Get ready to learn about 'orb debt.'

Diablo Immortal players have been calling for Blizzard to do something about third-party resellers for quite a while prior to this."This is huge issue on Eternal Conflict, the leader of Elegy “greedypie” made money off his guild knowing the risks of them being banned with these illegal orbs," Katsu wrote in an August 22 post on the"Other guilds such as Huaxia participated in illegal activity as well, as well as shadow rising member Broski definitely bought cheap orbs.

Using external resellers violates Blizzard's EULA, and so rather than just clamping down on resellers, Blizzard also apparently disappeared orbs that were purchased through them. That's left a lot of players, particularly whales, deep in the hole. Redditorsaid they had spent $500 on cheap orbs and, following the revocation, now sit at -120,000,"or about 1,1650 in the hole."

"To put it simply: currency in this game is too damn expensive and it’s near impossible to make any progress without it. I could spend 10 hours playing everyday as a F2P and even after a year likely would have no more than 1000 resonance." Players with negative orb balances are apparently barred from group activities like joining parties or taking part in rifts and dungeons, and also cannot access the in-game market. In the eyes of some players, though, that punishment is insufficient because they can still take part in the PvP Battleground, where they'll still have an advantage thanks to the orbs they've already used.
