Well first off it is very simple. i guess you never played in a high PvP environment. When you hit that zone people talk, and when people talk you can judge how good you are. If I go 5 years undefeated and beat every other known PvP'er out there then I am to come to the conclusion that I am the best.
Honestly, you're deluding yourself if you think that'll happen with the way Diablo 3 mechanics work. With all the AoE effects and such available, you could lose a match to a few well placed spells. PvP in Diablo 3 isn't going to be some great skill challenge. You will die to other players..

Hey sounds like Diablo 2....oh wait I did just swell in that...damn. In FACT, it seems Diablo 3 PvP takes much longer to win then D2 so I won't have to worry about that scenario you just painted..isn't that great. Good old Jay made sure of that.

We shall see. I can hardly take your word on anything as you tend to fluff your ego quite heavily. Honestly, I could care less how well you do. ^-^

Thanks for the support buddy!
Anyway, back on topic. Yes I want death PvP. Itll have more meaning, and it will create a landscape where only the best survive.

You're right and you're wrong. A lot of people will go right towards the center and there will be a major blood bath. I'm going to avoid the AOE bloodbath by running to the border of the map and blending in with the trees. After the blood bath, then I will pick off one person at a time. Most people look at PvP as a contest to kill as many other players as possible. I look at the game as survival and that will afford me the most victories.
When you're hardcore, you don't live long by killing off three people at once and dying in the process. You win by hit and running.

Good intelligent post. Rushing in will lead to some kills but odds are you will die also. Picking people off from the sides is a good strategy and allows you room to control the space and zone.
Anyway, I too would like some form of hardcore PvP. Maybe the death doesn't affect PvE hardcore? Or maybe it doesn't kill, but you lose levels or something, or, at the very least, items go into the shared stash when you die.
I am willing to compromise on the whole life and death thing. I am okay with your hardcore character getting frozen for one year, like Han Solo. And you can't use this character during the carbon freeze. Given the fact that each player has limited character slots, people won't abuse this feature and will only keep their best frozen hardcore characters around.
