Diablo 3 Hotfix: No More Exploiting Low Level Rifts for Blood Shards

May 15, 2014 by Ian Miles Cheong

Blizzard has implemented a fix to prevent further exploits of the Nephalem Rifts.

After yesterday's 2.0.5 update to Diablo 3, the game's developers at Blizzard have implemented a livefix that aims to fix a number of issues that cropped up with the release of the patch. 

Notably, some players were using level 1 T6 Nephalem Rifts to farm Blood Shards. To that end, Level 70 heroes will now receive a greatly reduced amount of Blood Shards from playing in sub-Level 70 games so they won't be able to exploit the game any longer.

Here are the fixes Blizzard has listed:

Heroes below level 70 will now receive less Blood Shards from Nephalem Rifts than level 70 characters.
