This topic is the most important thing in the game right now. Its not toxic its the truth that matters. Cheating and taking advantage of others should be a pretty important thing to expose.
You should call them out, breaking TOS should be a big part of your argument. You are a partner and it should be your obligation to keep the integrity of the game alive. Its your decision at the end of it, but i just couldnt stand by and let unfair play happen in a game that i am sponsored by
Streamers benefit from the ecosystem at a lesser but still present level as the developer. NetEase has never been concerned with the “integrity” of the game if it resulted in less money. You are kidding yourself if you think there will be a massive sea change that would be implemented to frustrate their best customers in dominating servers.
Let's be clear. The immortal reign Scrappy Echoes was a part of had already had accounts that were bought. It's that old. Blizz just needs to update the ToS to match China at this point. As for gaining Immo status, bought accounts aren't really doing that. 3v3v3 is generally won by old high end accts.
This started on my server, eternal conflict when Kincaid bought Martin’s account and destroyed our reign made ez bail and we followed. Then mard did it to treasure goblin. Both have a stated similar goal regarding competition which I agree with. They just go about it really poorly. The developers of this game gave us all free rein to make the modes They built fun and the current whales choose to not do that. I think these guys want to do that but they don’t go about it very well.
On my server, Silver Spire, only 2 factions have ever made it to immortal status everyone else is just BG/vault fodder. Every 7 weeks, we change back to shadows/immortal. So the game is really just a grind. Being immortal is not fun anymore once you have achieved immortal status ever other 7 weeks for 2 years now. I feel the game has just run into a wall and is just a money grab for the developers.
As a member of a clan, that does server jump. We started the clan day 1 of being competitive, we as a group decided collectively if the immortal/shadows competition turns sideways/sour, we find another server and jump. Members of my own clan have been called out for buying accounts, we all learned our lessons watching others with the negative orbs issue, that no one wants blizzards eyes on their accounts so we keep it 100% correct. Don't do stupid things. But to earn those big cloaks, you need to jump to shake up the stagnation of the immortal/shadow clan holds on some servers. We have jumped 5x's and learned lessons along the way.
If they are violating the ToS Blizzard should ban the accounts. I'm confident the people piloting these accounts didn't just start playing the game with an account they purchased. They can play with their legit accounts. If they make buying accounts not a violation it's fine then.
Blizzard needs to make/pay you for being THE top community leader/influencer. If they would just implement your suggestions, this game would be the epic game it was made to be! Ur awesome Echo, keep pushing and be our voice please 🥹
It's more like he asked for screenshot so he can tell his friends that people are watching your actions aka I don't wana lose your friendship if you are doing this
Just watched the one about account trading and the comments are turned off. Lol. That's already happened on High heavens/rat king server. They made My clan switch servers almost a year ago. 😂 It's Kinkaid!!!!!
If anyone was Curious as to why myself, my Best Friend, & most of my Warband (Just to Name a few) left Iceburn Tear for Helliquary, Kincaid & Co. is the (Main) Answer... I wouldn't be Surprised if there were Whale Alliances in/on every Server Cluster, BUT some of them are Nicer overall than others. I've Played with Numerous Members of the Top 6 Clans here & haven't had even 1 Negative Experience that I can think of? They've Helped me Unlock the next Inferno Difficulty when I Needed it. They are ALWAYS Carrying People through Gauntlets when they are able to do so. And if they have any Open Spots, they'll let Players that have NEVER been an Immortal Join for at least 1 Reign. I can't say the same about most of the Whale Alliances/Immortal Clans back on Iceburn Tear. There are a Couple of Individuals that are Exceptions (Aador/Radagon) for Example that are/were Cool & Helpful. I don't even know if he is still there? And from what I've Heard/Seen, things have only gotten even WORSE since I/We Transferred... Why do you think there have been however many Server Mergers there, but not other places? Because so many Players are leaving to get Away from him/them...I'm sure RedOctober could find a List of all the Server Mergers since Launch because he's Resourceful like that. IDK about Helliquary, but I want to say Iceburn Tear is around something like 8 at this Point? Give or Take 1-2.
I am 7K player (if that helps any). I get chosen to play Immortals/Shadows almost every weekend. I see 4K-5Ks participate frequently in the scheduled tournaments - but they are maxed 30 on all gear and maxed out everywhere else that a Free-to-Play player can achieve. So long as I can play a few times a cycle, I am content.
Blizzard is so scared of NetEase that they allowed these buying and selling of accounts in the chinese servers. This, in turn, spread out into the Blizzard servers. A prime example is in our SEA Region servers.
In addition to that, we have, in Brazil, a person, or people, who has created and maintained a huge number of alts and shadow clans to actively mess with the shadow wars. We reported to Blizzard many times, nothing has been done.
