How I think is the best way to play PoE2 for hardcore players

It may be obvious, but I just got that idea after 100+ hours in game

So, I believe we should start Hardcore League at start, so that way completing 3 acts would be really challenging.
When character dies -- we do not delete him until move all his equipment to stash.

Also I just figured out that playing Hardcore is not so brutal, because it we manage loot properly it actually becomes easier and easier for each new attempt because there are already some skill gems to use from start, no need to farm rare support gems that are really rare in early game, there are already some good equipment for leveling.

When (and If) we actually finish the game (just first 3 acts) we can switch to play standard league for endgame content.


Why I think we should do it in that order -- its because there is no EXP penalty on death on standard until you reach 70 lvl I believe, so playing standard right from beginning feels too easy and not rewarding


What do you think? Its just my plan for Early Access, may be someone could find it useful.
