[@MrGilfred]

In all honesty I will say it again here for this video if I were a content creator for Immortal and a Diablo partner. If I could clearly see that Blizz wasn't enforcing their ToS rules when it is clearly needed. Then I would leave Immortal along with severing my partnership with Blizz telling them I cannot conscientiously continue as a content creator for Immortal and support Immortal as long as the behavior of some of the players in the game continues. It is like the bad apples are controlling you Blizz the owner of the game. Nor could I promote the game anymore either. I would put all videos that I made concerning the game on private. Then make a video stating why they went private and why I can no longer play Immortal nor promote it, even though as a game it is a good game. The whole thing is with some people they are saying how dare you bring this to light. Let us keep doing as we please as much as we please with impunity for we are above the ToS of Blizz or any other game company, which is probably how they feel about the matter. Much like how others in the real world feel that they are above the law and should be treated as such. I would also want the same as far as playing a game that is both fair along with an even playing field for all. Where everyone is playing by the rules. Like I said above that is why I would leave a game as a content creator and maybe even as a non content creator if I feel that the same problems that are in the given servers that were listed had a chance at migrating to my server Burning Hells. This is just one reason why I am glad that I quit Immortal a little over a month ago when Path of Exile 2 Early Access became available to play. I would dare say that I don't think that Blizz will do anything concerning the problems with WoW along with Immortal's problems. It gives me a pause to wonder do I want to even bother firing up Diablo 3 or Diablo 2 Resurrected. Even though those two games are not likely gonna be touched by the same level of problems that WoW and Immortal has. It i just that they are connected to Blizz. Their terms of service will be, for some people a paperless tiger. That is what concerns me the most.

The fact threats being made over pixels is beyond crazy to me making money or not grow up and get a real job

[@Niphrentil]

Lives have been lost and will continue to do so over football teams....

[@angeloconstantino7165]

When did we loose sight of playing video games is suppose to be fun. A chance to escape our duties in daily life for a little bit to unwind and maybe make some friends along the way. Sure people can be competitive but the competitiveness is left when the games over. Why do people have to make something that’s fun into a thing of torment.. People need to think back and remember as to why we play video games to begin with ..

[@hectorvalle2817]

When is the druid coming?

[@Ashahalasin]

June/Julyish i'd wager.

[@leofilmz7155]

If it’s like Tempest maybe late May.

[@richardmorris1434]

This ur first blizzard game? Lmao. All blizzard games r built on this type of toxicity, blizz wont do anything bc they make money off that.

[@joshkrause2977]

No that’s the players not blizzards evil plan…

[@Niphrentil]

So, Hearthstone that doesn't even have chat and all other Diablo games that have a chill and helpful community are not Blizz games? Or did they miss the memo? 🤔🙃

[@solinari4101]

I heard that the whole server transfer, account thing is between only a few ppl chasing each other. If thats true... sad. My take on this is if you're breaking ToS and making backroom deals, what other stuff are you doing IRL? Someone bringing it up, or calling those ppl out that "make this their job" where do you get off making threats on those ppl? It's you doing the bannable offense. Deal with it. On another note, those same ppl seem to have killed the market on sapphire gems on our cluster. hopefully it will rebound.

[@bergeraj79]

Yes Beanz and Kindaid

[@pssa3215]

Blizzard is rotten

[@moeothman8125]

Not only this issue, but there's always something left to be improved, for example unbanning those got banned for no reason at all..

[@bhvrd]

There has to be a power struggle to be able to allow the community to help others rise up, you right on wanting a healthy community, at the end of the day that's what's all about. Lets all work for the same goal. Working together makes it work.

[@brothercaptainmundo]

I remember killing and camping bots during Burning Crusades release. It was fun in short bursts. I couldn't imaging making a channel dedicated to killing bots. WOW.