I appreciate you, and I'm sure most of the DI community does as well, for exposing this info in detail; however, you said you knew about this for over a year. You were silent about the issue until it landed on your server. Out of curiosity, why expose it now?.... oh, wait .... I just answered my own question didn't I? Don't sit on info that's clearly a huge problem that keeps getting bigger and bigger just because it isn't affecting you at the time. Here we are - it's on your server, and now you decide it's a problem that needs attention. Better late than never though. You still have my support for throwing this out there. It needs to end. Nobody needs a 9k+ account to fully experience the immortal part of the game. Unless Kions and Corvus are too much to handle - can't answer all the trivia questions correctly without a few whales in the raid. Cheers
My dude. You can't straddle that fence forever. There is clearly a side that does things directly against the CONTRACT you agree to when you agree to a games TOS. Stop trying to upset no one while trying to be the good guy No one's saying to send raids to people's houses. But putting some names on notice will do more to help than vaguely discussing it because you know it's trendy in the community Stand for nothing. Fall for anything Your more worried about burning bridges . Those people aren't the ones who pay you to do youtube and could care less if you exist or not Your already a diablo immortal partner which makes me take everything u say with grain of salt. And of course your fine with whales overtaking servers. But the average player is uninstalling thus making the whales continuing to pour in thousands of dollars to be the only way for it to survive
Okay I just spoke to Bingo and others. Call us out. We are all about it. You can’t have a hot topic like this and just be like, nope not going to say names or call anyone out. You have our permission. The other side won’t give it. Why do you think? Take a stand for once. In fact being so close to blizzard, wouldn’t you want a fair and equal playing community? I own my account and spent 100k plus on it. This needs to be called out.
I know of day 1 clans that have accumulated (not bought) high-level accounts because of players leaving and letting "the clan" have use of the account. Call it piloting or what have you , but these accounts stay in clan and are available to the original persons at any time should they desire to come back. I don't recognize that as being an issue for me personally.
Its against terms of service in american server. (Not chinese server, Iceburn tear is North American server) Read terms and service, dont too long didnt read and scroll down to accept terms and conditions. You cant share accounts in american servers.
@@Ravenwood1972 yea but that’s Neteaze’s doing. blizzard doesn’t have the balls to tell their “partners” that they need to aligned. Not sure what’s been the issue!
@ToastedOJ this is fair , but if anyone believes that this game has much to do with Blizzard outside of the namesake is fooling themselves. I played WoW from Beta and Blizzards ban hammer was swift and unwavering on sold accounts. But even that isn't the case nowadays when so many people want to just throw money at a game to be at the top.
Blizzard/Netease can't string a good event together without game breaking bugs or ripping people off in the process. No way they can or want to police this issue. Plus there's a massive cultural difference when it comes to cheating or "buying" your way, into getting more powerful. The Chinese players will often do everything to get ahead(many games has this problem). Server jumping can be prevented, but they have monetized that as well..chaaachiiing amigos!
I play in EU server The Butcher and this is nothing new, here we have total monopoly from 6 clans that rotate to be immortals, if you want to be immo you got to go to these clans, and is like that from a long way
Pretty much and if you want to be in the clan, you have to invest the time. These main clans have alternative clans for their alts and casual players. My recommendation is that Blizzard somehow increase the frequency of events so that players can engage/adjust quickly. The main event (Sunday night) being the only thing? There's got to be more of this type of content More opportunities = more chances to play. Essentially implement battlegrounds clan matches on Tuesday and Friday!
Agreed with you, stop enabling such shady malpractises. Trash bp skins, lootbox hot garbage cash grabs, cheat to win cape chasing / win trade/ throw rite of exile reigns, broken matchmaking bg where low to mid reso are whale fodder, toxic wc community, sucker simp roe throwing (to- take- immo -cape- turns- next) shadows with alt clans and / or plat miners. Sold accounts xferring from west coast where duped gems were common just to manipulated east coast server markets. Too much bs going on to keep tabs on for legit players who play fair and square
Either way the entire game winds up one sided cus its the easy way.. and there will be done nothing about it unless the whole shadow vs immo stuff would be entirely changed.
I was in your server in hellfire clan and got thus away to let whalers group to keep immortal place at the time im in Queen anne revenge now and the clan moved in another server because of all that
Players using 3rd party hacks like the speed hack should be called out and exposed. They add such a high level of toxicity to the game. It's crazy. 3rd party speed hacks are a real thing. You had a whale on your video talking about it in the past. People using 3rd party hacks and duplicate gems are the biggest problems in this game, in my opinion. If there's a way Blizzard can identify the duplicated gems and just remove them from players who purchased them, It would be a great start. We have people running around with 7k to 9k secondaries due to that. I'm not claiming everybody with 7k to 9k secondaries purchased duplicate gems, I'm just saying it shouldn't be too difficult for Blizzard to identify them and remove them. Account selling, in my opinion, shouldn't be a problem. Temporary account sharing is a problem. Especially with the purpose of getting an advantage in RoE.
Thank you for this follow up vid. Ive been the immortal…cool move on let the whales worry about some cosmetics and a few pcs of gear. Being a shadow for me has always been a better experience for years now.
Im a free to play, but i am not a yapper... I dont envy pay to win players. Let them spend and dominate. Selling or renting accounts are personal transactions, let them be . People are just too jealous on whales... Move on guys.
But AFK farming isn't the same thing as just sitting AFK out there.. and AFK dungeon isn't about auto follow someone in a dungeon.. it's using a third party service to run around killing mobs and doing dungeons to farm stuff and sell.. so for me that is as bad as selling and buying accounts.. Like sitting AFK out in the world isn't against the Terms of Use
If Blizzard is going to allow some players to purchase powerful accounts for pennies on the dollar in violation of the terms of service and do nothing to enforce those terms, then they should allow the honest spenders to get their money back. Otherwise you've just given a competitive advantage in a competitive game to cheaters.
