Diablo 4 reserves the right to take away your unfair items
Following a Diablo 4 fiasco that saw a handful of players grabbing the game’s most powerful gear using a clever loot trick, Blizzard says it “may need to take action” if certain Diablo 4 bugs or exploits in the future have more dramatic impact.
