In Diablo Immortal, some players are currently unhappy with Blizzard’s decision on how to deal with some cheaters.
In order to be really successful in Diablo Immortal in the endgame and to have the best possible loadout, you have to invest a lot of money in the game’s store and buy the so-called Eternal Orbs. This is a premium currency in Diablo Immortal.
Which cheats are we talking about? It’s about players who bought Eternal Orbs from third party vendors at discounted prices. Some of these players are now in massive debt after trying to cheat Blizzard.
The reason for this is apparently that the purchased Eternal Orbs have been charged back, as reported by some affected players on reddit.
The affected players are now called “Negative Orb Players” (Eternal Orbs), because their “Eternal Orbs” account has a negative amount.
Why is cheating for some players? Negative Orb players have paid noticeably less at third-party vendors than those who purchased Eternal Orbs the normal way.
Since Eternal Orbs play a large part in having a strong character in Diablo Immortal, this non-official route creates an unfair advantage over players who legitimately purchase Eternal Orbs.
So the Negative Orb players have potentially paid less for a strong character than usual and can now use it to perform strongly in Battlegrounds PvP mode.
There are even players on Blizzard’s official forums asking for action to be taken against the third-party vendors:

No ban for cheaters
How does Blizzard plan to crack down on cheaters? Reddit user No_Peace_3031 shared a screenshot of Blizzard writing to him in response to his support ticket about how they are cracking down on so-called “negative orb players”.
According to the screenshot, these players will not be banned, but will have limited gameplay from now on. For example, the affected reddit user paleblood explains that players with a negative “Eternal Orbs” account can no longer participate in group activities.
As an example, paleblood cites joining a group, rifts, and dungeons. However, he also says that Negative Orb players can continue to play Battlegrounds. This is the PvP section of Diablo Immortal.
Players voice criticism for Blizzard not banning cheaters
Why are the players not satisfied? Some players think that Blizzard should ban the “negative orb players”. After all, with the negative orb account, it is clear that they bought from third party vendors at discounted prices and Blizzard should consider this as cheating and punish them, since the players can continue to play PvP.
For example, one reddit user writes, “Why? This is bullshit. If I had known there would be no ban, I would have just bought from third-party sellers.”
Other reactions on reddit include:
- KHRoN via reddit: “Blizzard’s reaction to this situation is the best proof that this game was designed to take money out of players’ pockets and not to make a truly playable game… unfortunately.”
- FerryAce via reddit: “This is an incredibly ridiculous move by Blizzard. If they encourage cheating […], then this game will be dead.”
- No_Peace_3031 via reddit: “Negative Orb players can continue to play the game with the party finder and destroy everyone in Battlegrounds without consequence.”
- Axe-89 via reddit: “So they won’t ban cheaters, […] But you get a permanent ban if you use a spoon or macro for a bit of AFK leveling, makes sense.”
What do you guys say about Negative Orb players not being banned and being able to continue playing PvP? Do you think this is okay or do you think Blizzard should crack down harder? By the way, we asked a lawyer why Diablo Immortal is allowed in Germany despite its heavily criticized mechanics.