It is illegal for blizzard to be allowing this in Europe...class lawsuit should be launched...then net ease and blizz will have to choose between enforcing their Tos or playing a massive settlement north of 100 million....I'm being serious. Speak to a lawyer. If you want to see the banner hammer enforced, sue
Oooh God. A dark, dark scary story!! Here is some REALLY PRECIOUS ADVICE for you. 1. DO NOT get WORKED UP with stuff you CAN'T CONTROL like builds being nerfed, people selling accounts, server killers and WHATEVER. 2. Just ENJOY! 90% of players CARE LESS with NONE life impacting issues that they can't control like being NERFED; ACCOUNTS BEING SOLD, WHALES roaming in your server. 3. STOP BEING OVERLY OBSSESSED! Who cares if WHALES spend $50,000, who cares if they DOMINATE the server, who cares if they are OP! if your life is OVERTURN by cheaters in your server - SWITCH YOUR SERVER for Diablo sake! You might ALSO want to consult a psychologist for overly obsessive addiction to the game IF you are affected by these under rated DARK STORIES!!
yes bro tt is exactly whats happening immortal whales and their buddy clans in yl'nira server are throwing matches for each other and taking turns to monopolise immortal reign between them, and cheating to ensure the reigning immortal always gets blessed reign by throwing matches for each other. So ugly behaviour, the Immortal mechanic is broken and ridiculously unfair #diabloimmortal #blizzard #netease
I got 0 useful info from this video. Feels like rehashing previous video, just because that one got views and attention. At least you could have given your audience some examples of info that you’ve got from players. No names necessary.
If the video revolved around people breaking ToS to get top spots, I'd get behind it. Blizz/Ease SHOULD enforce the rules of the ToS, or at least inform us on their stance, if it's allowed, let people know so everyone can do it. But, the bulk, and I mean the BULK, of the video was a rant about how in a p2w game, people that spend money get top spots... Like... Huh? You didn't expect that? You somehow missed the p2w aspect of the game while KNOWING the game is p2w? And yeah, where there's money, there's politics. Another "duh" moment right there. Anyway, cool video, clean, don't change scenes this many times, all in all nice job!
This is a clear and unquestionable violation of the TOS. Stop riding the fence Echo! Bro you're a good dude! Take a stand and plant your feet firmly in your integrity and convictions. People who ACTUALLY MATTER will respect you for it. If you're worried about offending Kincaid or his bs minions, then he already owns you. Use your platform and your influence to MAKE A DIFFERENCE man!
TOS is only relevant if the developer actually enforces it. Otherwise it is just a document that the developer uses to give new players the perception their sandbox has rules. Echo cannot make Blizzard/Netease care about enforcing their rules, most of which only apply to N.A. servers.
Honestly, maybe make pay to win servers that people have to compete individually to be on with incentivized rewards for being there. This sucks to hear i feel like immortals should be something everyone has and equal opportunity to experience if you’ve worked hard enough on your account
If you think blizzard and netease are unaware you’re mistaken. You should be careful of posting any names or accounts. These are rich (powerful) people don’t mess with their money
Please don't put everyone in the same boat. Ive been playing this game over 2 years and most of everyone in my circle of friend has NEVER lazy farmed and agree its cheating. I know players who played 2 years and their gear isnt 30 while some 3 month new guys leaving his account on all night while he sleep has rank 30. When it comes to EVERY immortal uses fake accounts. Who are you to say everywhere is like your server? Ive been immortal many time and our clan even stood up to kincaid and refused to put his fake whales he had in our alliance in ROE. Some conpetitve clans are still legit.
Darkworld, as well as ALOT of others, said it best about the screenshot. Even now the backpedaling is almost as long as the initial,"disclaimer" as to , Im not trying to call anyone out although im still posting screenshots of them. The most hypocitical part is that the complaining all while getting tons of "partnership" freebies of 100 crest runs, cos sets and who knows what else lol. Just say, "We lost"....without a, but heres why attached. Cause if thats the case, if i happened to lose to you, or see youre "better" than me, then its only cause bliz built you with freebies and so forth. Sounds childish doesnt it? Geez just enjoy the game and worry about yourself and your B3....Blizzard Bought Build.
so you bring up the issue...yet you want to defend the people breaking the ToS? Throw everyone under the bus equally and let them learn from their mistakes.
@@ECHOGamingDiablonot really. The way you said it you are making it seem like it’s everyone “ok with it”. Quite frankly I’ve been aware of this issue for over a year+ and am fed up with it. There are some of us who do have integrity. This crap needs to stop if the game is ever going to be “legitimate” again. To much back door agreements. Say IGN’s/clan’s for those that are breaking the ToS. What’s the issue and harm of having that? You dam well know this will eventually kill the game…hence your title “server killers”. Grow some balls and get it out already. We all know kinkaid is one of the biggest driving force. I’m aware of a few others as well. So how big is this thing?
There are more legit players who didnt violate ToS than the ones who kinda did. You stand up for those with integrity who never cheated, its way more than just the beanz club. Others uninvolved with their previous server drama are also collateral damage and we have legit whale spenders who played fair square since day one in the merged cluster
@@ECHOGamingDiablo what I meant by you "defending" is that you do not want to '"name and shame'" this is laughable as it effectively defends both parties rather than doing the right thing and getting them banned. Imagine if this was a PC version they'd be banned in a heartbeat on most games. It doesn't matter how much they ''invested'' they are trash that need to learn from their blatant violation of the ToS.
@@Minion9892012you are under the perception the developer doesn’t know the players involved. This abuse is tacitly endorsed by Blizzard’s co-developer. Naming the players does little more than burn bridges between the streamer and the sources he has.
Toxicity is something that has always existed and can get worse at times, depending on the issues happening on the servers. I believe buying and selling accounts should be allowed since the money spent belongs to the person, and in the end, it already happens at all levels, from accounts worth 2k to 10k. NetEase should take over the game globally. There are many updates in China that never made it to the West, and it doesn’t make sense for us not to have access to that content.
