Diablo 4 trading is on hiatus for the foreseeable future as Blizzard works out a solution to stop cheaters and duplication in the RPG. As we usually see with games like this, including Diablo Immortal and Lost Ark, players are using gold and item glitches to get more than their fair share during trades, and Blizzard isn’t happy about it.
“We’ve suspended player trading in Diablo IV until further notice due to a gold and item duplication exploit,” a Blizzard representative said on the game’s subreddit. “We are working on a fix to amend this issue and will update you once we’ve reinstated the ability to trade. Once that is done, we will continue to monitor this activity to ensure a healthy playing experience for all.”
“We thank you for reporting this exploit to us and your patience.”
Players who take advantage of these glitches will likely get banned, though Blizzard clarified that those who unwittingly traded with cheaters will be unaffected.
The trading scene in Diablo is one of the more important parts of the endgame. Here, you can buy and sell gems and certain pieces of equipment using in-game currency. If you’re lucky – and loaded with gold – you can walk away with some pretty nice augmentations for your characters, so it’s unsurprising that players game the system and try for unlimited gold or rare items, especially with how long it takes to grind for anything in Diablo 4.
Blizzard didn’t offer an anticipated timeframe for when it might restore Diablo 4 player trading.