[@sandrabuell4820]

Contrary to the last Comment , I want to thank you and encourage you to keep add it because not everyone is aware of these issues . Content Creators being threatened , the game being compromised by accounts being bought and traded … Blizzard can’t turn a blind eye for good because they’re dealing with a shitstorm of complaints. Our Clan is in full support !

[@Zhef77]

I was hunting bots and farmers in WoW back in the og vanilla before the first xpac came out. Like he said this has been going on for over 15 years and it only gets worse. Blizzard enables and profits from this broken system. Its a cash cow. Only way to fix it is to not give them any money and let them feel the pain where it actually huts. Stop expecting them to change when u know damn well from the past 2 decades they wont until its no longer profitable.

[@mozzarellaarc]

If RMT eventually be legal, does it mean i have to deal with taxes inside the game? not to mention dealing with IRS at a global level that doesn't look fun, also the boters, cheaters etc. will be in absolute beast mode when Bliz allows RMT

[@jtcustomknives]

How epic would it be for blizzard to make a FTP only server. Let the whales fight them selves and let the rest of us be left alone

[@mb8317]

Unfortunately no matter what game it is, there's going to be some sketchy things going on. I'm just here to enjoy game in the end not fight the war on terror.

[@sandrabuell4820]

But if it’s preventing me from becoming IMO cause someone is controlling the game and you either lick their boots or be shunned and it’s …. who got the bigger wallet versus who earns it then it becomes my war

[@antonangelov3855]

If Blizzard actually open up buying fully developed characters, that would be the funniest sh*t ever. "Give us some money, so you don't have to actually play and grind the game." LOL

[@bergeraj79]

I think he means if you wanted to sell your account blizzard will help transfer for a fee probably a hearty 1.

[@TheProgressDI]

Easy fix on all of it , all gems get no value in SW,Rite or brawl everyone set to stats from gear! Then even weaker but active clans will be something to look out for :) Will become better comunity and good team buildings. Whales will still smash battlegrounds,CRifts and gauntlets.

[@Royst_Draryce]

At the end of the day, the ones reaping all the rewards amongst all these are Blizzard and Netease. Even if the game gets shut down, they have already earned a lot of money, so it's a win for them regardless the outcome.

[@MrGilfred]

Yeah in the short haul, but if they wanted the game to stick around for 10+ years then Blizz should've adopted a monetization model closer to Genshin Impact where you have no pay to win along with caring about enforcing their rules in a timely, fair and consistent manner. If they done that then I say that they would have more people playing and even more content creators that left would still be playing Immortal. So only getting around $1.5-maybe $2 billion as opposed to $5-$6 billion from Immortal for adopting Impact's monetization and enforcing their terms of service.

[@Kat0717]

So the best way to fix the problem is boycott blizzard. Which will never happen. Stop the server take overs that's the only fix that needs to be addressed. Instead of 30 days cool down make it 3 months.... gg Echo keep the peace.

[@Empyrean83]

SMH. Blizzard seems like it this way.

[@mattphillis8527]

Should go the route of square enquinx games remove all chat in all games, an only use preprogrammed chats or emojis

[@Niphrentil]

Ok, first time I made this comment it disappeared so I'll give it another try. The biggest mistake everyone here is making is thinking you're playing a Blizzard game. You're not. You're playing a NetEase game!! Sure, Blizzard has the power to stop what is going on but they don't care about this game! Blizzard just needed a Chinese partner so they can get access to the Chinese market to sell their products. That's what this game is. So, Blizzard doesn't care about this game and NetEase doesn't care what happens in their games. That's all there is. That's why everything is happening (at least in this game, can't speak about other Blizz products).

[@SweatyPVPness]

Blizzard hates the legit spender and the legit players... 100% we all know now thanks.

[@duke416]

There is a black market for jewelry and platinum do you think that is fair? while the honest person buys legitimately is at a disadvantage and netase does nothing about it, game abandoned

[@davidwrong1933]

2 months ago I told echo about necros farming afk 24/7 and he made a video about ooh there is no problems with necros cause he was a necro also. Grow some balls

[@DKhonGaming]

The WoW video. Those bots are farming millions USD worth of gold.