Great videos! We know Kincaid is hate watching and probably trying to get the video taken down. Lol😅 He needs to stop preying on young DI girls giving them accounts and focus on himself
Easy solution. Have bliz send lower powered players tons of orbs for 100 crest runs, some free cos sets every month, but that's a pipe dream cause I don't know anyone like that. If I put 100K into my town and decide to sell it for a dollar, that's my choice in my opinion. It's like going to a garage sale and telling someone they aren't allowed to sell this or that for so cheap. Is it being stolen? No. The whole, don't worry about me but this ain't fair " attitude is kinda hypocrisy. I'm sure some feel otherwise but if I see a better player or he beats me in BG, good for him, and if he put out 10K for a 100K toon, even better for him. Enjoy the game for yourself.
On every MMO game there will be guaranteed in-game politics especially with the system like diablo immortal reign and also on every game there always be people that sell and buy accounts That's not only on heavily pay to win game but also in free to play friendly game that don't have pvp aspect on it. In the end the game is supposed to be enjoyable and if you don't find any enjoyment anymore on diablo immortal there will still be lots of games out there.
bro this is how pay to win games are. idk why you guys are shocked but one thing is for sure, diablo loves it and players wont stop. its how pay to win games are. you guys will never stop it. thats just how it is. welcome to pay to win world.
Okay this is a pay to win game right. Yes yes. So people are using their wallets to win . What are we complaining about. “ it’s not fair.”The whole pvp isn’t fair. I just accept that this game isn’t fair. So this isn’t making me made butYou’re mad now !We should have never accepted this sh@t from the beginning. Come on 640000 platinum for a rank 5 level1 quality 5 gem , 19,700 normal gems to rank a normal gem to level 10. We all hate feeling belittled and pay to win will always allow this to happen.
This is completely backwards logic. Yes, it’s a pay-to-win game. It’s also a game. Which means it has rules and regulations that apply to everyone. When someone invests, they do so trusting that the integrity of the game will not be compromised. It’s completely fair… invest and you get more powerful, don’t and you won’t. This is no secret. In this way, the rules are the same for everyone. But when you get into the violation and breaking of terms of service, for the purpose of controlling results within the game, that’s where the issue lies. It destroys the integrity of the outset of rules and alters the outcome of the game entirely. Many wouldn’t have signed up and invested in a game where the rules don’t apply, whether it’s pay-to-win or not.
@@jesseguertin1158Totally agree. Allowing some people to get the same power as others for pennies on the dollar in a competitive game is bs and turns everyone who spent honestly into a bunch of suckers for playing by the rules. Whale account buying is sort of like steroids in sports, it's banned because it provides a way for some to achieve the same results without equal effort, or in this case investment. If Blizzard doesn't enforce their terms of service and ban purchased accounts, then they should provide an option for honest accounts to get their money back.
No no. The legit whales are spending double of what these pilot fake whales using second hand chinese accounts pay up at discounted price or even gifted to said pilot. They dont even grind, just lazily cheat like entitled brats. They steal accounts and dont put in hard effort legit grinders and full price spenders do
if your saying your strong enough to hold it down then there should not be a problem. yall crying so much. theres a reason why its pay to win, if cant hang with the whales go play DIABLO 4. diablo immo will never listen to you guys because honestly the whales keeps the game going. simple as that
Ok. So let see that on this way. You buy car. Or even better someone give car to you. Nothing special. Casual car. And then you put 50k in overhauling it. Then you roll in it. Showing of. And then you decide to sell it because what ever reason. And you telling me i cant do that whit my property? Why?
@@jonathanrider1926 yes. you use your fingers to control your character dont you? same way you use your hand to drive a car. just to be clear i`m not a whale. i`m at 2.5 res. i spent on bp,bop and prodigy path. most of orbs that i get from that i spend on cosmsetics because i dont have and even if i do i would not buy 160 euros worth of cosmetics. But i dont mind if whale spent XYZ amount of cash on his character get bored by it and now he wants to have some cash back. its ok. he spent his money not mine. he can do with that what ever he wants. maybe car was bad example,maybe buying a land is better. you buy land. now but land. you build your own house. you get water,electricity and etc to it and now you cant sell it because someone else feels bad because he didnt do that. you spent your own money not his.
Because it is in the TOS when you create your account. That is the only reason. Ya i would absolutely agree with your reasoning if that wasnt part of the user agreement. When you buy a car they dont have it in writing that you cant resell it.
What are you afraid of bro? We got you. We have powerful people on our side too who show full support to your just cause! Its killing the whole server mood. Not just ice burn tear but servers merged with it worldstone, sandro, malus, last vestige, albrecht, doombringer. Other kincaid clusters! Treasure Goblins, hx eternal conflict meshif, keywardens. Our fate in this game rests on your shoulder coz we are the last of the kincaid resistance left anymore. Only we fairly compete and donot throw shadow rites for these win trading pilot west coast dupe gemming xfers. Drama is a negative connotation for a healthy, open ended discussion with a comnunity you are part as well as representative ambassador of! We want our silenced voices to be heard by the devs who let all of this go unmoderated and wantonly unchecked since launch!
Criticar a venda e compra de contas só pelo fato de ter patrocínio da blizzard é meio que só vestir a camisa da empresa sem se preocupar com os players, afinal, se a conta não fosse vendida, seria -1 player com uma conta mediana/alto nível, players que gastam pouco não sustentam o game, quem geralmente compra uma conta de maior ressonância, geralmente coloca dinheiro pra manter o status e o poder dela, enfim... Hipocrisia apenas.

