The first major exploit in Diablo 4 has been discovered, and it’s one Blizzard is taking very seriosly. Usually, exploits give players unintended powers but don’t affect other players, such as being able to bring Eternal Realm characters into the Seasonal Realm, or deal more damage than realistic by combining certain Aspects and class skills.
This one, however, is a duplication exploit, and it’s severe enough that it could ruin the player economy, which is why Blizzard has disabled trading between players until it’s been fixed. The news comes from an official post on the Diablo 4 subreddit, in which a Blizzard community manager said trading will be offline until the exploit has been fixed.
“As always, any account that engages in gold and item duplication exploits will be actioned in accordance with our End User License Agreement,” they explained.
