The whole point of Hardcore is losing everything upon death.
Being able to move a character to Era is not that.
Just incredible. Same as the mockery that was the hardcore community, Blizzard refuses to do it properly. At this point really just add appeal tokens to the store.
Do you want these realms to be popular? There is a lot of people that want to try it. They might not care much if they die at lvl 15, but if they make it to lvl 40 they don’t want to loose the char. These people would not roll on HC withouth the option. And there is a lot of them.
And who are you to decide what rules everyone else should live by? Typical entitled Karen. You delete and reroll when you die, and let other players do what they want.
Era realms are not hardcore so what’s the problem of moving there after death? The challenge is to survive as long as you can on the hardcore realms.
Some players can use the hardcore realms as fresh realms for leveling and transfer to Era after they die.
You still lose when you die on the hardcore realm - you loose the right to continue playing on the hardcore realms with your guild and friends. When you move to Era, you might not know anyone there. It’s not a small loss in my opinion.
I dont care. If its not a complete loss of the character how can you call it hardcore.
Thats literally the whole premise of hardcore modes in original games, losing the character on death.
But hey, im once again speaking to the community that unironically uses the terms “non consensual” or “griefing” for PvP. The error is clearly mine.
One step closer to WoW token on Era.
It is called som, not hardcore
I understand what you mean. But Blizzard has already decided and unlikely they will change it. I guess it’s more profitable for them this way. A player who is not so good at the game would follow the hype and try hardcore. After they die 1-2 times they would give up but with transfer to Era they can continue playing and pay their sub.
But there is no hardcore in era right? so… what do you care?
if you play hardcore now with the addon you lose the character completely?
Why is it your matter if a player quits Hardcore realm via transfer? Functionally character is lost to the challenge. More so being able to save your progress, be it on softcore realm, makes people more likely to try hardcore again.
And while we at it, you will have to delete characters once you hit 50 characters per account limit.
So you die on Hardcore and cannot revive on that server?
Heck you wouldn’t even know if people moved their characters anyway, so why would you care?.
It’s removed form hc progress, so it dosent matter tbh.
I’m sure you’re also one of those I… who don’t consider trading and AH hardcore. But also play SSF with addons and let RXP show the best and easiest route 
Will you still play it although it’s not real hardcore?
Nice random assumptions Einstein, great way to have a conversation. No i dont use addons that make the game worse. All these addons you listed shouldve been banned long ago, among countless others.
As someone else said, this is sorely done to to keep people subscribed so that, when they give up on trying, continue playing their dead characters on era.
And therefor its not hardcore. The whole point of hardcore is LOSING all your progress. Not moving it somewhere else.
I agree with OP.
Its not HC when you can buy armor + health potions from AH that work as lay on hands…
We can always play on the original hardcore version, using the addon, but not even that version is really hardcore with those many appeals and even cheaters who disabled their addon to get some bags and gold from friends.
My concern is when the bots will start farming BOEs to get the upper hand on those servers like they always do and hardcore will become way to soft to even feel satisfied for reaching max level.
It is HC if you can level to 60 without dying. Potions or not - who cares?
You do this as a test on yourself, if you prefer not using potions then go for it. No one else cares really.
Well the rest of you who can use lay on hands every 2 minutes with health pots from AH, should not deserver the Hc challange if you reach 60. How can you die with lay of hands every 2 min is the question
Since when did Warriors get Lay on Hands? :o
Health pots than can be bough cheap from AH heals you 100% of your hp until like level 25. THey are called healing potion and have no level req, and you can send them to your fresh level 1 from start. (and they only have 2min cd)
I bet you are one of those SSF hardcore players who use countless addons and Waekaura and let RXP show you the easiest way to 60 with a purchased guide. I can only laugh at you Want to tell others what real hardcore is and make the game as easy as possible with addons. Haha
