MMORPGs = hardcore.

Once again your credibility goes down the toilet shio.

Say that to the millions of MMORPG players that each lost thousands of hours in just 1 game. In pure design, MMORPGs are the closest to "harcore", because in order to compete with the best you are forced to lose hundreds of hours just to get in a position where such thing is possible, regardless of the skill. You have a need to band with a guild or other groups of dozens and, with a strategy already in hand, to coordinate with them in order to achieve the objectives.

Halo 3? Just shoot the bastards. Great strategy there!! And skill?! You're playing with a damn gamepad?! Just let the auto-aim do the work, there's no need to aim it yourself.

I ask to everyone: Why run with 1 leg behind my back, when I can just run with both legs?

Oh I already asked a couple of them and they agree with me.

I've lost 1000 hours in Pokemon games for Gameboy and they're surely not hardcore.

Again, in pure design, MMORPGs are the closest to hardcore as you can get. It's basically a secon life, a virtual life where you socialize and compete with other people. You are always forced to lose hundreds of hours just contest the top regardless of skill, something no other game from another genre has done.

Just play EVE Online, a game that truly embodies what MMORPGs are. In EVE Online, it's free-for-all, there's betrayal inside corporations that could even lead to the complete destruction of a corporation of thousands of people (which happened).
You can be scammed, and you can scam others, with no punishment. Those who are have parted their possessions are are being punished by their own stupidity.

If you believe so much that MMORPGs aren't one of the most hardcore sub-genres, then tell me what genres are and why, just so you can listen to yourself.
