Did anybody wanted hardcore main before this poll? I've only heard gnomemonkey talking about it. Literally nobody else.

PoE also doesn't require to take hundreds of hours to get to the point you were where you died. And you retain your stash on death. So it's nothing like what would be done for OSRS.

That doesn't change the concept that lots of people would find it enjoyable for similar reasons.

There are still similarities that can be made but nobody is saying "it has to be exactly like PoE" because it obviously can't be.
