The hosts of the YouTube channel Bellular News crunched the numbers and discovered that it would cost players around $110.000 to fully upgrade their equipment in D2R Items Ladder. some questioned the legitimacy of their assertions. If the experience with Twitch streaming player Quin69 are an indication the doubters might have actually been right however not in the way that some of them were hoping for.

The streamer from New Zealand received attention after spending over $4.000 playing D2R Ladder without getting a single Legendary 5-Star Gem. Despite his massive losses However, Quin69 remains determined to obtain one of these rare items and continues to put in real money in the game, though in vain so far. At the final part of his most recent stream, he was able to surpass yet another unlucky and incredible achievement.

Some may be wondering why a player would spend an amount of money playing games without receiving one of its most sought-after items, particularly as most modern gacha games incorporate an auto-pity pull system that instantly awards rare items when an amount is spent. It's funny, but D2R Ladder does actually feature a pity pull mechanic in a way. This only guarantees a ?/5 5-Star Legendary Gem, though, with only a 1 per cent chance of it being part of the 5/5 5-Star Legendary Gems that Quin69 as well as several other players crave.

While it's possible to play without spending any money, the predatory game's microtransactions have been a source of anger for many players. D2R Ladder has already garnered numerous negative reviews on Metacritic. This has led in an overall User Score that is just 0.5 to the iOS version. As of now, on Reddit certain fans are calling for all references to D2R Ladder to be removed out of the Diablo subreddit.

With this in mind it's hard to see which way Activision Blizzard could ever fully restore the trust of Diablo fans regardless of whether the publisher were able to somehow alter the balance of D2R Ladder to be less pay-to-win. Many of the veterans of the series have deleted the game that is free to play, and with a recent job description suggesting there's a possibility D2R Ladder may have the same issues as buy d2r items Ladder when it finally hits store shelves and is expected to launch, it's quite possible that some of them could be leaving this long-running series.
