How would you react if you spent $ 10,000 on loot boxes and didn’t get the only item you were looking for?
Quin69, real name Quintin Crawford, has recently been streaming Diablo Immortal to his audience. After embarking on a personal quest to obtain a single legendary five-star gem, Quin injected $ 10,000 into Diablo Immortal to see what would be needed to secure one of the rarest jewels in the game. It’s a big question and an experiment worth doing: how many legendary five-star jewelry should you expect to collect for $ 10,000 from New Zealand?
The answer is no. Not one.
Despite his significant contribution to Blizzard’s coffers, Quin did not get even a legendary five-star gem for his problems.
Quin’s video reacting to the situation has been circulating on social media.

Last week, worrying reports of Diablo Immortal’s aggressive monetization model began to emerge. One of the most important stories involved a projection that players who want to upgrade a post-game character to the highest possible level could expect to spend $ 100,000 to get the job done. Quin’s personal investment seems to confirm that the situation of the fall rate can be really so sad.
As we talked about yesterday, Diablo Immortal needs legendary gems to increase the power of the top level team. They are used to reinforce the stats of the characters beyond what they could gain with the normal game. Legendary jewels are rated from one to five stars. One-star gems are quite common, while five-star gems are the rarest and most powerful. These gems can only be obtained by opening Legendary Crests, random loot boxes and real money game.
The $ 10,000 Quin has spent on the game is thought to be roughly the equivalent of a full year of free progress. When the odds pile up so much against the player, what hope do they have of pushing their character beyond the maximum level?