[@zandrowabe240]

No more blizzard sponsored videos for you

Sadly I never had a blizzard sponsored video. Lol

[@LauraCastro-df1cn]

😣 I just want to have fun while I play, 😒

[@happyfcekilla]

I still can't even beat Diablo because he keeps freaking resetting

[@munge344]

Some people need to open their eyes and figure out what they are messing with. Imagine that you have drug dealers in your city(illegal activity). And you decide that you want to play detective and turn in those drug dealers to the cops. You know what those drug dealers would do to you back. That’s what happening in those games. Even if it’s illegal you’re messing with their income like turning in a drug dealer. I’m not saying that’s good or bad. Not taking a side.but you can’t play detective and be shocked when it comes back to bite you in the @$$

[@xxxreadxxx12]

Imagine being scared of scammers who aren't even in this country.

[@Shentao83]

Not taking a side... so between drug dealers and detective you remain... neutral?

[@munge344]

@ I could care less what other people do in the game. So no I’m not taking a side. I’m using the drug dealers:detective analogy to compare with what’s going on in game and how that compares to real life

[@TheChadTI]

NEVER go to the cops for any organized crime (of any kind).

[@xrisku]

I was approached by a gem botter in DI who explained his RL situation to me and why he sticks close to Voldemort. I was not threatened, but it was clear to me he wanted me to back off because he was concerned about money coming out of his pocket. So while not as ugly, yes the gem botters in DI will reach out to you if they feel threatened.

[@MatadorAV]

They may be comfortable with this but I wonder how comfortable they are with the fact that since April 2024 this game has lost more that 1 million monthly players (on average). LE when I say this game I mean DI.

[@sgoodman72]

1 million monthly players...lol. There is nowhere near that number of people still playing this game dude.

[@OmegaRomik]

Blizzard will fight back we believe in em!

[@weedzonthebus6301]

All sort of games they are somewhat called account selling.

[@farmerdva361]

Are you insane!? To make legal selling accounts and earn real money? This will bring more shady people in game to exploit this and make profit!!!

[@ECHOGamingDiablo]

I dont see it that way at all. I think doing this will allow people to get out of accounts and into competitive accounts without risk and out of a shady atmosphere.

[@joey6607]

​@ECHOGamingDiablo so what about the people that did everything legit and paid blizzard every dollar for thier orbs. Dont you think if this gets implemented there should be refunds for the legit spenders?

[@theonlyrico9799]

I have been following your content ever since quitting the game after dethroning your clan back when you became the first immortals. ( I was the second immortal of the server ;) ) But I will forever support you because you are one of the best content creators on youtube!

[@stefanzadura866]

Let him cook!!! Yea Echo!

[@kunoislayr3651]

Yes agreed. Watch "activision blizzard is a bad company" by actman and " the darkside of gaming industry DI reaction" by asmongold. Blizzard should be ashamed for "crunching" employees. I agree, it is not okay we must try not to get toxic competitive and be good people. And chances are blizzard cares more about money it makes from businessmen bots than low spending casual immortals like us trying to get a free ride in blessed reigns that has been covertly monetized by 20k$ lease? Isn't that why misery got kicked to bringing to much needless spotlight? What blew my mind in comments section was that these mafia will harass others to quit the game so they can buy the leavers account for cheap and make their pilot business stronger lol Wow, its all on activision blizzard now to enforce their own tos, i am not gonna bother talking to walls by filing complaints they wont listen coz money talks and BS walks. Its just like in real life, capitalistic society rules. Rich become richer and vis a vis. So I am gonna let go of stuff beyond my locus of control with the serenity prayer and enjoy the f2p aspects it has to yet offer.

[@xrisku]

It's Microsoft. Activision is out the picture for well over a year now.

