I played D3 and I know how effin hard it was and still is to beat inferno mode on a normal server let alone Hardcore. And people still played Hardcore Mode (perma death) for that matter. One of the top D3 players in Europe (live feed n all) actually got killed by a bunch of wyverns in Act 3 or 4 (dont remember)Hardcore Inferno because he alt tabbed out for a few seconds. You should have seen him laugh it off then say "oh well its just a game" despite having lost in one second of stupidity 60+ hours of gameplay.

Please read and re-read till you understand this:

Final Fantasy XIV is -not- made to be played that way, it's as simple as that. You keep using Diablo as an example, but you might as well compare it to Nethack, both comparisons make no sense. You are talking about completely different games.

What you are asking is akin to asking for a solo only server, a level 1 server, a one hit kills everything (including you) server, or a chocobo racing onry server. All of those "modes" can be genuinely fun, can be found on other games and work well on these games, but Final Fantasy XIV has not been designed to support them. It would be a wasted effort unless they completely rebalanced the game for / on that server.
