A plea for a permanent roguelike league, in the honor or Nethack

I have been playing only HC since launch, and just now moved to HC SSF -> noticed the game is more fun when the stash was completely empty, and I could not just pick my leveling gear and breeze through act 1. Even the mudworm took some work with what i had.

The fun reminded me of Nethack, which took me ten years to beat (ascended 4 times eventually), but it was worth every minute.

Soon my SSF stash will be full of items, and the early game becomes easier.

The seasons begin eventually, and they will be a similar grindfest for loot - the ones who can sink in most hours during the season will "win".

But what if there was an true roguelike league - every character starts from scratch.

In terms of balancing, the only thing needed is ~1-5k gold in the beginning to mitigate the early rng a bit.

And of course, a scoreboard, on which the run scores would be visible to everyone when they eventually die:
