HOTFIX UPDATE - April 10, 2025

Bug Fixes


Fixed an issue that allowed players to earn more

than intended when selling items.

This appears to be a server-side fix. The
Gold
/selling bug is still available on Offline Single Player

I'm willing to accept other forms of currency. Like Tokens, Keys,
Perfect Gems
, and certain minor runes in lieu of my asking price. I'm also willing to accept rune combinations that add up to my asking price.

I heard that this was abused by bots (big surprise), who could fill up on on-character
Gold
in the fraction of a second. And then thousands of bots doing it… basically overwhelming the servers with bursts of buy/sell-requests.

I'm in CET (Central European Time), so that's UTC+1 normally and UTC+2 during DST.
My profile says Ladder, but I play both Ladder and Non-Ladder.
My profile says Softcore, but I play both Softcore and Hardcore.
My Holy Grail Tracker is for Offline Hardcore.

Interesting didn't know about this bug. Is it tough to execute? Asking for a friend...

It's no longer possible to execute. Well, offline it is, from what I hear.

There's a video from Coooley from over a year ago that describes how it works:



Curiously, someone posted about it on Reddit a little over a week ago, perhaps bringing attention to it. But I dunno how Blizzard never saw Coooley's (or anyone else's) video about it for so long...

Thanks @ShadowHeart . Crazy how old the bug is.

I guessed a game password once (easy guess, it was
Gold
///
Gold
) and
Lo
and behold it was a bot auto selling one of those grinding affix items in A1.

This is a good patch.

Confirmed. Offline is functional; online was indeed patched.

They could just adjust the selling price of wielded weapons instead of making an error message, but better than nothing I guess.
