Blizzard slams the emergency button, shuts down all Diablo 4 trading after a Season 5 dupe exploit lights the economy on fire

Diablo 4 Avarice.

Somewhere in Blizzard HQ, a janitor is presumably sweeping up shards of glass after someone on the Diablo 4 development team finally had good reason to slam the big red button in a case labeled "in case of emergency, break glass." Blizzard has temporarily disabled trading in Diablo 4 on the heels of a Season 5 exploit that flooded the in-game economy with countless duped items. 

Community manager Adam "PezRadar" Fletcher confirmed Blizzard's response in a forum post earlier today: "We will be disabling trading in Diablo IV while we investigate a possible duplication issue. We apologize for the disruption and will provide updates on when we will have trading available again once we further investigate and identify any issues we need to resolve."
