Player warns about cheaters in Diablo 4, advises never to drop materials

earthpressnews

There are apparently some scammers around in the current season 2 of Diablo 4. The community now warns that you should not fall for them and give away your hard-earned materials. If someone asks you to drop them, you should just brush them off and report them.

This is the scam:

  • With Season 2, new materials came into play, including Living Steel. It is extremely rare, even if you can now farm it better.
  • A user on Reddit is now warning against dropping exactly this material. If another player asks you to do this, it is most likely a scam.
  • If someone asks you about it, the user advises: send them into the desert and report them. Under no circumstances should you drop your materials.

    • What do I need the materials for? Living Steel and some other materials are required to summon the new bosses in Season 2. This includes Uber Duriel, with which you can specifically farm Uber Uniques.

    Getting together in groups is currently a popular way to get summons and kills more quickly. Because each player in the group only needs enough materials once to summon Duriel for everyone. So you get up to four kills per group.

    The system was actually intended to encourage players to interact and trade more with one another, fixing one of Diablo 4’s earliest problems. But now it is apparently being exploited.

    If other players deprive you of your steel, they can use it for themselves or their own friends, thereby excluding you. Or, worst case scenario, someone quick will steal it from you when it’s on the floor. That’s why you shouldn’t drop the material and only trade with people you trust.

    We have already received information about the new class:

    “By the way, your bank details are not needed for the summoning.”

    In the replies on Reddit, a number of users appear rather cynical and advise not to reveal bank details or social number. You don’t need them for the summoning. Apparently such scams are quite well known.

    Many players have apparently had these experiences before, as similar scams already existed in Diablo 2. The users mrgoodbytes8891 and SvenTurb01, for example, are talking about it.

    Back then, it was common for cheaters to ask inexperienced players to place their equipment on the ground so it could be inspected. The fraudsters then bagged the items and disappeared.

    In the current case, the loss is fortunately not as serious as back then, when several hundred hours of grinding could be behind the items. It’s even kind of entertaining to see how “younger generations” are finding out that they shouldn’t be scammed.

    However, Diablo 4 in particular seems to attract newcomers who haven’t had much to do with the “nasty” side of gaming. The ARPG actually has a more adult and experienced community:
