Play with friends so you know where material come from. It’s simple. Another option is Blizz accepts responsibility and becomes the middle man by having an in game auction house. If they did this and you got duped items they would be responsible.
If I have excess gold, I will definitely buy mats. I don’t care where they came from with how bad the performance is in this game and how you can lose all your helltide progress with 1 crash(which happens often).
Unfortunately I can barely play the game because these so called minimum specs are a lie, even though I have a little bit higher than what the game is asking for.
Here’s the thing: can Blizzard prove the player knew that the person was receiving duped mats?
If not, then banning them is bad legal exposure and I promise you that Blizzard does not want their ToS/EULA being picked apart by Lawyers because it’ll end badly for them (Gotcha clauses put the entire legal document into question and some places like Canada have ruled that if you bury lines of text in the EULA/ToS/Contract that it’s not enforceable).
So from that end alone it’s not wise for them to be going after people they simply suspect, they need hard evidence.
All the ppl that think this doesnt affect them must NEVER do these things:
Never go in a party (potentially watching your teamates wtf pwn a tier 100 with their cheated items)
Never goto a world boss late (IF you are late now and the cheaters are on they insta gibbed boss in .7 seconds and you get nothing.)
Never trade in a ruined economy
What else does cheating and exploiting that goes unpunished do?
Undermines others gameplay and motivation. Why bother doing things real when cheating is allowed and even put on display as ok by streamers that get away with it?
Encourages more cheating and exploiting. Why do it the legit way if you can just cheat and get away with it?
Pits the players against each other. ITs already happening in this thread. The ppl that want a fair game are made fun of. I think we can make some inference about the players making fun of others for wanting a fair game. They could be the ones cheating.
Cast doubt on the future of the game. IF cheating cant or wont be fixed then the future of the game is put in doubt. Its like a child you fail to punish on breaking rules. The child will start to doubt you love them. That you have given up. You dont care.
You need to drop massive hammer on cheating and exploiting. I have watched many games implode due to this.
Putting your head in the sand and pretending this doesnt affect you is a short sighted and wrong view. It absolutely does. Even if u disagree with all my points, you will eventually get affected by cheating and exploiting left untouched in some way be it through friends, loss of players in the world, ect.
Everyone should want a fair game for these reasons. Evil succeeds when good men do nothing.

While you were arguing, a new round of exploits just dropped
Are u kidding me???1!!!1!!!111!!!eleventy1!!!1
This is the second dupe exploit they’ve had. This one falls squarely on the game director. It’s sheer hubris not to have a PTR up for a new season, and certainly in the early stages of a game’s life where things like this are more likely to go live without a PTR than would go with one.

IP and hardware bans dont work. Secondly IP bans have to be the dumbest thing you can do. 99.9999% of the people playing this game get a DHCP public IP. Banning that IP only bans another potential customer who gets that IP after the lease is up. And tbh is not hard to force a public IP to swap outside of going through vpn as well.
Just suspend the accounts that duplicated gear. Or better yet remove the mat cost to do Duriel. 1 to 2 hours to farm up mats to kill a boss that takes legit 10 seconds to kill and drops trash the 6x I have done it so far.
Edit* not asking for anything to be handed to me either. Make uber uniques 1 in 500 or 1 in 1k from uber Duriel or make him a bit more difficult. Right now the hardest part is not falling asleep while farming the mats to go do the boss.
Well it was comfirmed yesterday that he did little over 500 Uber Duriel runs in 3 days.
There is no way without duping…Even if other people did it for him he knew.
Guilty by association

i agree on that its a shame
No punishment can be greater than needing to play helltides.

actually, hardware ban refer to HWID Ban
which…exist…so yeah…
Also, what does that have anything to do with the matter at hand ?
actual exploiter (not those that didn’t knew any better and were given the duped items) should be banned , end of story.
(and most probably : account ban)
Duped mats does not equal murder lmao unless you are from D3, then yes a death sentence and a ban on all of your decedents for at least 200 years is acceptable
Yeah he knew that those mats all weren’t earned legit. Idk I guess cause I’m old and see things in a different light that kid would have been banned on release when he was exploiting dungeon resets in stream and continued to look for ways to reset stuff after they would fix an exploit he found.
Not being envious.
But I find it a bit unfair.
I am trying to farm mats for Duriel atm and even if I play 7 hours a day I only manage to do 3 helltides, which means about half of the mats for 3 duriel.
So others already having done over 200 duriel runs has a bitter taste.

You have clearly never seen how bad it can really get. Destiny 2 is the root of where this pervasive attitude towards cheating comes from and the cheaters have literally infiltrated the development team and were advertising their RMT scams on the official bungo website for years and spamming lfg posts and having bots to this day solicit everyone in DM’s. Google “the craftening” where they outright endorsed cheating for a weekend and made an emblem for it.
Simply making a post like yours criticizing any of that will get you permanently banned from their site without warning.
Diablo 4 is also missing all the sob stories about how they “need to pay their phone bill” so they cheat and DDOS in trials without remorse until law enforcement comes knocking to shove a boot up their flippant ar se.
Fine if they ban all the wallet warriors and gold sellers too. Because FAR more been buying their duriel runs than duped them.
If anyone should be blamed and punished it’s the worthless devs. How about if they coded and tested the hand properly this stuff wouldn’t be a recurring issues.
I couldn’t care less what others do in the game they purchased. There’s no leader boards, no economy. There’s no competition.
Actiblizz should give this game to the mod community so they can see what actual experience and talent can do.
Are u seriously making excuses for cheaters???