[@adamsemere]

Man😢 this is bad.

[@FoMobileGaming]

I don't understand why buying/selling accounts is so controversial. If someone starts the game and spends $10k or buys an already stablished account for $10k, it's the same thing. They still have a $10k account. Seems like the only people against it are the people that can't afford it, but they're also the people that complain about the game being p2w. Find a new game if that's the case or, instead of spending time complaining, spend that time grinding and building your account and stay in your lane. Stop worrying about everyone else, it's their money and they can do what they want with it. But it is also against terms of service, so let them assume the risk of losing their money if/when the account gets banned. It's like Facebook, you can spend all day looking at what everyone else is up to, or you can get off Facebook and concentrate on yourself and build yourself up.

[@redeyedjedeye949]

No. The problem is that someone pays $10k for a 10k reso account. That same 10k reso account in game requires $100k for another in game to achieve. So for one player that money is of no concern doesn’t mind dumping it for dirt cheap where as the player who does put in the money to earn it legitly feels robbed. It is pretty rude honestly.

[@FoMobileGaming]

@@redeyedjedeye949 "feels robbed". Nobody cares about feelings. If someone spent $100k to "earn it legitly", that was their choice. Nobody forced them. It's also a choice to buy an account and risk it being banned and losing the money. And who is to say they spent $100k before selling their account? Maybe they did some shenanigans like susanexpress and didn't have to spend $100k. Or they're a content creator and used it as a business expense for tax purposes. And if they did spend $100k and sold it for $10k 3 years later, they wasted 3 years to lose $90k. If you spent $100k to get 10k reso and then someone paid $10k for 10k reso, sure, you might be upset you didn't know that was an option or didn't think to do it. But again, you're worried about what someone else is doing and not concentrating on you and your account. You wouldn't think it was rude if you stayed in your lane and didn't know about it or didn't care.

[@johncorben6576]

Keep doing a good job!!

[@jesseguertin1158]

This has nothing to do with “good or bad people.” This is a competitive game. It’s more about “cheaters and non-cheaters.” I don’t care so much about the quality of the person, I care about the integrity of the in game results and how they effect my honest play within the game. You could be the greatest person in the world, but if you’re cheating, you’re being selfish. You’re taking away oppurtunity from others so that you can find fake success.

[@crazymofo8024]

Well said

[@Niphrentil]

Viewing a p2w game as "competitive" is just plain wrong. Everyone knows, ever since the first step they took in the game, that the strongest players would be the ones who cash in the most. And, just like in RL, doing illegal stuff brings you further ahead than going "by the book". So no. It DOES come down to "good or bad people'. Or, more accurately "those who are willing to do whatever it takes to be at the top and those who do not".

[@jesseguertin1158]

I’m sorry you’re broke brother. Either that or you are one of those people that complain about pay to win because you don’t want to invest and support the game. You want everything for free. Everything I stated stands. Just because people invest real money, doesn’t make it any less competitive. If anything, it makes it MORE competitive. People are investing real life hard earned cash, and can’t just not shower and sit in their mom’s basement and out-level and out-gear everyone. It takes the ability to hold a job down and also understand the intricacies of the game. Cheating is cheating. People are investing and expect the rules to be upheld. If they are not, that is what you call “cheating.” Like in any game or sport, cheaters are frauds. This isn’t real life where people cheat to get ahead, this is a game and when you cheat, you gain nothing but fake results; taking away from those trying to earn them the real way.

Bro this the culture in all games… if you can’t handle the heat then get out of the kitchen… Also, I just ignore the toxic comments and people, it’s that simple. I don’t go out of my way to engage or policing people when I’m only here to play the game. I’m tired of content creators going on and on pointing out the obvious flaws of the gaming community. It’s a given facts, but I’m here for information on what’s new and interesting that I can share with others to improve their gaming experience. I’m sad to say this type of content serves no one.
