Overview

• Blizzard has temporarily suspended player trading in Diablo 4 due to a duplication exploit that allows players to amass large amounts of in-game gold, negatively impacting the game's economy.
• The exploitation occurs in a morally grey area where in-game item trading, although supported by Blizzard, is facilitated by the community and often leads to scams.
• Blizzard has warned players involved in such activities, stating that violators will face action according to the company's End User License Agreement, potentially leading to a ban or suspension from the game.
• The suspension of trading follows a similar event that occurred in August, making this the second such incident that Blizzard has had to address since the game's release.
• The specific issue underpinning the current exploit involves the ability to summon one of the bosses, Echo of Duriel, who can drop 'Uber Unique' items. The necessary summoning materials seem to be duplicated massively, leading to the imbalance in the game's economy.
