HC is based on competitiveness. u and the opponent both know only one of u will walk away alive, that said its fairly simple to use ever method nessasary to achieve ur goal, by all means walking alive from the arena.
HC will have mass lvl 10-30 duelers that have a main supplying them items so they can have gladiator streaks.
when u die, u die.
Mains supplying them items? Nah. I don't see that happening. Items aren't exactly in abundance in hardcore mode. I don't see many people dueling tbh, if death is permanent. It will remain a very very limited audience to be able to pvp in hardcore, and thus, they should remove it entirely, or instate the sparring program also together with real death pvp..
u forget that the arena is "optional" and so it would have no meaning to remove it. those who want to try out and see if they are worthy of calling themselves hard core players will duel continually, and some who wish to be top ranked(assuming if it works anything like d2) can choose to pve instead.
What this does is, give confidence to HC players to PvP for death, if they can try it out in PvP sparring mode first...
I can assure you, that nobody with half a brain is gonna want to PvP to death with their fully maxed out lvl 60 HC char they spent money, time and such in.. nobody really... maybe 0.5 %
BUT...
If they were allowed to test their maxed chars out, and feel good about it in a sparring match, they might want to go do REAL PVP after.. for permanent death.'
The point is, why even HAVE PvP in hardcore mode, if nobody uses it ?
There isn't one. So instate both a sparring system and a permanent death one

Lastly, what sparring also does is, it matches your opponent against you.
So let's say you wanna duel a barb, and you're a wizzy. You're unsure they you are both evenly matched and the fight will be fair... so sparr with the barb first.. to see if the battle is one-sided or actually exiciting.. so it can go both ways..
What's exiciting about a PVP match, if u alrdy know who wins?
So you sparr, and find out you have equal skill, items and settings, and THEN
YOU DUEL TO THE DEATH !! ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN !! BOOM.
The problem with that logic is when does a player who's already scared to duel going to actually feel confident enough to go play against someone that he might not be prepared for or are you saying to spar first like your running a dueling scouting program to make sure you aren't against someone better than you. Part of the thrill of hardcore dueling was not knowing if you were going to survive the battle and in my opinion, it should stay that way. Softcore is already set up for those who aren't willing to put in the time and effort into making a truly good dueler.
In addition to that, if the game is supposed to have a matchmaking system in it, then you should technically be positioned against those of an equal level to yourself. That way you should feel safe to duel if the system is actually designed well.
IF you got a 50/50 chance to survive, I don't see how that would suppress any excitement present to the current way. You don't know if u survive or not if you got 50 / 50 % chance..
That's why I think sparring could work. When you go 1on1 sparring with a guy, and you are both winning 50 / 50... and then... you duel for real.. so everybody has the fairest of chances to win..
Who wants to trust the matchmaking system? ;D It can be dangerous.
If I wanna throw my character away on PvP, I at least wanna know that the fight was as FAIR as it could have been, or it would have been wasted.. you get me? I think alot of people would agree with me

"hard" core meant to be Hard-other translation: difficult, challenging, not easy, problematic, tough, full of effort, bother to the bone, complicated, full of obstacles, troubling, complex, overpowered, demanding caution, painful, being an enormous dick to pass through...
stop complaining about hard core. IT MEANT TO BE THAT WAY. <_<