Which Martin?
as usual the dude cant help but but ramble, so the video starts at 3:00
On my server, Silver Spire, only 2 factions have ever made it to immortal status everyone else is just BG/vault fodder. Every 7 weeks, we change back to shadows/immortal. So the game is really just a grind. Being immortal is not fun anymore once you have achieved immortal status ever other 7 weeks for 2 years now. I feel the game has just run into a wall and is just a money grab for the developers.

Wow this tells a lot that you are turning off comments on the main video bro.....wow.
I love how you look so drained and emotional when talking about this stuff. It's much needed discussion though, so ty :)
Hes drained because he knows he should tell the diablo partners and had over that info but instead he wants it to make more whale friends
@darkworld1989 lolol sure okay 🤡
It's just a game - play if having fun - delete if it's not fun any more! Play casually and have fun!
It's not a game if cheating dominates... That makes it just a platform of abuse. Calling it a game means rules are followed and enforced equally.
Step #1 Play a Game to get away from the occasional drama and have fun. Step #2 Lets have a SERIOUS talk about Drama in the game...
Seriously. DI can be great but the drama, gate keeping and toxicity definitely dampen the vibes.
If they are violating the ToS Blizzard should ban the accounts. I'm confident the people piloting these accounts didn't just start playing the game with an account they purchased. They can play with their legit accounts. If they make buying accounts not a violation it's fine then.

In addition to that, we have, in Brazil, a person, or people, who has created and maintained a huge number of alts and shadow clans to actively mess with the shadow wars. We reported to Blizzard many times, nothing has been done.
I appreciate you, and I'm sure most of the DI community does as well, for exposing this info in detail; however, you said you knew about this for over a year. You were silent about the issue until it landed on your server. Out of curiosity, why expose it now?.... oh, wait .... I just answered my own question didn't I?
Don't sit on info that's clearly a huge problem that keeps getting bigger and bigger just because it isn't affecting you at the time. Here we are - it's on your server, and now you decide it's a problem that needs attention.
Better late than never though. You still have my support for throwing this out there. It needs to end. Nobody needs a 9k+ account to fully experience the immortal part of the game. Unless Kions and Corvus are too much to handle - can't answer all the trivia questions correctly without a few whales in the raid.
Cheers
4:53 I got my kions on our immortals reign. Actually took x3 or 4 I think. Was low back then 900 ish we was echoe.
My dude. You can't straddle that fence forever. There is clearly a side that does things directly against the CONTRACT you agree to when you agree to a games TOS. Stop trying to upset no one while trying to be the good guy
No one's saying to send raids to people's houses. But putting some names on notice will do more to help than vaguely discussing it because you know it's trendy in the community
Stand for nothing.
Fall for anything
Your more worried about burning bridges . Those people aren't the ones who pay you to do youtube and could care less if you exist or not
Your already a diablo immortal partner which makes me take everything u say with grain of salt. And of course your fine with whales overtaking servers. But the average player is uninstalling thus making the whales continuing to pour in thousands of dollars to be the only way for it to survive
Holy hell echo. Expose. Wtf. Worried about $$. I got ya.
Can you spot me 10k for an investment opportunity?
On my server there's an account "Leroy" thats been passed around like a promiscuous girl. 😂
I love Diablo immortal, been playing since day 1, but doesn’t this happen in every game? Oh I got locked out and started over recently as well
Okay I just spoke to Bingo and others. Call us out. We are all about it. You can’t have a hot topic like this and just be like, nope not going to say names or call anyone out. You have our permission. The other side won’t give it. Why do you think? Take a stand for once. In fact being so close to blizzard, wouldn’t you want a fair and equal playing community? I own my account and spent 100k plus on it. This needs to be called out.
Well said fellow adventurer
LMAO!!!
I know of day 1 clans that have accumulated (not bought) high-level accounts because of players leaving and letting "the clan" have use of the account. Call it piloting or what have you , but these accounts stay in clan and are available to the original persons at any time should they desire to come back. I don't recognize that as being an issue for me personally.
I do, it’s against ToS….
Its against terms of service in american server. (Not chinese server, Iceburn tear is North American server)
Read terms and service, dont too long didnt read and scroll down to accept terms and conditions. You cant share accounts in american servers.
@kunoislayr3651 you mention Chinese servers (not on iceburn btw) because China has an entire market for this?
@@Ravenwood1972 yea but that’s Neteaze’s doing. blizzard doesn’t have the balls to tell their “partners” that they need to aligned. Not sure what’s been the issue!
@ToastedOJ this is fair , but if anyone believes that this game has much to do with Blizzard outside of the namesake is fooling themselves. I played WoW from Beta and Blizzards ban hammer was swift and unwavering on sold accounts. But even that isn't the case nowadays when so many people want to just throw money at a game to be at the top.
Banger video man 😎 thanks for the info
Call them out. Period.
Every server cluster should have a team of moderators. Probably not in the budget though.
I stopped spending. Built my own account. F DI.
Good for you, this is da wei. Full support bruvver
Blizzard/Netease can't string a good event together without game breaking bugs or ripping people off in the process. No way they can or want to police this issue. Plus there's a massive cultural difference when it comes to cheating or "buying" your way, into getting more powerful. The Chinese players will often do everything to get ahead(many games has this problem). Server jumping can be prevented, but they have monetized that as well..chaaachiiing amigos!
Don't get how a sever to sell stuff but others can't. Why would it be ok for 1 not the other.
It would be cool to see those interviews one day.
I play in EU server The Butcher and this is nothing new, here we have total monopoly from 6 clans that rotate to be immortals, if you want to be immo you got to go to these clans, and is like that from a long way
Pretty much and if you want to be in the clan, you have to invest the time.
