the company’s income will grow and they won’t have to struggle selling the game every year. The game will be free for everyone. Maybe even cosmetics will become available to everyone due to the extra income.
If I wanted to play a p2w CC game id play DI. I dont want that so I dont play DI

You have had p2w for a long time. Only you don’t notice it, every 2 can duplicate
Yes RMT exists doesnt mean game needs to be P2W. Again if your looking for that type of game in the diablo IP it already has it. Its DI.

What’s the problem with legalizing this? If the game already has items costing 99b on the first day of the season
Well that’s what open trade does. Doesnt mean we need P2W micro transactions from blizzard.
Again blizzard already has a credit card game called diablo immortal.

Diablo 3 RMAH.
This single-handedly botched the release and reception of what was the succesor of arguably the most well-known ARPG that popularized the genre and should have been a slam dunk.
It wasn’t until Reaper of Souls and the console release did the game recover from a massivd blemish on its record. Diablo 4 likely would not have happened if it weren’t for that.
Also, with courts cracking down on perceived “online gambling” with loot boxes, a Live Service model is more profitable.
Plus, Blizzard gets to ban offenders, turn around and sell them copies again (cost of doing business) in a never ending consumer cycle. So, there is that too.
You still haven’t answered me why we don’t need this. I only hear indignation from you, but not any specific criticism. I described to you all the advantages of implementing this idea.
Diablo 3 died immediately after the closing of the marketplace, the relief of existing content and bots. All this happened in one of the quarters. Even the addition to bring back the audience didn’t help.
Why introduce lootboxes? I am telling you about specific prices, read what I write in my messages above.
There is no point in banning accounts. Since Blizzard does not get anything from this. For those who do not know, you can buy the game once and create empty 1000 accounts. You can dupe from empty 1000 accounts. And your main account with the purchased game will not be touched. In simple words, Blizzard doesn’t get anything because their game is distributed to other accounts for free.
I have. D4 is a B2P game. Yes some toxic behaviours exist with open trade like RMT run by 3rd party gold farmers.
Blizzard already has a mobile P2W game which is what you are describing for what you want. Im just pointing out that Diablo Immortal exists. So if your looking for a game that sells you power DI would be the game youd want to play.
I myself dont play P2W games because they are trash. I want to play a game, not swipe my credit card.
I will disappoint you, but you are playing Diablo 4 P2W. On the first day, items cost 99b in the game, you will not earn that much by simply farming gold. And in order to buy an item from the market, you will have to buy this gold for real money. You are living in an illusion. The problem is that Blizzard could earn this money and not beg for it once a year or two for an add-on
Well if you are a credit card warrior thats on you. RMT is not part of the actual game and does break the ToS. If blizz ever does anything about it.
P2W is not a feature of the game. Again I point you to Diablo Immortal if your looking for a credit card game.
Blizzard has been unable to do anything since the start of the game. They have trapped themselves with cross-platform. Disabling it would be like shooting themselves. This means there will always be dupes. You never know what they didn’t plan to do. Now we have P2W only through the Chinese and not Blizzard.
They could lead it themselves and earn income instead of losing it.
As long as open trading exists you will have:
- Credit card warriors
- Spam bots
- Bots
- Dupes
This is nothing new and has existed for 20+ years. All games with open trade suffers from this. If someone feels the need to swipe a credit card instead of playing the game good for them. Blizzard should not turn D4 into DI.
DI already exists for those looking for a P2W game.
Yes, it is in games, but not in such a brazen way as in D4. There is a new level of indifference here. So this can be legalized. You do not have a single hint of any kind of fight. Rather, they gave up here. It’s good that they stopped drawing objects and stats
You dont understand the difference between B2P and P2W and thats okay but again if your looking to be a credit card warrior Diablo Immortal was made for you.
I understand the difference. Your problem is that you don’t understand what you’re playing at. Sometimes you can’t believe what they tell you. In the end, everything may be different. In this case, D4 is a game with a mandatory payment for gold if you want to trade. On the first day of the game, there are dupes. Prices for items in B and you can only feed 200m per day. You are forced to go to the market to buy gold for real money. The whole economy is controlled by dupers.
I dont RMT, games so casual you dont even need to trade but if you do you find an item and trade it at the current value and trade up.
RMT wont got away but it doesnt mean we need a P2W feature from blizzard selling gold, shards and obducite.
If your looking for P2W Diablo Immortal exists. Just play that.

It’s better if they disable all trading altogether. Let everyone be in charge of their own gold, with no shortcuts. This is an easy fix. Diablo is all about getting that loot, and if you can just buy it, that takes away the sense of accomplishment.
