Player creates clan in Diablo Immortal for real money, reportedly gets kicked out without warning

Although there is loud criticism of Diablo Immortal, the new MMO can apparently attract many players. One of them has now encountered a problem with one of the features: Factions. Upon entering one, he was expelled from the clan he founded himself.

• The user mrcaruthers writes down redditthat he created a clan in Diablo Immortal for real money.
• However, after completing a quest, he was reportedly kicked out of his own guild without warning.
• Behind the problem is probably a game mechanic from Diablo Immortal: two factions that are in an eternal battle with each other.

How did the expulsion happen? The kick is related to the player having joined the Shadows, one of the factions of Diablo Immortal. The quest to join the faction is available to players of level 43 and above.

Since the shadows are a special faction in the game, you must leave your current clan or convert it to a shadow clan entirely.

mrcaruthers says he wasn’t told and support wasn’t helpful either. He was simply kicked out of the clan.

Blizzard’s response was that since this is in-game currency, a refund is not possible. The problem now entails a lengthy discussion.

Factions make clans confusing

What other players say: There is now a discussion about the game mechanics in the thread. Actually, there is a warning as soon as you join the shadows. This is a semi-permanent decision and at least as a basic member there is a hint that the whole clan has to change.

Some players suspect that this is not the case with clan leaders like mrcaruthers. Blizzard’s answer also surprises some players, because gold is the issue here.

Founding a clan in the beta still cost gold, a pure game currency. However, now she needs platinum. This can be earned or bought with real money, as in the case of mrcaruthers.

However, it has happened to some that people from their clan fly out without warning or because they didn’t pay attention. Some suspect that many just type “okay” without reading the warning carefully. A clearer indication is appropriate, however, find other users.

If you’re thinking about joining the Shadows, you should definitely leave your clan beforehand, or make sure everyone moves together.

Why does a clan actually cost real money? Clans are one of Diablo Immortal’s MMO features that emphasize the game’s focus on social aspects. Up to 100 like-minded players should come together here and fight together in dungeons, raids or PvP.

Groups are necessary for much of the game’s content, especially from the maximum level of 60.

The payment model is already under criticism, especially the discussion about legendary gems in Diablo Immortal. Now there are apparently also problems with the systems in the game, which are not supposed to be transparent enough.

mrcaruthers’ post is currently one of the strongest on the Diablo Immortal subreddit, with 880 upvotes and 320 comments (as of June 8th, 9am). However, another discussion dominates even more: the one about Pay2Win and above all how much the players are annoyed by the complaints:
