Hardcore POE: Paying for boss kills

Paid for act 4 rushes after the first time doing them for myself because its a faster move to get to maps again on another character.

We pay for convenience all the time in real life, how is paying for a convenience in a game any different?

I pay for act 4 Kaom - Daresso - Piety - Malachai rush in softcore too. I despise these areas. I also pay for Labyrinth runs as Izaro is overtuned, especially for less tanky builds. Not going to wait and overlevel the lab by ten or fifteen levels if I can get the ascendancy bonus now. I hope that provides a sufficient answer to your questions.

And, if HC is so easy, feel free to play there, pay for rushes, use logout macro and feel superior with us instead of posting bait threads :)

I always end up playing hc after I reach my challanges goal.

Act 4 cruel is scary, but always do it myself.

The only difference between sc and hc for me lies in when I start caring about resistances.

For example normal is a joke if you are capped.

Most cases playing hc means not even trying to do some stuff: boss skipping, insance reset, when something is wrong (blast fucking rainer perandus).
Logout macros are stupid, I don't even remember logging out a single time, just do stuff slowly with care and you are safe.

However opening strongboxes with exiles and bearers always give you the adrenaline rush in that 2-5 sec when your screen is frozen.

What ever happened to "just let people play the game how they want"? Or did I miss something - is there an objective right way to play PoE?

If a player wants på play hardcore, be carried past every obstacle by others, logging out with his logout-macro every time his health drops below 20% - just let him play that way.

But of course, I understand the irritation you feel when this dude comes to the forums just to bash on SC players.

Why do people who play HC pay other people to kill bosses for them? Why are you even playing HC if you want to cheese it by having some over-leveled and over-geared player fight the fights that pose the most risk? If you are afraid to lose your character, why are you in hardcore? Just to say you play hardcore?

I see this all day long in global when I am on my HC chars...makes me laugh.

When you level 50+chars to lv 85+ in hc,you will understand.

Because the game allows it.

So that they can claim superiority to SC players of course

The only difference is when a high level HC player dies they lose a week of play time, while when a high level SC player dies they lose a day worth of XP

Lol on week and day comparision.What about gear?

Convenience doesn't change whether in games vs real life, of course I know there's a difference between a game and real life.

Are you really missing this point?

Time is valuable, if there's a method to avoid 2-3 hours and instead are able to get it done in ten minutes why would you not take it?

Feel free to nitpick this post as well.
