Unfortunately though this is the case in EVERY rpg with a hardcore option, its just flat out the strongest defence possible.

ill never understand why people think HC is interesting its literally oh im in danger instalog off whereas on normal you would just die theres literally no difference other than oops your character is gone but you are basically cheating the entire time with log offs so whats the point?
There isnt a point... this has been the issue with poe hc since day one, the real problem is that poe was never developed properly for hc play so there are LOTS of things that can outright oneshot you that are actually, literally unavoidable. Such as oldschool exploding enemies (cant remember what the modifier was called but it was changed to the fire orbs that follow you before exploding) they used to explode in a really big aoe the milisecond they died so if you got, for example, a quad dmg rare mob and you killed it the explosion would instantly go off and oneshot your character and there was literally nothing you could do to avoid it bc it was an instantanious effect. And while they have fixed some of those kinds of issues there are still way too many to allow you to play a legit hc character without log out abuse
I have a genetic predisposition to walking into those Exarch fire balls.
