It seems that even the world of Sanctuary is not safe from illegal activities. Blizzard stepped in and disabled item trading in Diablo 4 so let’s see why that happened.

Diablo 4 is a game where the gathering of powerful gear is key to success. Most of the time, the most powerful gear is hard to come by. For example, players have to run through the same dungeon or fight the same Boss over and over again. And that is more complicated than it sounds since most Bosses require you to gather specific items before fighting them. It seems that some players found a way of illegally duplicating those items and that has forced Blizzard to disable item trading in Diablo 4.

Why Was Item Trading Disabled?

After the reports of another duplication exploit in Diablo 4, Blizzard has disabled item trading. This has happened before, in August 2023, due to gold and item duplication exploit. The same thing happened again in Season 2, and Blizzard officially stated: 

“We’ve suspended player trading in Diablo IV until further notice due to a duplication exploit. We are working on a fix to amend this issue and will update you once we’ve reinstated the ability to trade. We will continue to monitor this activity to ensure a healthy playing experience for all.
Any account that engages in gold and item duplication exploits will be actioned in accordance with our End User License Agreement. 
We thank you for reporting this exploit to us and your patience.”
