This of course has huge repercussions as players can effectively ‘farm’ hardcore modes with ease. So far there has been no comment from Blizzard. This could damage the auction house markets.
Both the gold and real money auction houses rely on those unforgiving loot drop rates, which increase in higher difficulty modes as an incentive to play them.
How does one manipulate the forces of the game world to achieve God status?
Step 1: Select Teleport - Fracture. Bind it to a key
Step 2: Select Archon, tested with Improved Archon
Step 3: Hover your mouse over or near your character
Step 4: Press Teleport
Step 5: QUICKLY(!) Press Archon
That morsel of infernal knowledge came from a poster on the official Battle.net forum. Blizzard is likely to jump this pretty quick given how easily the auction houses could be flooded with hardcore loot. Yes the real victim here is capitalism. I’m sure there’ll be a few more Wizard characters on the Battle.net servers real soon.
