None of us are strangers to the micro-payment system that quickly entered our lives. This system, which has become a headache especially in mobile games, has started to be introduced into our throats in recent years, so to speak. In Diablo Immortal, which Blizzard has been working on for a long time and has officially released recently, a headache-making discovery has been made.
As you know, Diablo Immortal also includes micropayments. Although the game is free (F2P), players who want to improve their items have to do so by paying money. The Bellular Games team on YouTube discovered that players had to spend $100,000 to improve all their items.
The reason why the game has become pay-to-win is the items called “Legendary Gem”. The levels of these items, which we know from Diablo 3, are determined by stars in Immortal. In order to reach this item, you need to drop it from special equipment called “crest”. According to research, F2P players can drop 2 or 3 legendary crests per month. In this way, they can enter the rifts (dungeons) where you can drop 3 times.
To get to the aforementioned items more quickly, you can buy a $ 100 package with 45 legendary crests. But remember, the level of the legendary gems that will fall from these rifts is determined completely randomly. So there is a possibility that you will not be able to drop a 5-star gem in 45 of 45 rifts.

According to the total calculations, you need exactly 1,000 gems to bring your character’s items to the final level. That means you have to buy about 20,000 crest. The total cost of these crests is $ 50,000. Of course, the process does not end there…
If you want to take your gems to the next level – which allows for cosmetic changes and unlocking new features – you’ll need to spend another $50,000 for that. If you don’t want to spend money, it can take up to 10 years to collect the necessary items…
