Saying "Scrubcore" is offensive and should be banable/mutable.

Oh, come on. Then saying altF4 league would be offensive too. :<
Please if you cannot be nice to the OP refrain from posting.

Not only is it an insult to players who prefer a certain play style, but it ruins the feel and look of the community. It is a word used by people with an elitist and unfriendly attitude and promotes hatred.

I personally find it offensive when people reference NORMAL mode as "Scrubcore" and sometimes even when it's called "softcore", because neither of these are actually what it's called. I think that along with all other personal insults, saying "scrubcore" to reference normal mode should be banable or mutable if reported by someone who is genuinely offended by it.

I don't really care if anyone else agrees, because either way the fact is it's offensive and ruins the atmosphere of the community.

I can't remember if I reported the last person who I saw using this term but I feel it should not go unpunished.


Dude people have insanely offensive usernames you think GGG actually cares about nicknames for Default league?

I only play softcore, or 'scrubcore'. The word does not offend me. May I suggest developing a thicker skin? I believe people choose when to be offended. It's a game. Why do you care what other people think of which league you choose to play?


this. well said. took the words right out of my mind.

@Op, just rest easy knowing you not one of these pathetic fools that use the term who feel the need to boost their own shitty self esteem, and likely cry themselves to sleep at night.

hmm hardcore is boring and it is pathetic to see people on streams pressing alt f4 everytime they get in trouble.

if i pressed alt f4 b4 i was about to die well i woudnt die iether -.- but my game takes so long to get back into that i rather die.

Personally i beated diablo 3 on HC and i find it somehow sad that if you are really succesfull, your character may live longer than your self, thinking this anoys me in some philosophical way.

anyways i do not think it is actually hardcore when you see people selling everything on default when they die on default and come back...

Play HC if you enjoy it but remember this ... there is a lagspike with your name in it and you wont be able to alt+f4 fast enough

I don't mind what people want to call it, it's not my problem - I play in Standard and Anarchy 'cos that's how I enjoy the game.

For the minority of Hardcore players that refer to Standard as "Scrubcore" there are probably three times as many that wish they wouldn't use that word and behave with that attitude - as it looks bad for all of them.

I have respect for those that can play this game with permanent-death, I'm sure it's exciting and I understand the idea behind it - but it just isn't for me and I'm fine with that.

I can say from personal experience that they very much care about offensive user names if they get reported. Ive had multiple user names changed on me. The trick is, if you think its offensive, make sure to report it. Thats how they know.
