The biggest problem? Everything in the Reliquary system that can be unlocked with Favor Tokens can also be bought outright with Diablo IV Gold Platinum. As pointed out by Reddit user Loika, this design effectively creates a situation where the game constantly tempts players with the faster, paid route. Worse, the game’s user interface pushes the Platinum purchase option to the forefront. One example shows a cosmetic armor set available for 15 tokens or 750 Platinum (around $7.50), with the Platinum purchase button prominently displayed and no confirmation screen to prevent accidental purchases.

This lack of a confirmation prompt has become a major point of contention, particularly when it comes to accidental spending. One click-especially if you’re moving quickly through menus-can instantly deduct real money from your account. While this is concerning on PC, the situation is arguably worse for console players.

A post from another Reddit user revealed that controller input behavior changes during the reward-claiming process. Initially, pressing the left face button triggers the “Claim” action, but as you proceed, the same button becomes tied to “Buy with Platinum,” while “Claim with Favor Token” shifts to another button. It’s a subtle change that’s easy to miss-and easy to exploit, as some players believe.

Beyond the confusing and risky interface, players have also taken issue with how bundles are structured. Blizzard offers three premium Reliquaries per season. Individually, each costs 500 Platinum. All three can be bought together for 1,500 Platinum-or so it seems. Hidden away is a special “Battle Pass Bundle” that includes all three Reliquaries for just 1,000 Platinum. This is clearly the best deal, but there’s a catch: if a player purchases even one Reliquary on its own, they are no longer eligible for the bundle discount. Instead, they must pay full price for buy D4 Gold the remaining two, costing them an extra 500 Platinum, or roughly $5.
