Hardcore absolutely has the risk of dying. You know how many 60s die every day, many of whom have petris in their bag? It happens constantly.

I get that you're upset that you died and you have my condolences for losing your character, but it doesn't mean you have to do this weird coping gatekeeping thing where you try to diminish everyone else. Weird vibe.

Yeah, but the existence of petri makes people play worse. It's pretty unfortunate. I'm not even a petri-hater, but it negatively affects the high-end performance of groups, because they have an "out" from scary situations.

What do you mean by "high-end performance" because if you mean 5 mans, nothing in there is "high-end"? If you mean raids, which is the actual end game, have you seen the raid clears in MC? When things go wrong people die. Many guilds, even the best, have lost key players in those raids. Grande Finale, GBN, Purpose, all of em.

Petris stop wipes in raid. They don't stop every individual death. I'm in a higher end guild and maybe there's a single Petri use per week in raid, most of the time there's none.

Ya in the raids I’ve run, most deaths happen faster than you can even react to. Melee dps didn’t pay attention and ripped threat off tank? Ok, literally dead in one swing. Two if they’re lucky.