These main clans have alternative clans for their alts and casual players.
My recommendation is that Blizzard somehow increase the frequency of events so that players can engage/adjust quickly. The main event (Sunday night) being the only thing? There's got to be more of this type of content
More opportunities = more chances to play.
Essentially implement battlegrounds clan matches on Tuesday and Friday!
Blizzard sold themselves out and trashed their own reputation with this franchise. Stop giving them your money and things might actually change.
Agreed with you, stop enabling such shady malpractises. Trash bp skins, lootbox hot garbage cash grabs, cheat to win cape chasing / win trade/ throw rite of exile reigns, broken matchmaking bg where low to mid reso are whale fodder, toxic wc community, sucker simp roe throwing (to- take- immo -cape- turns- next) shadows with alt clans and / or plat miners. Sold accounts xferring from west coast where duped gems were common just to manipulated east coast server markets. Too much bs going on to keep tabs on for legit players who play fair and square
agreed, stop enabling shady malpractices and encouraging such scummy gaming norm/ trends.
Asks for screen shots of people using the system then says I'm not gonna expose the people who are making the game unplayable for shadows vs immortal
Either way the entire game winds up one sided cus its the easy way.. and there will be done nothing about it unless the whole shadow vs immo stuff would be entirely changed.
I was in your server in hellfire clan and got thus away to let whalers group to keep immortal place at the time im in Queen anne revenge now and the clan moved in another server because of all that
Am enjoying this game bc of echo fr I can’t let the negativity get to me
Players using 3rd party hacks like the speed hack should be called out and exposed. They add such a high level of toxicity to the game. It's crazy.
3rd party speed hacks are a real thing. You had a whale on your video talking about it in the past.
People using 3rd party hacks and duplicate gems are the biggest problems in this game, in my opinion.
If there's a way Blizzard can identify the duplicated gems and just remove them from players who purchased them, It would be a great start.
We have people running around with 7k to 9k secondaries due to that.
I'm not claiming everybody with 7k to 9k secondaries purchased duplicate gems, I'm just saying it shouldn't be too difficult for Blizzard to identify them and remove them.
Account selling, in my opinion, shouldn't be a problem.
Temporary account sharing is a problem. Especially with the purpose of getting an advantage in RoE.
Thank you for this follow up vid. Ive been the immortal…cool move on let the whales worry about some cosmetics and a few pcs of gear. Being a shadow for me has always been a better experience for years now.
Im a free to play, but i am not a yapper... I dont envy pay to win players. Let them spend and dominate. Selling or renting accounts are personal transactions, let them be . People are just too jealous on whales... Move on guys.
But AFK farming isn't the same thing as just sitting AFK out there.. and AFK dungeon isn't about auto follow someone in a dungeon.. it's using a third party service to run around killing mobs and doing dungeons to farm stuff and sell.. so for me that is as bad as selling and buying accounts..
Like sitting AFK out in the world isn't against the Terms of Use
They have fixed the afk farming they put monster out in those areas that can’t be kills
If Blizzard is going to allow some players to purchase powerful accounts for pennies on the dollar in violation of the terms of service and do nothing to enforce those terms, then they should allow the honest spenders to get their money back. Otherwise you've just given a competitive advantage in a competitive game to cheaters.
Exactly. Especially when some of those accounts are built with credit card fraud and rmt.
It is illegal for blizzard to be allowing this in Europe...class lawsuit should be launched...then net ease and blizz will have to choose between enforcing their Tos or playing a massive settlement north of 100 million....I'm being serious. Speak to a lawyer. If you want to see the banner hammer enforced, sue
Oooh God. A dark, dark scary story!! Here is some REALLY PRECIOUS ADVICE for you.
1. DO NOT get WORKED UP with stuff you CAN'T CONTROL like builds being nerfed, people selling accounts, server killers and WHATEVER.
2. Just ENJOY! 90% of players CARE LESS with NONE life impacting issues that they can't control like being NERFED; ACCOUNTS BEING SOLD, WHALES roaming in your server.
3. STOP BEING OVERLY OBSSESSED! Who cares if WHALES spend $50,000, who cares if they DOMINATE the server, who cares if they are OP!
if your life is OVERTURN by cheaters in your server - SWITCH YOUR SERVER for Diablo sake!
You might ALSO want to consult a psychologist for overly obsessive addiction to the game IF you are affected by these under rated DARK STORIES!!
yes bro tt is exactly whats happening immortal whales and their buddy clans in yl'nira server are throwing matches for each other and taking turns to monopolise immortal reign between them, and cheating to ensure the reigning immortal always gets blessed reign by throwing matches for each other. So ugly behaviour, the Immortal mechanic is broken and ridiculously unfair #diabloimmortal #blizzard #netease
I got 0 useful info from this video. Feels like rehashing previous video, just because that one got views and attention. At least you could have given your audience some examples of info that you’ve got from players. No names necessary.
get kincaid on next video that would be a banger!
If only he would...seems like he has already compromised and silenced echo unfortunately though.
I want my 20 minutes back after listening to this nothing video
If the video revolved around people breaking ToS to get top spots, I'd get behind it. Blizz/Ease SHOULD enforce the rules of the ToS, or at least inform us on their stance, if it's allowed, let people know so everyone can do it.
But, the bulk, and I mean the BULK, of the video was a rant about how in a p2w game, people that spend money get top spots... Like... Huh? You didn't expect that? You somehow missed the p2w aspect of the game while KNOWING the game is p2w?
And yeah, where there's money, there's politics. Another "duh" moment right there.
