Item Dupes Are Crashing the Economy
Diablo 4 has recently been hit with a massive issue affecting its in-game economy. Players have discovered methods to hoard or even duplicate Runes, Boss materials, and more, seriously damaging the game’s economy.
Why the Trade Market Is Collapsing
Diablo 4’s in-game economy is in shambles due to rampant item duplication, which has flooded the trade market! This is causing gold prices to skyrocket and drastically shifting the value of offers and trades.
Players Sound the Alarm
While some argue this issue has persisted for at least two seasons, it’s recently gained traction on Reddit.

Early Season or Nothing
Players note that excessive item duplication shrinks the window for fair low-price trades to just the first few days after a new season launches. This means any player hoping to make a fair trade has to get lucky enough and find a tradable item as quickly as possible.
Casuals and Late Starters Get Left Behind
Players who start late or don’t level quickly may find themselves locked out of reasonable trades.
Will Blizzard Step In?
Ultimately, if you don’t use the trading market, the issue probably won’t affect you. Nevertheless, this problem needs to be addressed as soon as possible. It casts a shadow over every future Diablo 4 season, knowing the trading market is broken and honest traders risk getting scammed. Until the developers resolve this issue, we recommend steering clear of trading unless you’re willing to pay heavily inflated prices.
