Softcore Vs. Hardcore. Can we put it to rest?

If a players skill is measured on the amount of deaths that player experiences, then i don't really see the point of playing the game..i can just stay in town and don't die..since that's what matters.

It's an ARPG. RPG's aren't about 1 server lag and your entire char/party is lost. By those standards, Ninja Gaiden and Battletoads are RPG's. Only they aren't, those are just shitty NES games that everyone hated by mid game. We all know that if one of the popular streamers told these idiots "play hc blind folded or it doesn't count. So much "difficulty", so much honor" people would go do it and shit on hc players that don't play blind folded.

In my opinion, Softcore is usually for people who like to casually play and enjoy the game. I play on softcore just because I have a fulltime job and dont want to have to remake a character that already had 40+ hours in it when that character dies. Hardcore are for those who enjoy the challenge of not dying. You all seem to have extra time to put into the game while not dying and trying to survive. If you do happen to die, then you reroll.

I play HC but I definitely don't feel superior to a SC player in any way. I also have a full time job and a family and only come on to play a few hours per night... lvl 73 atm and still trying plan the best way to attempt Merc. Piety (I only play solo for progression content)

HC isn't about how much time someone plays, it's about setting a game atmosphere. People drawn to PoE hardcore are especially spirited about the league because GGG has made a game that caters to them so well. Other than desync, if someone is cautious, has decent gear/spec, and understands the mechanics of different monsters and bosses PoE is a fairly balanced game.

When I come home from a long stressful day at work, nothing makes me forget about the world more than freaking out if my life dips below 30%. The atmosphere, the panic, the challenge, the rewards and recognition from the community from playing a less compromising game mode... if HC players don't put themselves on a little bit of a pedestal for achieving what they can without dying then PoE gets boring much more quickly.

Just remember that not everyone is a jerk, and that those ppl are usually louder than others.
