Diablo 4 players have been requesting for a loot filter for a while, and officials have assured that this is part of their planned updates. Elemental resistance is also expected to undergo changes, as many believe that they do not work the way they are intended to.

Recently, a Twitter user enquired about the probability of a loot filter being added to the game. This is one of the aspects that irked many, as its absence is making them pick unwanted items by accident.
