Please man, do little research in the forum and site, before posting somthing like this.
I will make it easier, here you go:

Edit: read the end,the cut throat league. They are already testing it for few months now.

Read my post. Ok, it isn't called hardcore, but who cares.
As I said, that won't be very active at all.

Sorry i'm little low on english, but what do you mean by active? Number of players in game? Not posible to kill a player and get his items?

Well I mean that, although it is a cool idea,
the fact that you lose everything when you die doesn't appeal to a lot of people. So only a very small amount of people will be playing in that league.

Hmm, i think you are wrong because already there are people playing HC in PoE (over 8000 characters), and a lot of people played HC d2 also. There will be less people then in normal, but there will still be a lot of player playing it.

But even if your right, is it a bad thing, to give more options to players (even if it is for most hardcore people)? I am almost sure that every player gonna try it at least.

Well, a lot of people play hardcore, but the point of hardcore is not to die.
So only a very very small percentage of the people who play hardcore will engage in hardcore pvp. That's what I mean.

True. I think the appeal of Hardcore-League Cutthroat will be quite limited.

But then, you can play Normal-League Cutthroat as well, if I read that correctly. I can imagine that to be quite thrilling: Get killed while grinding, and then you have to decide: Do I take my second set of gear from the stash and try to get him back, and risk losing that, too? Or do I wait a bit and shift my grinding spot?

You may be right. But there is one difference. You lose items on you (also not items in stash), but you character doesn't die (if it is not a HC cut throat league)

But that's kind of pointless. People would pvp in crappy gear, so that if they die, they don't lose their good gear.

They will not PvP in crapy gear, they will use crapy gear for farming until they get good items. Then with good items, they will go to hunt some other players (at least thats what I plan to do =)). There will probably be guilds, and other interesting things. If its done right, I think it will be a lot fun to play, especially with friends.

love the comparison I have a feeling POE will end up better then Diablo3.

Define better..

I've seen good things about PoE.
I've seen a washed down D3.
