http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/news/raids-are-hardcore/ I do believe this is what you are trying to refer to. Granted, you missed the nail by a mile. That's okay though, everyone seems to have this misconception that Wildstar itself was hardcore, but I reckon it's just the people like you, who didn't bother to read anything on the game prior to purchasing it. The only mention of Hardcore was the raids, and yes, those are pretty damn core for the average raider. They definitely aren't easy by any means and only groups with extremely amazing coordination are going to perform flawlessly.

EQ1 and EQ2 both had/have instanced raiding AND avatars (contested open world raid bosses).

He'd rather stay here and gank baddies. The minute they kill and loot him he'll be back in WoW, Rift or wildStar. PVPers always claim that they want Hardcore PVP but won't stick with the PVP centric games. They want to be able to beat up on the casual PvPers who are just screwing around on the weekends lol.

never really looked at day Z might have to, and same for the SOE game sounds promising maybe more mmos are going back to the sanbox/challenging route.
