Diablo 4 Players Want Summoning Materials Removed

Summary

Diablo 4 players want Blizzard to remove summoning materials to reduce the number of dupers and eliminate the issue of real money trade.
Players suggest that endgame bosses should be killable repeatedly for drops, similar to Diablo 2, without the need for summoning materials.
Extra preparation, such as consuming elixirs and obtaining poison resistance, is necessary to survive against the strongest endgame boss, Echo of Duriel.

Many Diablo 4 players are asking Blizzard to remove summoning materials because grinding them is so tedious at the moment. After unlocking World Tier 3 and 4 in the game, Diablo 4 players will collect items, including Shards of Agony, Mucus-Slick Eggs, and Living Steel, to summon endgame bosses that offer a real combat challenge. These summoning materials are gathered from Tree of Whispers, World Bosses, Tortured Gifts in Helltides, and high-tier Nightmare Dungeons.

Aside from world bosses and elite enemies, there are endgame bosses in Diablo 4, which can be summoned using rare materials. These five creatures, Echo of Varshan, Beast in Ice, Duriel, Grigiore, and Lord Zir, require some prior preparation, as they are much stronger than enemies encountered in the overworld and lower-tier dungeons. Perhaps it would be wise to consume elixirs to have extra survivability or damage. Thankfully, endgame bosses drop a number of ancestral items players can utilize to upgrade their builds.

One Diablo 4 player known on Reddit as hanckerchiff created a thread and called Blizzard to remove summoning items from the game. They argue that doing so would reduce the number of dupers, those who utilize boss material duplication glitches to have an unfair advantage. Besides, RMT (real money trade) for these materials will no longer be an issue, as dupers usually use RMT sites to sell them. Many players in the comments supported hanckerchiff's idea, with some claiming that it's so boring having to complete Diablo 4's Nightmare Dungeons and other activities to farm summoning materials.

Diablo 4 Players Call Blizzard to Remove Summoning Materials

Fellow Diablo 4 players indicated that, like in Diablo 2, they should be able to kill these endgame bosses over and over for drops without needing to use summoning materials. It remains to be seen if Blizzard will make the necessary changes to them in a future update.

Among all endgame bosses, Echo of Duriel is by far the strongest due to its incredible poison damage. Therefore, players need to get extra poison resistance from elixirs and their items to survive this monstrous creature. Not only does Duriel inflict a reasonable amount of damage with its pincers, but it also summons smaller enemies that spit poison buds.

Diablo 4 recently released the Season of Construct, which brought a mechanical companion that helps players in skirmishes. As usual, the new season added a number of dungeons and introduced an overworld activity, called Arcane Tremors, which requires players to collect Cores and take out Elite enemies to get rewards. According to the schedule, Diablo 4's third season will conclude on April 16.
