save their Battle Pass voucher to redeem for a future SeasonRhykkerWhen a UI element is designed to trick you into clicking it, it's called a "dark pattern." IMO Blizzard needs to add a confirm button or something if they don't want to be accused of using dark patterns. Simple "confirm" pop-up would fix this.Adam Fletcher

Just had a powwow with people on this post stream. We have a temp fix in the works that will at least ensure the cursor isn’t defaulted there and will instead be defaulted on Season Journey.

Comment by 7upyourzWill this fix take care of people that didn't want to activate the pass for this season?Comment by AgingGamerI'm so glad to hear that we don't have to redeem it for this season. I just don't feel like playing right now and didn't want to waste that premium pass I bought when I pre-ordered.Comment by VegiI'm so glad to hear that we don't have to redeem it for this season.

If you play on console and open the page, it AUTOMATICALLY snaps to and selects the 'activate pass' button.

If you accidentally click, it AUTOMATICALLY and instantly without confirmation buys the premium pass OR activates if you purchased ultimate edition.

This isn't a 'mistake' and obviously intentional.Comment by mychoI'm so glad to hear that we don't have to redeem it for this season.

People just not playing entirely because of this is WEIRD.Comment by KerathrasIt's good that this issue is being resolved, but as with many issues in Diablo 4, the community is left wondering - why are these issues present to begin with?Comment by LedxIt really wasn't that easy to press.Comment by kimgelotteWait...

I haven't started the season as I am busy doing other stuff but ... activating the seasonal battle pass isn't that the point?
