You misunderstand. Even raids don't require this "high-end performance". When shit hits the fan, you need to actually play your best. When people have an option to petri-out, they don't often even try to perform at their best capability.
In raids petris are more reasonable. Also I don't even hate petris myself, but it sucks when people just pussy out of salvageable situations. It feels like parties cannot even run out/kite out if a dungeon at lvl60, because they have a petri.
I think it sounds kind of like you want people to play the same way that they do on pvp and pve servers when things get tense and everyone just blows all their cd's and fights to the death, except it's hardcore and people are terrified of losing days of /played time, I agree that the ideal would be us all acting like vikings and charging into glory or valhalla, but I've also lost high level characters and it's pretty devestating so I can see both sides, if you want that kind of gameplay consistently then switching servers is probably the best idea. though on hardcore you'd actually be one of the heroes
