I disagree with you Dox, and honestly I think you have a little bit of an elitist attitude towards softcore players. I'm happy you are enjoying your HC experience, but that is your opinion, and your opinion is not universal.

Softcore is where the replayability is. Most of the fun of this game is playing with friends, you NEED to have a group of people where you can logon and go 'Hey lets go farm X' and you can make a group and clear some stuff and get some loots.

Hardcore mode discourages getting in a game with 3 friends and clearing elites. It is SUPER risky and will most likely end in deaths. Most Hardcore farming is based around goblins and other safe ways to get items, which are not fun to me and do not provide a challenge.

Also, once PvP is released, Softcore with its majority of players will be the place to participate in it. Whilst I know hardcore chars will be able to PvP as well, most HC Inferno players have Softcore chars and will most likely PvP with them due to the larger player base. I know myself and some friends are anticipating that patch.

Back on topic however, If you want to keep playing this game, you need to make it a social experience, you need friends to play with and the game remains fun no matter how easy Blizzard make it.
