    Anyone who engages in item duplication will have their account actioned? Wtf. Imagine if they took away your Pokemon cartridge just for duping an item.

      Imagine paying 70$ for a f2p mmo where you always just play by yourself but you get banned if you cheat

      It’s pretty common for online games that have player-to-player trading systems. The developers are usually very protective of their in-game economies, because while they don’t officially support grey markets, they know that the existence of grey markets is the sole reason a huge chunk of players (often whales) play their game in the first place. It’s in Blizzard’s best interest to ensure that there isn’t in-game inflation.

      It’s the standard Blizzard approach to do that, they used to do the same thing in WoW. I hope they do look at how many times someone’s done it. If they’ve only done it once (or maybe twice), maybe just give them a warning. If more, then consider banning them.

      Same reaction, once Baldur’s Gate 3 was out I haven’t touched this game, and probably I’ll wait for a couple of months until they fix the mess they have

    Reminds me of New World. That was full of exploits and each time the devs blocked trading, sometimes for days at a time.

    When you buy a game and it turns out it’s just a direct debit. Games aren’t supposed to be fun they’re supposed to make money of you plebs

    Every day I’m more glad I didn’t buy it. Didn’t even cost me much friend time. They only played it for about a week.
