Not everyone plays HC for the same reason and nobody should use hitting 100 as a statement either way both HC and SC hit 100 the same way because its dumb to do it any other way.

The Anti HC wagon is just as juvenile as the no skill/Anti SC wagon, not every player uses a logout macro just like not every SC player goes for 4k hp and 6 portals every boss like come on guys have some depth to your views.

Not to labour the point, but the only reason "softcore" players have ever come across as anti-hardcore players is because of the obnoxious, nasty hubris of so many hardcore players. You don't see non-hardcore players baiting HC players with juvenile goads, but you see the reverse constantly. The two are not nearly the same.

Yeah thats mainly true, but at some point the SC players get so touchy about it that they become the aggressors anytime someone mentions HC or SC at all.

See this thread as a perfect example. Is there a single actual critism or joke about SC the whole time? Dont see one in ANY comment, but there are at least 10 from SC players who perceive a slight anytime someone mentions the game has 2 modes.

You mean except your thread?

''But, playing SC, no fight has any meaning. I can die over and over and over, and it means nothing.
It's like playing practice for a game instead of a game.''

''So, how do you get used to playing SC when the fights don't matter, when death holds no meaning?''

''How do you derive value from killing your enemies when they can kill you 1,000,000 times with no end and it doesnt matter?''

You may have tried to camouflage it but it is still elitism in disguise.

You see both fairly often as soon as either mode gets mentioned, most players are only receptive to one though because its the mode they play, completely glossing over the other.

No, its not. This is the touchiness I was talking about.

Death can only possibly do two different things in SC, (1) waste some components, so it can cost some currency. And it can (2) limit your level, but most builds are functional at mid 80s, and just get incrementally more powerful.

Is that not factual? Is that not objectively reality?

Im not going to dive into politics but this is just like when you mention some political reality and someone gets triggered and either believes they are being attacked or wants to pretend they are being attacked.

These are your hangups, not mine.
