Does anyone know if blizzard has said anything about looking for a way to get rid of hacked items? That would be awesome but when I look it up online there is not one word from them.
They replied in the q&a. They are limited in what they can do because of the network limitations to affect hackers. They said they tweaked something with the leg gems but didn't say what.
I think Blizzard is kind of encouraging cheating on the console, or at the very least they aren't concerned. They increased the max Grift to 150 on patch 2.3 even though no one was legitimately even doing the former max of 100. I've seen vids of people going up 90 paragon levels one 150 Grift run! That's bonkers, but ultimately harmless with no competition modes. If hackers are having fun, let em. They'll only bother you if you let them.
They tweaked LG to cap at 5 APS...which is utterly pointless.
Console D3 multiplayer is ruined....shared EXP kills public games and duping now means people have infinite mats for reforging.
Saw one guy broadcast where he created a new character, one shot levelled him to 70 with a modded weapon then crafted rares of each slot and simply upgraded them until he got the pieces he wanted...if he ran out of mats he simply duped more....he then reforged the pieces he had until he got entire ancient versions then he enchanted them to get perfect rolls.
So in an hour he went from Level 1 to a Level 70 character with a fully kited out gear for a high end build....without ever leaving the town.
Ruined and pointless....people on consoles are now not playing D3, they are play K3...they play the cube.
Its not just consoles that are affected by the Cube, this game is no longer about finding gear.
How is it ruining it for anyone though? I really don't get the butthurt over what others do with the game. Play how you want to play. I don't own a console, but if I did, this wouldn't bother me at ALL. So what if others want to cut to the endgame without the joy of finding new items. They miss out on the journey, and that is what they do with the game that they paid money for.

To be honest, I agree with you. D3 requires *alot* of grinding. Plenty of people on my friends list dup to a certain degree, as it allows them to defeat the hours of rng grind that is inherent in the game. Time that many people just don't have. They don't run modded gear and enjoy pushing the limits of their characters in Greater Rifts just the same as fully legit players.
However I do think it can be very risky for new players who don't know about hacked 10K players as they can find themselves getting massively boosted before they have even had a chance to decide how they want to play the game. It can ruin the experience for them before they ever really got started causing them to simply quit D3 for something else -I've seen it happen.
What I'd like to see is the ability to "filter out" players who are (x) paragon levels higher (or for that matter lower) than you, so that they simply can't join your games, and you can't join theirs.
It happened to my brother, he joined a friend and in a blink of an eye he was 10k paragons.
What we do now is only playing local or with like you said, friends that have under 10K paragons lol. He also didnt spent all his paragons, he is spending it the same way i am spending mine, trying not to be effected by his friend's hacking style hahaha.
I actually dont care about hacked items more than I care about not having my profile linked to battlenet. I would love having it working on consoles.
P.S: Sorry for my english guys, it is not my native language.
Good ideas there, and if I had to guess, they'll do something similar in the future. My guess is not paragon levels, but max blood shard count. It more clearly shows what Grift you have done. They are talking about integrating some sort of console seasons, so they'll have to do something then, maybe online only character saves for seasons only?

Feeling sad because there is no Portuguese to be chosen on the language box lol.
Console has always had hacked items and such. What is different? Now cheaters are slightly stronger? Who cares.
