They unlock items you can\u2019t buy with the in-game currency, such as unique cosmetics, crests, bundles, and more. To obtain these precious items, you need to buy them with real money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give you some more perspective, a pack of 60 orbs will cost you around $1, while 7,200 orbs are $100. With players already annoyed at having to pay for anything in Diablo Immortal, they <strong>looked for third parties<\/strong> selling them cheaper. Some sold 7,200 orbs for $10. You can see why Blizzard was disgruntled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Negative 2500000 Eternal Orbs OMG BANNED Diablo Immortal\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iABTBfOWsWQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to some Reddit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/DiabloImmortal\/comments\/x2m98c\/comment\/imkgurr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comments<\/a>, Blizzard has a system in place to prevent this from happening.
