As a vet D2 softcore player, I used to say I wasn't interested in hardcore. After all, I never really thought of myself as a hardcore player, diablo was just something I did for fun after school or work with my friends.
It was fun, nice low stress good times. Then it happened. We were about to jump into uber tristram when I saw one guy talking about this "experimental" sorc he had built that required no gear and was designed to just corpse rush the bosses. (it was terrible btw). I realized that was a complete disconnect from the spirit of play, nah, the very spirit of hobbies in general. If shaking a box of pocket watch parts could at some point accidently make a watch, would you do that instead of learning the skill to build one? I played softcore a little while longer but my heart wasn't in it. It wasn't fun anymore. Then the hardcore checkbox caught my eye when I was deciding on a new build, so I checked it.
I will be playing blind HC for my first run, and when that one finally dies, I'll make another one. Those first ten levels of softcore will be the only softcore levels I ever play in diablo 3.
