The rules are there. GGG is balancing the game with alt+f4 in mind. People are playing with alt+f4 in mind. So use it if you need to.

Which is just fucking hilarious.

That it is, my man, that it is.

'Unforgiving continent of wraeclast' that allows you to fade out of battle whenever you feel you've bitten more than you can chew.

I think talking about whether or not something is hardcore is simply downright silly, especially in regards to PoE and D3.

Everything is hardcore if you nolife it, PoE and D3 included. But neither are defined by it.

Central to PoE is the skill tree and the skill gems, that's what absolutely everything in the game centers on. It's a complicated thing to be certain but it's by no means hardcore. You don't need extensive investment in PoE to get a basic grasp on those things. PoE is defined by these things, it makes it a complex game but not a hardcore game. It makes it to aRPGs what 4x games are to strategy, it's the thoughtful game of the genre, not the hardcore one.

Central to D3, in my admittedly short impression thus far, are legendaries and more frantic combat. It's quick and simple but still great fun. Most certainly not hardcore. It makes it to aRPGs what MOBAs are to strategy, it's the action-packed game of the genre, again not the hardcore one.

For an example of a game defined by it's hardcore nature I'd sooner look at say EvE Online, a game defined by it's corporations, alliances, politics and massive fleet battles. All things that absolutely require a serious investment into the game.

You can play what PoE is all about without serious investment. You can play what D3 is all about without serious investment. You can not play what EvE is all about without serious investment.

Then I guess you don't read the forums much. Its not hard to see why it exists.

I know what provokes the issues, but I don't understand why people are so easily provoked. And it bothers me because so many threads are derailed by the hardcore superiority complex circlejerk. I like muh serious discussions.

That has nothing to do with HC-SC crap.
If you pay a little bit more attention, it's a whole alft+f4/log-out thing, not just in HC leagues.

So, if you've read what you wanted to read, does that mean you suffer from some kind of complex? Possible HC superiority complex?