Anyway, cool video, clean, don't change scenes this many times, all in all nice job!
This is a clear and unquestionable violation of the TOS. Stop riding the fence Echo! Bro you're a good dude! Take a stand and plant your feet firmly in your integrity and convictions. People who ACTUALLY MATTER will respect you for it.
If you're worried about offending Kincaid or his bs minions, then he already owns you. Use your platform and your influence to MAKE A DIFFERENCE man!
TOS is only relevant if the developer actually enforces it.
Otherwise it is just a document that the developer uses to give new players the perception their sandbox has rules.
Echo cannot make Blizzard/Netease care about enforcing their rules, most of which only apply to N.A. servers.
Ban all the pilots
No bleeding Echo only the demons that we kill bleed not us ha ha good morning
Honestly, maybe make pay to win servers that people have to compete individually to be on with incentivized rewards for being there. This sucks to hear i feel like immortals should be something everyone has and equal opportunity to experience if you’ve worked hard enough on your account
This very spooky lol 😂
Amazing ❤
Regulated by blizzard. lol. I love ya echo. But this game is super f’d.
It would be nice if people just was honest and decent.
I play in a non compittion clan i got none of these problems, let the wallet wars do there best.
If you think blizzard and netease are unaware you’re mistaken. You should be careful of posting any names or accounts. These are rich (powerful) people don’t mess with their money
Never would share names or even screenshots. That’s all private with me.
Please don't put everyone in the same boat. Ive been playing this game over 2 years and most of everyone in my circle of friend has NEVER lazy farmed and agree its cheating. I know players who played 2 years and their gear isnt 30 while some 3 month new guys leaving his account on all night while he sleep has rank 30.
When it comes to EVERY immortal uses fake accounts. Who are you to say
everywhere is like your server? Ive been immortal many time and our clan even stood up to kincaid and refused to put his fake whales he had in our alliance in ROE.
Some conpetitve clans are still legit.
Everyone get along❤
that ship sailed back in the la riots
Darkworld, as well as ALOT of others, said it best about the screenshot. Even now the backpedaling is almost as long as the initial,"disclaimer" as to , Im not trying to call anyone out although im still posting screenshots of them. The most hypocitical part is that the complaining all while getting tons of "partnership" freebies of 100 crest runs, cos sets and who knows what else lol. Just say, "We lost"....without a, but heres why attached. Cause if thats the case, if i happened to lose to you, or see youre "better" than me, then its only cause bliz built you with freebies and so forth. Sounds childish doesnt it? Geez just enjoy the game and worry about yourself and your B3....Blizzard Bought Build.
so you bring up the issue...yet you want to defend the people breaking the ToS? Throw everyone under the bus equally and let them learn from their mistakes.
No, All parites are breaking the TOS
@@ECHOGamingDiablonot really. The way you said it you are making it seem like it’s everyone “ok with it”. Quite frankly I’ve been aware of this issue for over a year+ and am fed up with it. There are some of us who do have integrity. This crap needs to stop if the game is ever going to be “legitimate” again. To much back door agreements. Say IGN’s/clan’s for those that are breaking the ToS. What’s the issue and harm of having that? You dam well know this will eventually kill the game…hence your title “server killers”. Grow some balls and get it out already. We all know kinkaid is one of the biggest driving force. I’m aware of a few others as well. So how big is this thing?
There are more legit players who didnt violate ToS than the ones who kinda did. You stand up for those with integrity who never cheated, its way more than just the beanz club. Others uninvolved with their previous server drama are also collateral damage and we have legit whale spenders who played fair square since day one in the merged cluster
@@ECHOGamingDiablo what I meant by you "defending" is that you do not want to '"name and shame'" this is laughable as it effectively defends both parties rather than doing the right thing and getting them banned. Imagine if this was a PC version they'd be banned in a heartbeat on most games. It doesn't matter how much they ''invested'' they are trash that need to learn from their blatant violation of the ToS.
@@Minion9892012you are under the perception the developer doesn’t know the players involved. This abuse is tacitly endorsed by Blizzard’s co-developer. Naming the players does little more than burn bridges between the streamer and the sources he has.
so many servers have been destroyed because of this its not right. you cant play GOD over a game that was designed free to all
Toxicity is something that has always existed and can get worse at times, depending on the issues happening on the servers. I believe buying and selling accounts should be allowed since the money spent belongs to the person, and in the end, it already happens at all levels, from accounts worth 2k to 10k.
NetEase should take over the game globally. There are many updates in China that never made it to the West, and it doesn’t make sense for us not to have access to that content.
Why are comment turned off on your other video about this? What a joke...
After 17 min I habe absolutely Zero Informations what you talking about
You must have missed the prior video
Wish i got my account back for 5k ^_^. Bliz sucks. No one gets banned for trading accounts.
Great videos! We know Kincaid is hate watching and probably trying to get the video taken down. Lol😅
He needs to stop preying on young DI girls giving them accounts and focus on himself
@@Rations282 Homelander needs to read your comment.
Lmfao and sugar baby winty now, fresh sugar daddy prey
Easy solution. Have bliz send lower powered players tons of orbs for 100 crest runs, some free cos sets every month, but that's a pipe dream cause I don't know anyone like that. If I put 100K into my town and decide to sell it for a dollar, that's my choice in my opinion. It's like going to a garage sale and telling someone they aren't allowed to sell this or that for so cheap. Is it being stolen? No. The whole, don't worry about me but this ain't fair " attitude is kinda hypocrisy. I'm sure some feel otherwise but if I see a better player or he beats me in BG, good for him, and if he put out 10K for a 100K toon, even better for him. Enjoy the game for yourself.
