[Suggestion] New Gamemode "Hardcore Lite" (Gear & Gold Wipe)

Many players like the adrenaline of Hardcore but are deterred of losing hundreds of hours of progress due to a lag spike or mistake. This proposal suggests a middle ground: a new gamemode "Hardcore Lite" that maintains the high stakes of losing wealth and power but respects your time investment.

In Hardcore Lite, when your character dies:

​* Gear Wipe: All equipped items are destroyed.

​* Gold Lost: All gold carried by your character is lost.

​* Inventory Purge: All items in character’s inventory vanishes.

* Stash Safe: Your stash remains untouched, making "backup gear sets" a valid strategy.

​* Character Survives: Your character remains alive at their current level and returns to town.

Maybe a streamer can push this idea for a Private League event next season and it can gain some traction that way.
The freshness is wearing off on this game for a lot of people, so some sort of extra "challenge" could be novel enough to get some extra attention it normally wouldn't.
And mid-league "Private League" events seem like they could be good avenues for exploring small variations to the game like that. I think it could be a good pairing if 0.5 gets a good and thorough end-game overhaul as part of the update...

Well, Zizaran was talking about mediumcore of losing gear upon death as an alternative way to play. I just think it should be a new gamemode for everyone to enjoy.