Talk about missleading title…
its pvp game. and its p2w. so just quiit move on
On every MMO game there will be guaranteed in-game politics especially with the system like diablo immortal reign and also on every game there always be people that sell and buy accounts That's not only on heavily pay to win game but also in free to play friendly game that don't have pvp aspect on it.
In the end the game is supposed to be enjoyable and if you don't find any enjoyment anymore on diablo immortal there will still be lots of games out there.
👍
bro this is how pay to win games are. idk why you guys are shocked but one thing is for sure, diablo loves it and players wont stop. its how pay to win games are. you guys will never stop it. thats just how it is. welcome to pay to win world.
as a kincaid sycophant would say
Okay this is a pay to win game right. Yes yes. So people are using their wallets to win . What are we complaining about. “ it’s not fair.”The whole pvp isn’t fair. I just accept that this game isn’t fair. So this isn’t making me made butYou’re mad now !We should have never accepted this sh@t from the beginning. Come on 640000 platinum for a rank 5 level1 quality 5 gem , 19,700 normal gems to rank a normal gem to level 10. We all hate feeling belittled and pay to win will always allow this to happen.
This is completely backwards logic. Yes, it’s a pay-to-win game. It’s also a game. Which means it has rules and regulations that apply to everyone. When someone invests, they do so trusting that the integrity of the game will not be compromised. It’s completely fair… invest and you get more powerful, don’t and you won’t. This is no secret. In this way, the rules are the same for everyone. But when you get into the violation and breaking of terms of service, for the purpose of controlling results within the game, that’s where the issue lies. It destroys the integrity of the outset of rules and alters the outcome of the game entirely. Many wouldn’t have signed up and invested in a game where the rules don’t apply, whether it’s pay-to-win or not.
@@jesseguertin1158Totally agree. Allowing some people to get the same power as others for pennies on the dollar in a competitive game is bs and turns everyone who spent honestly into a bunch of suckers for playing by the rules. Whale account buying is sort of like steroids in sports, it's banned because it provides a way for some to achieve the same results without equal effort, or in this case investment. If Blizzard doesn't enforce their terms of service and ban purchased accounts, then they should provide an option for honest accounts to get their money back.
No no. The legit whales are spending double of what these pilot fake whales using second hand chinese accounts pay up at discounted price or even gifted to said pilot. They dont even grind, just lazily cheat like entitled brats. They steal accounts and dont put in hard effort legit grinders and full price spenders do
@@jesseguertin1158SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PILOTS IN THE BACK
Well said Echo well said
if your saying your strong enough to hold it down then there should not be a problem. yall crying so much. theres a reason why its pay to win, if cant hang with the whales go play DIABLO 4. diablo immo will never listen to you guys because honestly the whales keeps the game going. simple as that
Ok. So let see that on this way. You buy car. Or even better someone give car to you. Nothing special. Casual car. And then you put 50k in overhauling it. Then you roll in it. Showing of. And then you decide to sell it because what ever reason. And you telling me i cant do that whit my property? Why?
cars are tangible property. are you saying DI account are tangible property?
@@jonathanrider1926 yes. you use your fingers to control your character dont you? same way you use your hand to drive a car. just to be clear i`m not a whale. i`m at 2.5 res. i spent on bp,bop and prodigy path. most of orbs that i get from that i spend on cosmsetics because i dont have and even if i do i would not buy 160 euros worth of cosmetics. But i dont mind if whale spent XYZ amount of cash on his character get bored by it and now he wants to have some cash back. its ok. he spent his money not mine. he can do with that what ever he wants. maybe car was bad example,maybe buying a land is better. you buy land. now but land. you build your own house. you get water,electricity and etc to it and now you cant sell it because someone else feels bad because he didnt do that. you spent your own money not his.
@ you win.
Because it is in the TOS when you create your account. That is the only reason. Ya i would absolutely agree with your reasoning if that wasnt part of the user agreement. When you buy a car they dont have it in writing that you cant resell it.
This was a nothing video. 😂
Was thinking the same..so ppl are buying and selling accounts...old news...didn't really explain anything else..
Lol “dealt with” ?? Only discussion.. u have dealt with nothing.
Basically, you want me to sit through a 20m vid of trust me bro?! Gtfo man. 😂
Cant expose these people man.
What are you afraid of bro? We got you. We have powerful people on our side too who show full support to your just cause! Its killing the whole server mood. Not just ice burn tear but servers merged with it worldstone, sandro, malus, last vestige, albrecht, doombringer. Other kincaid clusters! Treasure Goblins, hx eternal conflict meshif, keywardens. Our fate in this game rests on your shoulder coz we are the last of the kincaid resistance left anymore. Only we fairly compete and donot throw shadow rites for these win trading pilot west coast dupe gemming xfers. Drama is a negative connotation for a healthy, open ended discussion with a comnunity you are part as well as representative ambassador of! We want our silenced voices to be heard by the devs who let all of this go unmoderated and wantonly unchecked since launch!
Its your duty to expose people that are ruining the game for honest people.@ECHOGamingDiablo
Criticar a venda e compra de contas só pelo fato de ter patrocínio da blizzard é meio que só vestir a camisa da empresa sem se preocupar com os players, afinal, se a conta não fosse vendida, seria -1 player com uma conta mediana/alto nível, players que gastam pouco não sustentam o game, quem geralmente compra uma conta de maior ressonância, geralmente coloca dinheiro pra manter o status e o poder dela, enfim... Hipocrisia apenas.
